Himmat na rahi

aadat nahi rahi ab girke sambhalne ki meri,
bahut saha hai, aadat nahi rahi sehne ki meri,
har baar tuta hoon main, tut ke juda bhi hoon,
bikhar chuka hoon itna ki judne ki taqat na rahi meri,

ek junoon sa tha kabhi dil me mere mohabbat ke liye,
ek tadap si thi dil me mere kisi ko paane ke liye,
kho chuka hoon use main, paa nahi sakta ye malum bhi hai,
ab fir kisi ko paake khone ki taaqat nahi rahi meri,

chalte chalte raah pe aajkal thokar lag jati hai mujhe,
dikhta nahi hain kuch bhi aankhon ke saamne mujhe,
aisa nahi hota tha pehle ki koi sambhaale mujhko,
ladkhadaaya hoon itna ki ab sambhalne ki taaqat na rahi meri,

kyun hota hai aisa mohabbat me ki hum khud ko bhool jaate hain,
pehle to aise na the jaisa mohabbat karne ke baad ho jaate hain,
thaama tha kisi ka haath kabhi khud se zyaada aetbaar karke,
khaai hai thokar aisi ki ab fir haath pakadne ki himmat na rahi....
