Mera dard

har ek muskaan ke pichhe chhipa rehta hai
ek aisa shaks jo bahut duur rehta hai
yun to kabhi yaad uski aati nahi humein
par wo har lamha mere dhadkano me rehta hai

koi aisa jiske hasne se haste the kabhi
wo shaks jiske aansuon pe rona aataa tha
wo jo dil ke bahut kareeb tha mere kabhi
wo shaks jisse jude the mere har ek ehsaas

main aaj bhi unhi yaadon ke samundar me hoon
tairke nikalne ki koshish karta hoon har baar
par har ghadi aur zyaadaa doobta chalaa jaataa hoon
duur jaane ki koshish me aur kareeb hota chalaa jaataa hoon

ek shaks jisne khwaabon me aa aaa ke neenden gum kar di
ek shaks jisne saanson me samaake dhadkane tez kar di
agar mil jaaye kahin wo mujhe yunhi chalte chalte kabhi
poochhunga usse ki kya kasoor tha mera jo yu chhod gaye
kya saath isi liye nibhaayaa tha kabhi ki chhod jaaoge
muskaan chehre pe laaye the ye soch ke ki kabhi rulaaoge

kyun meri zindagi me aake meri khushiyon ko mujhse duur le gaye
le jaanaaa tha meri jaan le jaate, kyun meri muskaan le gaye
jise chaaha tha khud se badh ke maine kabhi
kyun wo mujhe bhulaake meri aaakhon me ansoo chhod gaye

kya mohabbat isi ka naam hai ki kisi ko tadapta chhod jaaye
nibhaake saath kuch lamhon ka use tanha chhod jaaye
suna tha kisi se ki mohabbat to ek khoobsurat ehsaas hai
par maaloom an huwa mujhe ki ye to kuch aur hi hai....
