Kuch udaas chehre...!

Kuch udaas chehre
chaukhat pe khade

raah takte hain,

na jaane kaun gaya
tha kal,

na jaane kaun aayega,

ye intzaar,
ye ummeed,
ye bharosa
kabhi na tootne waala,

kal jo toot gaya
to jeena mushqil kar dega,

Zindagi ke jhoote
waade ,

aur kuch tooti kasme,

reh reh ke jalate hain,

par ek shaam jo chaukhat
pe chaand aayega,

sab bhool jaayenge
wahi log,

aur gale lag ke royenge,

un puraane zakhmon pe
marham lagayenge,

Ye ghana andhera chhat jaayega,

ujaale ruk jaayenge,
umaren lambi ho jaayengi,

hamesha rehne waala
neeras maahaul
phir wapas aa jaayega,

kal badlega,

par tab tak yunhi
chalta rahega,

intzaar kal ka,

inhi aankhon me
isi chaukhat par......!
