Ek Ajnabi ..

Aaj ek pal hai paas mere, dil ko sukoon hai, araam hai.
Beete din, saal, mahine aise, mere khwaabon ko bhi aaj kehni ek fariyad hai.
Bachpan ke hum saathi tere, sang rahe, chaahe dhoop ho ya saaya,
kis haal mein honge bhoole khwaab, mann mein kabhi ye khyaal na aaya ?

Main sharmayi, sakuchayi, boli dheere se khwabon se,
bichhar gaya vo jiske hisse the tum, chhoota mann phir mera tum sab se.
Bhatakti thi main bhi bin baat hi, yaad aati thi har lamha tumhaari.
phir duniya ko gale lagaya, bhool ke tumse apni yaari.

Muskura diye khwaab, pakad haath, bitha liya paas mujhe,
Bole, hum toh tere apne hain, duniya ne kya diya tujhe ?
Duniya ka mann maila hai, vo kabhi kisi ko nahin apnaati.
matlab nikaal, phir nazar churaane se bhi nahin sharmaati.

Haan, hua kuchch aisa hi mere saath bhi. Duniya ne diye dhoke kai baar,
Jinhein dost keh kar milvaaya mujhse, unhone hi kiye mujhpe vaar.
Par duniya ke hi daaman mein chhupi, thi ek tanhai bhi,
usne diya mera saath har kadam, ban gayi vo jaise meri parchhaai hi.

Khwaabon ne lagaya gale mujhe, bole, humse ab kya sharmaana,
duniya ko, tanhai ko chhor, humaare dil mein phir se tu bas jaana.
Hum saath dekh kise laayein hain, vo door khada hai jo,
ek safar hai uski nazaron tak ka, ab haath pakad chal us or.

Saare safar rahenge saath tere, vaada hai ye humaara tujhse,
Aankhon mein dekh sachchai khwaabon ke, phir raha na gaya mujhse.
Kadam badhaaye, chali us or, khada hai ek ajnabi jahan.
Shayad bane dost mera aur khwaabon ka, shayad bhula sakoon main duniya ko vahan.
