Ek sawaal...

yahi khayaal reh rehkar dil mei kyu aata hai?
kya hai vo jo akela sa tujhe kar jaata hai?
bahut chaaha javaab iska dhoondu magar,
ye sawaal bas ek sawaal bankar hi rehjaata hai.

sab kuch hokar bhi kya kami rehjaati hai?
jo ye hasi aakar baar baar lautjaati hai.
kitna bhi sakhht bahar sekarle tu khudko magar,
kuch to baat hai andar, jo tujhe bar bar sataati hai.

khud se yuhi kabhi baat karke dekha maine.
ek alag se jahaan mei khud ko lejaakar dekha maine.
socha ke nayi raah shayad aaj milegi mujhe,
lekin fir bhi toofaano mei khudko uljha dekha maine.

yaad to sab aata hai ab bhi magar,
lekin dil na jaata hai ab us dagar.
lekin jab bhi udaasi chhati hai firse,
yaad aata hai sirf tera hi nagar.

ye jaruri to nahin har khwaaish puri hoti ho.
har kisise door jaane ki hmaari majburi hoti ho.
mat ghabra qki,
ek tu hi ni hai is duniya mei aisa,
jiski har ek kahaani adhuri hi rehti ho.

akela tera jahan hai aaj to kya hua,
puchne vala koi na paas hai to kya hua.
karle khud se hi do meethi baatein tu aaj,
dil ye tera udaas hai to kya hua.
