By Fazal Abubakkar Esaf
Dhoondhta hoon main khud ko aksar,
Jaise koi khwab tha, toot gaya ho...
Raaston ne poocha nahin,
Main kis mod pe chhoot gaya hoon.
Barf ke jaisey the kuch lamhe,
Haathon se fisal gaye...
Dil ne jo pukara tha kabhi,
Naam bhi bhool gaye.
Chaand ko kya khabar meri raaton ki,
Wo toh sirf roshni banke aata hai...
Mitti mein lipta ek khat hoon main,
Jo kab ka jalaya gaya hai.
Koi aansoon ki mehak pehchaane,
Toh kehna, main yahin hoon kahin...
Na mohabbat ka sila chaahiye,
Na gila... sirf sukoon kahin.
Yaadon ko bhi neend aa jaaye,
Aisi dua kab maangi thi...
Bas itna chaha tha—
Waqt thoda ruk jaaye, jab tu saath thi.
