"Khud Se Mila Ek Din"
Ek din main khud se mila,
Bina kisi naqaab ke, bina kisi sila.
Aankhon mein the kuch adhoore khwab,
Dil mein chhupi thi kuch purani baat.
Chand se poocha, kyun tu aadha hai?
Usne kaha, "Poora hone mein bhi kuch khas baat nahi hoti."
Main samjha, har kami mein bhi ek roshni hoti hai,
Aur har khushi se pehle ek tanhayi hoti hai.
Phir baithi main khud ke paas,
Behti rahi yaadon ka ek udaas sa raag.
Par un yaadon mein chhupi thi ek muskaan,
Jo dard ke baad bhi reh jaati hai jaan.
Zindagi ka har mod kuch sikhata hai,
Kabhi giraata, kabhi uthaata hai.
Par asli jeet tab hoti hai,
Jab insaan khud ko gale lagata hai.
