VOH AASMA!

Voh aasma koi aur tha jiski mujhe talash thi…

Oodun jahan pankh pasar…kshtij ke par!

Sapno per na koi lagam ho, swachand ho mann mera…

aur har roj ek naya savera!

Shaam dhale toh oodun chand ke par tak…

Aur angina tare ho rah guzar!

Voh asaam koi aur tha jiski mujhe talash thi…

Ye aasma unchaha sa lagta hai…

Sapno se pare, soch ke vipreet lagta hai!

Oodun kaise ye aasma paraya sa lagta hai…

Na swachand hai mann mera aur na kshtij dikhta hai!

Voh asaam koi aur tha jiski mujhe talash thi…

Kab subah aayi kab sham dhali, nahi jaan pati hu main…

Pankh bandhe hain aur ye aasma pinjre sa dikhta hai!

Ye aasma kabhi na manga tha par udaan se rishta purana tha…

Toh darr kaisa, chinta kahe ki…

Bas pasarungi pankh aur udh jaungi main…!

Ye aasma mera nahi toh kya…

Voh aasma zaroor paungi main…!

BACHPAN

Phir aaj kuch purane bakse tatolne ko jee chahta hai,
Bachpan ko phir ek baar jeene ko jee chahta hai,,

Dhool mei lipte, kuch khilone hain abhi tak rakhe huye,
Unki dhool hata, phir ek baar sajane ko jee chahta hai,,

Yu to bachpan mei lautna hamesha hee jee chahta hai,
Par aaj apna bachpan kuch jayada hee yaad aata hai,,

Vo barish aur meethi dhup se bana ho indradhanush ya ho raat ke jugnu,
Jo bachpan mei lubhate the itna, unka ehsaas bhi hona hai ab mushkil,,

Har din ki daud bhaag mei, jhat se bada hone ki chah mei,
Vo bachpan mujhse phisal gaya aur sab kuch badal gaya ek baar mei,,

Uss bachpan ko koi mujhe lauta de kash,
Aur samay ka pahiya koi ulta chala de aaj,,

Phir aaj kuch purane bakse tatolne ko jee chahta hai,
Bachpan ko phir ek baar jeene ko jee chahta hai,,

KASHMKASH!

Ek dorahe per ye zindagi khadi si nazar aati hai,
Har rah guzar kuch anjaan si nazar aati hai,,
Jin rahon per aksar aana jaana tha,
Voh rahein ab gum naam nazar aati hain, 

Aur kuch ajeeb si vo kashmkash hai,
Jo ek kinare lagne nai deti hai,,

Har rishte ka aagaz hote humne dekha,
Aur phir usse majdhar mei har ek saans ke liye ladte dekha,,
Kuch ko humne ubherte dekha,
Kuch ko paar lagne ki chah mei manzil se bhatakte dekha,,

Aur kuch ajeeb si vo kashmkash dekhi,
Jo ek kinare lagne nai deti,,

Aise vaise, na jane kaise ek mamuli khwab dekha,

Subah ki oos, sham ki lalima ke sath use badhta dekha,,

Uss ek chah mein khud ko bikharte aur khud hi ko sametate dekha,

Dur nahi hai, dur nahi hai kehte kehte khud ko pahunchate dekha,,

Hath badaya... cheen liya, aur usse daman mein girte dekha,

Phir kuch ajeeb si vo kashmkash dekhi,
Jo ek kinare lagne nai deti,,

Iss choti si duniya mei, logon ki badti bheed dekhi,
Har chehra anjaan dekha, har chehra apne aap mei pareshaan dekha,,
Kuch ko iss duniya mei sab pate dekha,
Kuch ko ek pal mei sab gawante dekha,,
Kuch ko aate dekha, kuch ko jaate dekha, 

Aur kuch ajeeb si vo kashmkash dekhi,
Jo ek kinare lagne nai deti,,
