vo raakhon mein sharaare DhunDte hain
hamein khud mein hamaare DhunDte hain
kisi ke kaam khud aate nahin hain
musibat mein sahaare DhunDte hain

Archana Johri
koi sho'la jalaa gayaa phir se soi khvaahish jagaa gayaa phir se
main jise bhulne hi vaalaa thaa vo mujhe yaad aa gayaa phir se
ek jangal si zindagi kaaTi main ne ro-ro ke har ghaDi kaaTi
chhoD kar vo mujhe gayaa ik din aur vo hi dil dukhaa gayaa phir se

kaise kahun ki yaad vo aataa nahin kabhi
hai sach yahi ki zehn se jaataa nahin kabhi
kyon puchhte ho haal mujhe dekhne ke baa'd
chehra to dil kaa haal chhupaataa nahin kabhi

jinhein sapnon ki khaatir rote dekhaa
unhein sapnon ko hi phir Dhote dekhaa
dikhaanaa raasta thaa kaam jis kaa
usi rahbar ko ham ne sote dekhaa

use main bhuul jaaun ai khudaa itnaa karam kar de

miri hasti hai tujh se hi ise ab tu hi kar kaamil
jo kam hai kar 'ataa jo hai ziyaada us ko kam kar de

mujhe tanhaai mein aksar milaa hai
khayaalon mein vahi dilbar milaa hai
yuun milne ke Thikaane aur bhi hain
kabhi chhajje kabhi chhat par milaa hai

pyaar par e'tibaar mat karnaa
shauq mein yunhi pyaar mat karnaa
dil bahut qimti hai chiiz suno
har kisi par nisaar mat karnaa

biite lamhon ko phir jiyaa jaae
un ko kuchh yaad yuun kiyaa jaae
yuun to oDhi thi ham ne khaamoshi
us kaa par naam bhi liyaa jaae

usi se dosti bhi hai usi se dushmani bhi hai
vahin par aab hai lekin vahin par tishnagi bhi hai
use mandir mein kyon DhunDhein use masjid mein kyon DhunDhein
jahaan par aasthaa hogi vahin par bandagi bhi hai

jinhein sapnon ki khaatir rote dekhaa
unhein sapnon ko hi phir Dhote dekhaa
jo bhaai-chaare ki karte himaayat
unhein nafrat ki faslein bote dekhaa
