pahle talaash kijiye manzil ki rahguzar — Govind Gulshan

zid par aDe hue hain ye dil bhi dimaagh bhi
ab dekhnaa hai in mein asar-daar kaun hai

rahguzar hai udaas meri tarah
jaane kab vo yahaan se guzregaa

phir mujhe yaad aaegaa bachpan
ik zamaana gumaan se guzregaa

zehn aur dil mein jo an-ban hai vo an-ban na rahe
is liye darmiyaan divaar banaa rakkhi hai

ek mushkil ho to aasaan banaa li jaae
us ne to zindagi dushvaar banaa rakkhi hai

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

fikr-e-maaash o ishq-e-butaan yaad-e-raftagaan
in mushkilon se ahd-baraai na ho saki

kitnaa buad hai mere fan aur peshe ke maabain
baahar daanish-var huun lekin mill mein oil-man

fikr-e-tajdid-e-hijr hai varna
kab mujhe vasl ki zarurat hai

aql ne tark-e-taalluq ko ghanimat jaanaa
dil ko badle hue haalaat pe ronaa aayaa
