andheron ujaalon ki hai ye laDaai — Navin Joshi

kuchh vaqt zaraa aur nahar duudh ki legi
farhaad ko tesha nahin manzur huaa hai

nishaan raahi ke raahon pe ho na ho lekin
nishaan raahon ke aksar mileinge raahi pe

mohabbat faqat lafz thaa ek khaali
ye kis ne kahaa thaa maaani milaa do

vo niind mili hai ki jo puuri nahin hoti
vo khvaab milaa hai ki jo maazur huaa hai

ki haasil yahi mausamon kaa rahaa
bahaaron ke patte khizaan tak gae

is dafa to zindagi jaldi mein thi
kah do agli baar fursat mein mile
