ik chhoTaa saa thaa meraa aashiyaan — Rajendera Krishan

log ro ro ke bhi is duniyaa mein ji lete hain
ek ham hain ki hanse bhi to guzaaraa na huaa

ik mohabbat ke sivaa aur na kuchh maangaa thaa
kyaa karein ye bhi zamaane ko gavaaraa na huaa

na jhaTko zulf se paani ye moti TuuT jaaeinge
tumhaaraa kuchh na bigDegaa magar dil TuuT jaaeinge

na chaaraagar ki zarurat na kuchh davaa ki hai
duaa ko haath uThaao ki gham ki raat kaTe

is bhari duniyaa mein koi bhi hamaaraa na huaa
ghair to ghair hain apnon kaa sahaaraa na huaa

ye naazuk lab hain yaa aapas mein do lipTi hui kaliyaan
zaraa in ko alag kar do tarannum phuuT jaaeinge

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

kaisaa firaaq kaisi judaai kahaan kaa hijr
vo jaaegaa agar to khayaalon mein aaegaa

aisi hi intizaar mein lazzat agar na ho
to do ghaDi firaaq mein apni basar na ho

judaaiyaan to muqaddar hain phir bhi jaan-e-safar
kuchh aur duur zaraa saath chal ke dekhte hain

pakDaa huun kinaara-e-judaai
jaari mire ashk ki nadi hai
