ek tanha sa musaafir tha, us bheegi si mehfil mein.
ek ugta sa suraj tha, uski har ik rag mein.
ek raah thi usne pakdi, manzil dhundne wo chala tha.
kuch karne ki chaah mein, usne apno ko khoya tha.
har dagar pe, har shahar mein,
bhatakta hua sa khud ko pata tha wo.
jawab paane ki koshish mein,
sawaalo ko hi bhulaane laga tha wo.
zindagi ek safar hai aisa suna tha usne,
us hi safar ka anjaam haasil karna chahta tha wo.
har pal apne dil mein, khushiyo ko kaid karne ka khwab dekhta tha wo,
par aaj.. khwab tootne ke dar se, apni hi saanso ka saath chhod raha tha wo.
ek raah thi usne pakdi aur manzil ke kareeb ab aane laga tha wo.
