bas ek nazar

Zindagi yun bhi chalti hai…

Na koi dagar hai, na koi rasta,
Na duniya bhar se koi wasta,
Surkh sannato ko sine se lapete…
Bin jani pahchani aankho ke beech,
Zindagi yun bhi chalti hai…

Dam lene ko jo chahu, hasart nahi hoti,
Ab sans lene ki bhi fursat nahi hoti,
Dubte hui dharkano ko bina chahat khinchti,
Umeed darkne lage hai sine ke beech…par…
Zindagi yun bhi chalti hai.

“Khwahiso ka na poora hona, naya nahi hai,
Par usne mujhse kabhi kuchh kaha nahi hai,
Insaniyat ke hatho khud ko geervi rakh,
Darar parte jamino ko pathar se seench…
Zindagi yun bhi chalti hai.”
