kabhi rota hai

kabhi rota hai kabhi rulata hai
mujhe ashkoon mein dard deta hai
sukoon milta hai dekh kar usko
phir yeh dariya yunhi behta hai

nikal abr se har pal yun aata
bas aise hi jhalak dikhlata hai
kaise kahoon main usse rukne ko
woh waqt to bas chalta jaata hai

thaamta hoom jab bhi haath uska
woh nabz pakadne nahin deta hai
bachaa kar aapni har dhadkan ko
woh mujhe jeene nahin deta hai

kuch hai fiza mein uske ghar ki
sabhi ko aapna beemar karta hai
aur lagta pehra aapne makaan pe
kissi ko wahan nahin basata hai
