kyon aate ho

kyon aate ho aaj afsoss karne mere halaat pe
main bas barbaad hua hoon tuta to nahin

kuch hasratoon ka hi khoon kiya tumne to kya
maine kuch pal khoye hain sapne to nahin

cheen le gaye the tum bahut se sapne bhi mere
bacha gumaan-e-hasti hai khayal to nahin

khayaloon mein kya hai tum khayal se poocho
meri arzoo ki ghadi hai, maizat to nahin

tum shayad aaye nazara meri maiyat ka dekhne
yeh jasn-e-zindagi hai, koi mataam nahin

kyon laga yeh khaak ho jayenge ab tumhare bina
ye dhadakta dil hai, jalta chirag nahin

dhadak raha tha dil barsoon bhi tumhare bina
do pal zindagi hai quaiyanat tak nahin

quaiyanaat kisne dekhi jo Kapil yeh keh gaya
tera hona quaiyanaat se kum to nahin
