koi nahin tha

aaj shayad wahan koi nahin tha

bas dhoond ki chadar thi
jismein shayad koi chal raha tha
kuch kadmoon ki ahaat thi
jaise koi bahut jaldi mein tha

shayad kuch bhool gaya tha
jisse woh wahan khoj raha tha
ghup andhera bas wahan tha
magar woh fir bhi dhoond raha tha

main ek pal ruk ke chal diya
socha ki shayad koi majboor tha
har ahaat pe ussi ko dhyan diya
jaise woh bas mujhe hi dekhta tha

main kyon nahin ruka
shayad woh bas madat chahta tha
main kyon nahin ruka
shayad woh wakiyaa karna chata tha

darr to tha mujhe kuch
jo mein usse dekh kar sahma tha
tha uski ahaat mein kuch
jo main ghabra kar nikala tha

wahan dur se dekhta raha
par dhood chatane pe koi nahin tha
main to wahin khada raha
par raste par ab koi nahin tha

aaj shayad wahan koi nahin tha
