aaj hi subha hui

kaisi awaaz suni,
kya fariyad hui
apni mohobat mein
fikr bekaar hui

nazar aayi nahin
aankh talabgar hui
anjaan umeed mein
inse kya khata hui

brahm unka raha
raah pe nigah rahi
aaj aise din guzra
raat bezaar hui

aahat aayi magar
dhund se chupi rahi
umeed jagi rahi
milke puri hui

kaisa khwab tha
unse mulakat hui
band aankhon mein
unse baat hui

jag kar lagta hai
baat baki rahi
char kadam ka fasla
ek umr ki duri hui

do kadam badaye
do ki guhaar hui
in kaanon mein
aur kaise bahar hui

haath tham ke
bin kahe baat hui
jo bachi umeed thi
na_umeedi ke par hui

kyon na aaye milne
issi ki darkaar rahi
aaj mil gaye tum
baas aaj hi subah hui
