zindagi aankhoon mein

zindagi aankhoon mein guzar rahi hai kuch aise
haqqiqat se meri koi jang chal rahi ho jaise

main to yehi soch raha tha ab tak aye tamanna
tu mujhe milane ke liye tadap rahi ho jaise

betahasha umeed ki tujhe paane ki maine magar
yeh zamana mujhe har mod pe rok raha ho jaise

bathak raha hoon sab se dur main ek dasht mein
yahan lagta hai sahar mujhse chup gaya ho jaise

ab kisi se kisi ki koi umeed main rakhta kyon
bheed se har dost guzarta hai, ajnabi ho jaise

kho chuka hoon main khud ko bhi is hujoom mein
'Kapil' koi purana sa ek bezaar zarra ho jaise
