adhoori hasratein

agar adhoori hasratoon pe raote rehte
to na jaane kis-kis ka yun malaal karte

hai chand hi sansein yeh ek zindagi apni
isse kaise jeete, agar hum roz marte rehte

ye fansala chand kadam, meeloon ki duri
do kadam kaise chalte agar sochte rehte

chodd aye the kahin khud ko kabhi yun
saans kaise lete agar wo bhoj dhote rehte

aaj na raha woh manzar, na woh jazba
yeh kaise likhte agar usi mein dube rehte

bahut mushkil jeena, aur mushkil marna
yun hi marr kar kis kis ka jawaab dete

hain sansein baaki kuch to abhi Kapil
hum har saans se kis-kis ka hisaab lete
