KHud-farebi

Yaqoob Rahi

;

subh suraj ki kiran
kucha kucha teri ummid mein bhaTkati hai

sham hote hi andheron mein bikhar jati hai
TuTti aas ki manind

tere dard ki lau
raat-bhar aankhon mein rah rah ke ubhar aati hai

subh se pahle dhuli aankhon mein
bujh ke rah jati hai

garm sanson ki tarah
tujh se milne ki KHalish

aaj bhi meri rag-o-pai mein sulagti hai magar
jaane kyun kal se ye rah rah ke KHayal aata hai

zindagi
KHud-farebi ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
