Mujhe ghar yaad aata hai

simaT kar kis liye nuqta nahin banti zamin kah do
ye phaila aasman us waqt kyun dil ko lubhata tha

har ek samt ab anokhe log hain aur un ki baaten hain
koi dil se phisal jati koi sine mein chubh jati

inhi baaton ki lahron par baha jata hai ye bajra
jise sahil nahin milta

main jis ke samne aaun mujhe lazim hai halki muskurahaT mein kahen ye honT tum ko
jaanta hun dil kahe 'kab chahta hun main'

inhi lahron pe bahta hun mujhe sahil nahin milta
simaT kar kis liye nuqta nahin banti zamin kah do

wo kaisi muskurahaT thi bahan ki muskurahaT thi, mera bhai bhi hansta tha
wo hansta tha bahan hansti hai apne dil mein kahti hai

ye kaisi baat bhai ne kahi dekho wo amman aur abba ko hansi aai
magar yun waqt bahta hai tamasha ban gaya sahil

mujhe sahil nahin milta
simaT kar kis liye nuqta nahin banti zamin kah do

ye kaisa pher hai taqdir ka ye pher to shayad nahin lekin
ye phaila aasman us waqt kyun dil ko lubhata hai

hayat-e-muKHtasar sab ki bahi jati hai aur main bhi
har ek ko dekhta hun muskuraata hai ki hansta hai

koi hansta nazar aae koi rota nazar aae
main sab ko dekhta hun dekh kar KHamosh rahta hun

mujhe sahil nahin milta!
