Baithi ek din kalam leke
Chahti thi likhna kuch
Sochati rahi ki kya likhun
Chand shabd likhe hi the
Aur waqt guzar gaya
Duniya se bekhabar
Hazaron raston ke beech
Lagi pahchanane apni rah
Kuch kadam badaye hi the us oor
Aur waqt guzar gaya
Kuch Kadam tay kar
Aage kahin aayi thi
Dekha do pal ruk ker peeche
Sathi kuch chhod aayi thi
Aage hath badane ko hi thi
Aur waqt guzar gaya
Ek din yun hi chalte chalte
Dikha tha dhundhla sa kuch
Paas jaker uthaya usse
Dekhker zara muskurayi hi thi
Aur waqt guzar gaya…..
Kaano main kuch aahat aayi thi
Yaadon ki parchayi lahrayi thi
Vo chai ki chusakiyan
Dosto ke sath hasi thitholiyan
Awazain thi kal ke galiyaron ki
Ye samajhane hi lagi thi
Aur waqt guzar gaya
Phir ab kyon meri ye aankhe nam hain
Kya mujhko ab gam hai
Puchha main jab khud se
Sannata tha bas aur chuuppi thi
Aur haan ek dard bhi tha anjana sa
Jo baitha tha chupker sabse
Maine di dastak aur pucha phir se
To dheere se bola
Yun hi Guzar gaya waqt
Aur jo Guzar raha hai us per na mera bas
Phir aayega kal
Koi puchhega phir se
Phir se honge sannate
Phir vo anjane ke sath sair sapate
Sannaton ki gunje hongi
Phir khud se ye baatain hongi
Ki……..
Aur yun waqt guzar gaya
