Aur yun waqt guzar gaya.....

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.
