KYUN...

itni ghutan kyu hai?

ye chubhan kyu hai?

kehne ko sb apne

toh ye khalipan kyu hai?

na khushi, na dukh-dard baantne

sab aate hain, bs marz baantne

aag lga kr puchte hain

ye jalan kyu hain!

jaagte hain raat bhar

savere ke intezar mein 

toh saveron mein 

itna bharipan kyu hai!

kabhi sookhe hain dariya is kadar

jaise aas toh nhi pr saans bhi na baki ho

kabhi thamta na samandar jo

dhadkan kyu hai!

puchte hain sb, batate hain

mukammal na ishq ik tarfa...KYUN?!

khuda se bhi pucha hai kya

ye ibadat ka itna chalan kyu hai.

har aaj mein shamil kal kyun hai?

aaj ki khushi mein beete gumm kyu hain?

hujoom lga hai beete waqt ka

labon pe hasi pr aankhein nam kyun hai!

chuppi mein itna shor kyun hai?

nazron ka rukh ik oar kyun hai?

bheed mein past ye haunsle,

tanhaiyon mein itne prabal kyun hai?

ujaale ye din... mrigtrishna.

ujle ye chehre..mrigtrishna.

ek umr kati jab daudte, jane fir

ki raen kyu basera, aur

din marusthal kyun hai!

raston mein chalte dhuul udate

malhaar ke bhuukhe

thak kr jo baithe, tinko mein

muskuraye hi bass...

zamana ye puche bhasam kyun hain!
