Zara Si Baat

zindagi ke maile mein KHwahishon ke rele mein

tum se kya kahen jaanan is qadar jhamele mein

waqt ki rawani hai baKHt ki girani hai

saKHt be-zamini hai saKHt la-makani hai

hijr ke samundar mein

taKHt aur taKHte ki ek hi kahani hai

tum ko jo sunani hai

baat go zara si hai

baat umr-bhar ki hai

umr-bhar ki baaten kab do-ghaDi mein hoti hain

dard ke samundar mein

an-ginat jazire hain be-shumar moti hain

aankh ke dariche mein tum ne jo sajaya tha

baat us diye ki hai

baat us gile ki hai

jo lahu ki KHalwat mein chor ban ke aata hai

lafz ki fasilon par TuT TuT jata hai

zindagi se lambi hai baat ratjage ki hai

raste mein kaise ho

baat taKHliye ki hai

taKHliye ki baaton mein guftugu izafi hai

pyar karne walon ko ek nigah kafi hai

ho sake to sun jao ek rose akele mein

tum se kya kahen jaanan is qadar jhamele hain
