Shabana

ye aae din ke hangame

ye jab dekho safar karna

yahan jaana wahan jaana

ise milna use milna

hamare sare lamhe

aise lagte hain

ki jaise train ke chalne se pahle

railway-station par

jaldi jaldi apne Dabbe DhunDte

koi musafir hon

jinhen kab sans bhi lene ki mohlat hai

kabhi lagta hai

tum ko mujh se mujh ko tum se milne ka

KHayal aae

kahan itni bhi fursat hai

magar jab sang-dil duniya mera dil toDti hai to

koi ummid chalte chalte

jab munh moDti hai to

kabhi koi KHushi ka phul

jab is dil mein khilta hai

kabhi jab mujh ko apne zehn se

koi KHayal inam milta hai

kabhi jab ek tamanna puri hone se

ye dil KHali sa hota hai

kabhi jab dard aa ke palkon pe moti pirota hai

to ye ehsas hota hai

KHushi ho gham ho hairat ho

koi jazba ho

is mein jab kahin ek moD aae to

wahan pal bhar ko

sari duniya pichhe chhuT jati hai

wahan pal bhar ko

is kaTh-putli jaisi zindagi ki

Dori TuT jati hai

mujhe us moD par

bas ek tumhaari hi zarurat hai

magar ye zindagi ki KHubsurat ek haqiqat hai

ki meri rah mein jab aisa koi moD aaya hai

to har us moD par main ne

tumhein ham-rah paya hai
