Naa koi surror hai,aur naa kisi baat ka guroor hai
phir kyon jane kaisa hamare sar par ye fitoor hai.
Hum puchte chale Aaye pata musafir Khana ka,
wahan pahunche jo hum to dekha humne kya gazab tha,
badi der lagi janne mein par naa koi wahan musafir tha.
Aur yunn band aankho se dekhna chaha tha humne zamane ki rounaq ko,
par afsos! jo khuli aankh to dekha ke ye sirf hamare khawab Ka ek noor tha.
Raah guzar to hum pehli bhi the iss rah ke par yunn sannata na huwa karta tha,
do char kadam hi jo chal liya karte the,
to har begana bhi aapna huwa karta tha.
Aur yunn to khamoshi ekhtiyar karna pasand hame,
par Jo samne se Kisi ke guzar jaye to tham kar wahan do bol bolna padta tha!
Ek shauq tha hame bhi muskurane ka,
Kisi mehfil ko sajane ka.!
Par afsos......
Samne khade sab apne the, par kahan pata tha....
apno ki mehfil bas gairon Ka thikana tha.
Aason to sirf bahana tha,
Manzil jo pana tha!
Aur pata tha hame....
Musafir ban yunn chalna naa raas aata hame,
Issliye to hamne rah ko hi apna thikana batana tha...
Yunn to bante hai log musafir pane ko manzil,
Hame bss manzil-e-musafir hi ban jana tha.
