Shahr Ke Ek Kushada Ghar Mein
shahr ke ek kushada ghar mein
apne apne kaam sambhaale
main aur ek meri tanhai
hum donon mil kar rahte hain
baaten karte rote hanste
har dukh-sukh sahte rahte hain
aaj ki jab suraj bhi nahin tha
phulon ke khilne ka ye mausam bhi nahin tha
aur falak par chand ke chha jaane ka hafta bit chuka tha
darwaze ki ghanTi ne wo shor machaya
jis se pura ghar tharraya
hum donon hairan hue ki aisa rahi kaun ruka hai
jo is ghar ko apna ghar hi samajh raha hai
khiDki se bahar jhanka to bas ek KHwab sa manzar dekha
suraj bhi dahliz pe tha
aur chand kiwaD ki oT se lipTa jhank raha tha
phul khile the
hum ne is mehman ko sar aankhon pe biThaya
dil mein jagah di
jo apne ham-rah sabhi mausam le aaya
thaki hui tanhai ne mujh se
thoDi der ko mohlat mangi
main ne us ko chhuTTi de di
sath mein ye takid bhi kar di
dekho kal tum apne kaam pe jaldi aana
bhul na jaana
ye rahi jo sare mausam le aate hain
in ke raste sari duniya mein jate hain
jis aangan mein chalna sikhen
us aangan mein ruk nahin pate
ruk jaen to thak jate hain
