Neend
Neend aayegi kaise, Khwaab se bhi ab darr lagta hai, Ek aayeena hai saamne bhi, Aur haqeeqat se bhi darr lagta hai... Jo baat kahi nahin kabhi, Uss baat ka afsos hai kyun, Lamha lamha kare bewaffai, Ae dil tu maayoos hai kyun... Naam tera hai saans saans par, Khushbu ka wajood liye ab bhi, Ab kya ummeed main rakhun, Bandh ho gaye darwaaze sabhi... Roshni ka suraag nahin, Andheron se ghabraata hai dil, Sab jaanta pehchaanta hai, Phir bhi kyun baaton mein aata hai dil... Phir aa gayi laut kar, Yeh lambi raat mere kareeb, Phir aa gayi kharonchne, Khayaalon ke woh zakhm... Apni hi neend ki fariyaad ab, Karne lage khuda se hum, Kuch armaan nahin waise, Kuch khaffa bhi khuda se hum... Uddne ka na socha thha kabhi, Zameen par paanv rakhe thhe, Na jaane kab meri zameen bhi, Meri hi parchaayi se paraayi ho gayi... Neend neend ka dosh hai saara, Tumhe chain ki, Mujhe naam ki, Tumhe khwaabon bhari, Meri khayaalon se dari dari si, Par ek sukoon
