Darp

Kiye nazro mei qaid tujhe, azaad sadak pe chal nikla

Ab apne raste jata hu, ek manzil nayi banata hu

Wo manzil jisme tu na ho, wo manzil jisme mai hi hu

Wo manzil jiski deewaaro pe rang naya laga hoga, jiske aangan mei phool naye, aur mausam mei bhi narmi hogi

Jaha dharti raat mei roshan ho uss tim tim karte jugnu se, jaha chaand humesha poora ho, pedo pe patte hare bhare

Par phir kyu soona aangan hai, choolho mei itni thankdak kyu

Jaise sadiya beet gayi ho, mujhe paidal chalte chalte yun

Maine socha tha teri yaadei leke aage mai badhta jaunga, nayi manzil ko bas palak jhapak ke apni mutthi mei kar paunga

Na khabar thi ye na ilm hua, tu meri aakhiri manzil thi, tere baad jiya hai jism ye bas, aur maut na mujhko haasil thi

Wo jugnu thay jalte jaate hum dono ki hi takte raah, dekh mujhe akela wo apni hi aag mei bhasam huey

Dulhan si saji wo deewaarei dheh gayi usi aangan mei tab, mausam ne jab khabar ki ye, aa gaya akele wo chhor ke sab

Khwaahish thi bachi bas dharti ki ab, uss raat mei roshan hone ko, maine ghar ko aag laga di phir, koi to yaha poori Khwaahish ho

Ab phir se hu chalta jata, beete uss kal mei qaid huey, azad hai raste kya maloom, le jaye kaha kis ore mujhe
