Maaf kar de, yaar …

Maafi maine duniya se nahi,
sirf khud se mangna hai.
Kaash waqt rehte
haqeeqat ka chehra dekh liya hota,
toh shayad rooh ko
itne zakhm na sehne padte.

Maaf kar
ki main insaanon ko
unki niyat se nahi,
unke lafzon se tolta raha.

Jis shakhs ko mohabbat samjha,
usne meri zindagi ko
sirf ek sauda samjha.
Main khud ko sonar,
aur usse, ek anmol jauhar
samajh baitha ..

Laga tha
humari bhi taqdeer badal gayi.
Ki humein bhi
Kohinoor jaisa
koi heera mil gaya.

Par sach ki roshni padi,
toh samajh aaya
jise heera samajh kar
koyle ki khadan se
dhoondh nikala tha ..

woh heere ke bhes mein
sirf kaanch nikla.
