Khushk aankhon me kai bar jhalak jati hai

Khushk aankhon me kai bar jhalak jati hai,
Kushi milte hi aankho se tapak jati hai,
Ghamo ke daur me na pucho kabhi halat iski,
khamoshion me bhi ye saaf nazar aati hai.

Kabhi mehfil to kabhi tanhai me chhup ke,
Kabhi chaman to kabhi baghon me ruk ke,
Jab kabhi apno ki yaad sataati hai,
Motiyan ban ke pal bhar me bikhar jati hai.

Umar ka koi ta-alluk nahi darmiyan is ke,
Kabhi koqa to kabhi dastur ye nibhati hai,
Bagher iske to zindagi bhi adhuri hai shayed,
Kabhi apne to kabhi gairo ka ehsas dilati hai.

Khushk aankhon me kai bar jhalak jati hai,
Kushi milte hi aankho se tapak jati hai
