ek chiriya !!

Dil kii kya sune, woh tho kehta rehta hai
bahut se raang sajyee thee, par ab sab phikha hai
is raat ki subaah nahi, kabhi kabhi sochte hai hum
aur din ke ujalee mei, saare gum pee le thee hai hum

suraj ki kirne jab naya din lathi hai
hum muskuratee huae, ek naya kadam barhate hai
dil mei himaath hai, hatho mei hai kalam
phir kyo aaksar kuch soch kar, jhulas jatee hai hum

samundar ka thoofan bhi, aab shaant lagtaa hai
tapti dhoop mei jalkar bhi, thandi kirno ka aehsas hota hai
rokh na payengee aab yeh kadam, koi aandhi ya thoofan
dard hai jo seene mei, vahi dega es chiriya ko ek nayee pehchan

daar nahi lagtaa, aab kisi bhi baat sei
na taptee din se, na kali raat sei
aagar dil saacha hai, tho hum mantee hai
ek din naye raang ki subah hogi, yeh hum jantee hai

saree rishtee toot gaye, chup rahee hum
door se ek koone mei kharee rehkar, shaant, dekhtee rahee hum
pankh pehlayeegee yeh chiriya, khulee aasman mei, urdne kei liye
aur ek din urdh jayeegii, is rangeen duniya mei, jeene ke liye !!
