Kyo ?

kyo aaisa hota hai, dil simat sa jaata hai
yaad karke un paloo ko, jo sirf hame rulaata hai
kyo nahi hum bhulte, woh sunheree kale raat din
dekhtee rehtee hai, aasman ko, shant, taro ke bin

ek ek aasu jab, nambh aakh se tapaktha hai
dheere dheere sarakhtee hue, mere galo se guzartha hai
sochti hu main, gum sum, ek kone main baithee hue
kya tumhe bhi mere is dard ka aehsaas hota hai?

yeh sirf meri kalpana hai, hakikat kuch aur hai
sirf is taraf aandhera hai, baki sab taraf savera hai
yeh bhi mera naseeb hai, bure waqt ki maar hai
yahi tho duniya hai, charoo taraf sachaiyii ki har hai

beet-thee hue waqt ke saath, yeh aasu bhi tham jayeenge
in do haatho se hum, nayi raah baneyngee
par yaad rehngee, yeh saree din, yeh sarii raatee
jo diye hai mujhe is waqt ne, woh saree tu-tee hue rishtee naatee
