Khwahishein.

Khwahishein

Dil ki khwahishein

khamosh ho gayi,

Jab in titliyon ko

udne na mila.

Jee na paye ye

asli zindagi,

jab inko sadhi

zindagi na mila.

Khwahishein hongi

aapki bohat,

lekin inke samne

kuch v nahi. 

Udna tha in parindon ko

aasman mein,

lekin udd na paye

ye kavi,

Kyonki in masoomon

ko par na mile.

Aakhon k aansu

mano ruke hi nahi,

jab in sitaron ko

chamak na mila. 

Bas ek nazar phero

in sitaron pe,

Bas ek hasi dedo

inke hothon pe,

Bas ek baar jeene

do inko,

Jeene do bas ek

sidhi sadhi

zindagi.
