Garaz:

Arz kiya hai…

Rukhe Zindagi ki garaz sahi chal rahi thi,
Apni aur apno ki nazro hasad se khauf-e-zawaal ho gaye…

Har muskurahat pe saaye gham ke chhaye,
Har khushi pe aansuon ke rang chhup gaye…

Rishton ke dor kabhi majboot, kabhi kamzor hue,
Jispe bharosa tha, wahi raaz-e-dil tut gaye…

Khud se bhi dooriyon ka saaz baja,
Aur khwabon ki galiyon me tanhaayi ke raaz khule…

Zakhmon ke gehre rang ne chehre se roshni churayi,
Aur har saans me purani yaadon ki khushboo samayi…

Phir bhi dil ne na haar maani,
Raat ke andheron me bhi ujale ke khwaab sanjaye…

Har mod pe dard ka saathi tha,
Par umeed ke phool bhi chhupke se khilte rahe…

Waqt ke tufanon ne kabhi hila diya,
Par jazbaat ki neev ko kabhi girne na diya…

Aur ye Zindagi, rukhe modon ke bawajood,
Apni raahon me chhupte hue noor ke intezaar me chalti rahi…

Har aansoo ne seekh di, har gham ne sikhaaya,
Ke jo toot jaaye, wahi naye rang me jagmagaata hai…

Aur phir ek din, khud se hi muskaraate hue,
Zindagi ne apni khud ki kahani likhi, aur khud se pyaar ho gaya…
