Tute Hue Kaach:

Arz kiya hai…

Tute hue kaach ki tarah chakna chur ho gaye hai,
Kisiko chub na jaye isliye sab se dur ho gaye hai.

Akad se bhi khatam ho jate hai rishte,
Har baar kasoor galtiyo ka nahi hota.

Khud se hi chhup jaate hai, khud ko sambhalte hai,
Par dard ke ye tukde, dil ke kareeb hi reh gaye hai.

Har muskaan ke peeche chhupi hai ek kahani,
Jo kabhi kahi, bas humse chhup ho gaye hai.

Zindagi ke raaste, tanhaai ke saaye,
Jo hum chune, vohi aksar tut gaye hai.

Rishtey the ya sirf yaadein reh gayi,
Har ek mulaqat, bas yaadon mein durr ho gaye hai.

Dil se dil tak raasta jo kabhi saaf tha,
Ab khamoshi ke samundar mein doob gaye hai.

Par phir bhi umeed ka ek chirag jalta hai,
Tute hue kaach bhi kabhi roshni mein ubhar gaye hai.

Tute hue kaach ke tukde bhi kabhi roshan ho jaate hai,
Dard ke saaye me bhi dil ke armaan saj jaate hai.
