Chalakiya:

Arz kiya hai:

Thodi si chalakiya mujhe bhi sikha de ai Zindagi,
Har qadam pe masoomiyat ab bojh si lag rahi hai.

Log muskurate hai lekin irade kuch aur rakhte hai,
Har nazar ki meherbani bhi ab mehngi padh rahi hai.

Sach bolne ki aadat ne kitni baar rulaya hai,
Jhooth ki mandiyon me hamari qeemat gir si rahi hai.

Humne to har rishte ko samajh kar nibhaya tha,
Par log faayde ke hisaab se hi milte jaa rahe hai.

Dil me bharosa rakha, lekin woh bhi toot gaya,
Waqt ki gardish me apne hi begane ban gaye hai.

Yaadon ka ek bojh hai jo roz saans rokta hai,
Aur khud se bhi milne ki himmat kam pad rahi hai.

Khud ko badalne ka iraada to roz hota hai,
Par be-gunah dil phir waisa ka waisa reh jaata hai.

Is daur me saaf-dil rehna beshaq ajeeb si baat hai,
Yahan haathon me teer hi teer hai, gale milkar bhi chubh jaate hai.

Thodi si chalakiya mujhe bhi sikha de ai Zindagi,
Yeh seedha dil to har dafa hi saza bhugat rahi hai…

Meri fitrat hi sachchai ka diya lekar chalta hu,
Isi wajah se mai is daur me aksar be-qasoor hokar bhi saza bhugat raha hu…
