Ab Chah Hai Ki....

​
Thanks to my sister-in-law, Farzana, and my friend, Patricia.
​
Aankhon se dariya bahaa hai, koi bhi katra baaki nahi,
Khwabon ke dar par hain taale, kisi ke paas chaabi nahi.
Manzar kuch esa hai saamne ki aankh kholne se darta hun,
Ik dard bharaa dil pahle se hai, dard isme aur bharta hun.
Ab chah hai ki jaisa pahle tha, sab waisa hi ho jaye,
Ya jo saalo se dhadak rahaa hai, dil ye mera so jaye.
 
Mahino se apne apno se, gale nahi mile hai,
Ye khuda jiska bhi hai, iske ajeeb silsile hai.
Man kar rahaa hai mera ab ki nikaal dun dil seene se,
Khuda ye teri marzi hai to, kya faayada tere jeene se.
Ab chah hai ki ye waqt, ek saal pichhe ho jaye,
Ya jo seene me dhadak rahaa hai, dil ye mera so jaye.
 
Ye lambi raat gujaar kar, sahar ko bulaa lenge,
Ye hawa jo thahar gayi hai, ise bhi chalaa denge.
Mil-julkar rahte the jaise hum, ve din fir se aayenge,
Na hoga chehre par mask aur khulke hum muskurayenge.
Ab chah hai ki khushiyon kee, baarish fir se ho jaye,
Ya jo saalo se dhadak rahaa hai, dil ye mera so jaye.
