Tum Bhi Dekho Humein

Kabhi tum bhi dekho humein, jaise hum tumhe dekhte hain,
Aaine ke aage aajkal thoda jyada thahrte hain.
 
Tum, jis gali ke mehmaan bankar gujarte ho,
Us gali ke ghar teri khushboo se mahkte hain.
 
Ye kaisa jadoo hai tere kadmo ki aahat mein,
Ki jana hai kahin aur humein, par teri aur hi chalte hain.
 
Ahsas nahi hota humein tere peechhe chalne par,
Ki kahan thokar khate hain, aur kahan hum sambhalte hain.
 
Tu samne hai aur kahne ko hai sirf ek baat,
Par kabhi kaanpte hain to kabhi alfazo me uljhte hain.
 
Haan, fark to hai tere aur mere darmiyaan,
Ki tum chaand bankar chamkte ho, hum taaro jaise tut-te hain.
 
Ab nahi jante ‘Shaikh’ ki kahani ka ant kaise kare,
Kyunki tum humein waise dekhte nahi, jaise hum tumhe dekhte hain.
