ek awaara khayal

do aankhen hain, jo muddat se soyee nahin
ek aarzoo hai, jo aangan mein jhoolti rehti hai
ek dhadhkan...kabhi machalti hai to kabhi sehami si thehar jaati hai
har pal, yunhi ckokhat pe intezaar karta hai tera

...pattiyon ki sarsaraahat mein
teri bheeni si mehak chupaa rakhi hai
apne baalon mein tere choone ka ehsaas,
aaj bhi banaa rakha hai
ek khwaab hai, jisse intekhaab hai tera
ek haath hai, jo aaj bhi tere haath ko thaame hai

ek muskuraahat, jo labon pe thehri hai
ek ummeed, jo dil ki dhadhkan ko baandhe hai
ab isse mohabbat kehlo, ya phir, mera
ek awaara khayaal...

ek khayal

Ek khayal jo har pal mere saath chalta hai
Meri tasveeron mein kabhi rang ban kar ubharta hai
Kabhi mere geeton mein alfaaz ban jaata hai
Mere hothon par hansi ban khilta hai
Kabhi meri aankhon mein namin ban kar behne lagta hai
Phir sajde mein dua ban kar thehar jaata hai
Ek khayal jo har pal mere saath chalta hai

Meri zindagi mein mera kaam ban kar
Mere hathon mein lakiren ban kar dikhta hai
Woh khayal jo sahar hone par sooraj ki kirnon saa
Aur raat dhalne par chaand ki chandni saa chamakta hai
Ek khayal jo har pal mere saath chalta hai

Sarhak kinare bachche ki bolti aankhon se jhankta hai
Pattiyon ki sarsarahat ban kar kuch keh jaata hai
Phoolon mein khushboo ban kar
Berang raaston ko mehkaata hai

Ek khayaal jo har pal mere saath chalta hai…
