Khwahish

Khwahishon ki chaadar odhe, so gya tha mai,

Ki ek mehel apna bhi hoga.

Kuch honge phool bageechon me,

Kuch honge nishan sangmarmar pe.

Kuch baatein hongi hum dono ki,

Kuch yaadein bhi apni hongi.

Mai baithunga jab angan me,

Barsatein bhi meheki hongi.

Hoga alam kuch aisa bhi,

Kuch aisa maine socha tha

par kya pata tha,

ki khwahishein bhi zakhmi hongi.

Tere noor ki khwahish lekar mai,

chala tha zakhmi raahon par,

raftaar yun jo behek gyi,

beheka jo teri baahon par.

Ab zarra zarra zakhmi hai,

khwahish ki kami mitaane ko.

Jo tadap raha hai dil mera,

Khwahish ki khwahish paane ko…

Wo ruhaniyat bhi kya khwahish thi,

jo taabir hui thi khwahish ki…

mai khwahish me khud ko bhool gya,

Wo khwahish thi, begaani si….

Wo inayat thi meri khwahish ki,

Dastoor tha tu uss sawan ka,

Meheka tha angan us shaam magar,

Aur kurbat thi in bagon ki…

So gya tha mai us raat,

Odh kar chadar khahishon ki…
