Purana saamaan

Humne wo purani lakdi ki almari aakhir aaj fir se khol hi di...
Puraane daraaj mein kuch adhoore sapne padhe mile...
Kuch kasmein padhi mili, kuch waade padhe mile..

Deemak lag gyi thi unko...
Socha nikaal k dekhu..
Shayad aaj bhi koi sapna zinda ho..

Bohot dhoonda, bohot chhanta... lekin kuch hath nhi lga...
Socha k kyu na inhe baahar nikaal k safai kr du..
Kyu na zindgi mein kuch nye rang hi bhar du..

Uthaya bhi, lekin fir hath na jaane kyu ruk se gye...
Teri ek adhoori tasveer pe nazar padhi..
Dulhan k libaaz mein, usi maasoom muskurahat k sath..
Shayad ye tasveer maine un khwabo mein banayi thi..

Ek kasam utha k dekhi toh chubh si gyi..
Dard hua, khoon bhi baha...
Kehti thi ke tumhara sath nhi chhodungi..

Ab toh maine bhi in kasmo ko dekhna, uthana, aur fir sambhal k rakhna seekh liya hai...
Chutti ka din tha, socha us pal ko bhi yaad kr lu, jab main zinda tha...
