Ek Dor Ki Khani

Ek sira dor ka maine thama tha,
Duja sira usne kass k padka tha,

kichti thi kabhi, to kabhi dheeli padh jati,
Par na tootati thi na girti thi yeh dor,

Bina alfaazo ke mai uska hale-e-dil jaan leta tha,
Mere zakhm bhi uske do lawzo ko marham maan lete thae,

Do siro k darmiyan yeh fasla ek dushwari thi,
Har waqt is dor ko challa (ring) banane ki bekarari thi,

Intezar tha unke sang is jeevan ki dagar pe mil jane ka,

Zindagi ke utaar chadhaav ko haste khelte paar kar jaane ka,

Par Shayad uljhe thae vo zindagi ki kisi kashmakash mai,
Mitaane yeh fasla, karne yeh intezaar khatm, mai chalta raha unki taraf kadam dar kadam

Par manzil pe vo nahi thame hue thae is dor ka sira,
khoonthi se bandh ke yeh dor, vo thame the kisi aaur dor ka sira,

Aanko mai aansu, dil pe patthar rakh ke,
Duja sira band diya tha maine bhi uski khonti pe, 

Chal pada hu fir zindagi ki is dagar pe,
Aate-jate rahenge kai mod, 

par na jaane fir kabhi ulajh payegi in ungaliyo pe koi dor ||
