Aankhon Mein

Inn andekhi raaho pe mil gayi thi nazren,

Uss chup si aandhi mein bhi ho gayi hazaron baatein,

Nigaho mein behti hui dil ki awaazein,

Uss udasi mein ubhar kar bhi muskurahat si laayi,

Andhero mein faasle bayaan ho gaye,

Tere chehre ki ronak se ek nayi subeh ho gayi,

Raasta chalta gaya, kabhi upar, kabhi niche,

Lete gaya voh apne mod par tha ek saath,

Mudna nahi tha har pal se, bhulna nahi tha kisi lamhe ko,

Bass karna tha paar har toofan ko,

Hasna tha, khilkhilana tha, jeena tha zindagi ko,

Raat ke uss daravne sapne mein bhi chaa gayi ek umang,

Haathon ki lakire jab keh gayi apni daastan,

Shabd na bayan kar sake voh kahani,

Dil hai sehma sa, mann hai chupa sa,

Aur bass aankhon mein hi ho jaati hai har baat.
