aaine mein hai phir vahi surat — Bakul Dev

muskuraane kaa fan to baa'd kaa hai
pahle saaat kaa intikhaab karo

vahi aansu vahi maazi ke qisse
jise dekho kaTe ko kaaTtaa hai

havas shaamil hai thoDi si duaa mein
abhi is lau mein halkaa saa dhuaan hai

shaam utri hai phir ahaate mein
jism par raushni ke ghaav liye

taalluq tark to kar lein sabhi se
bhale lagte hain kuchh nuqsaan lekin

samundar hai koi aankhon mein shaayad
kinaaron par chamakte hain guhar se

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
