dekho darakht kaaTne se pahle ek baar — Dinesh Kumar

dekho to kaam ek bhi ham ne kahaan kiyaa
puchho to ek pal ki bhi fursat nahin rahi

mujh ko saphaltaa baiThe biThaae nahin mili
main ne guhar talaashe hain dariyaa khangaal kar

maraasim barf mein dabne na paaein
qarib aao december aa rahaa hai

kar ke taarif vo miri jhuTi
zahr dhimaa chaTaa gayaa hai mujhe

haaT pe kyaa biktaa thaa ham ko kyaa matlab
apni jeb mein bas khvaabon ke sikke the

shaairi naam tasavvur mein chhalakti mai kaa
mar hi jaate jo na piine ki ijaazat hoti
