buraai karnaa 'aadat mein nahin hai — Karan Bedi

ham se pahle bhi the is raah pe chalne vaale
ab yahi soch ke rukte hain yahaan dusre log

sab bechne mein hi lage hain kuchh na kuchh yahaan
duniyaa dikhaai deti hai baazaar ki tarah

har ek shakhs mein us ko talaashtaa huun main
vo mujh ko apnaa talabgaar kar ke chhoD gayaa

kulhaaDi pair pe apne hi maar lete hain
shajar ko kaaT ke saayaa talaash karte hain

taa-'umr mujh ko koi sahaaraa na mil sakaa
aansu nikal paDe hain 'azaadaar dekh kar

mujh ko lagaa vo sun rahaa hai ghaur se magar
baiThaa huaa thaa saamne divaar ki tarah
