Khwab Ka Khoya Kal
Raat ke seene mein
jab khamoshi utarti hai
meri aankhon ke parde par
ek duniya guzarti hai
Ek duniya
jahan adhure raaste manzil ban jaate hain
jahan bichhde hue pal
phir se mil jaate hain
jahan jin cheezon ko paane se
main darta hoon
woh bina maange mil jaate hain
Main dekhta hoon
aur muskuraata hoon
Phir ek sawaal
meri rooh ke darwaaze par dastak deta hai
Jo tu dekh raha hai
kya woh kal hai
Ya bas aaj ki tanhaayi ka
ek khoobsurat sawaal hai
Main khud se kehta hoon
shayad ye khwab nahi
shayad waqt ne
mera mustaqbil chhupakar
meri neend mein rakh diya hai
Magar phir dil ke kisi kone se
ek darr uthta hai
Agar ye sab jhooth hua toh
Agar woh chehre
sirf meri yaadon ke rang hain
Agar woh manzilein
sirf meri umeed ke dhang hain
Agar jo khushi maine mehsoos ki
woh haqeeqat nahi
bas mere zehan ki
ek meherbaani thi
Kya pata
Khuda ne nahi
meri tanhaayi ne
ye khwab likhe hon
Kya pata
mera dil thak gaya ho
har roz haqeeqat se ladte ladte
isliye usne neend mein
ek aisi duniya bana di
jahan mujhe kuch khona na pade
Kya pata
khwab haqeeqat ka vaada nahi
bas umeed ka ek bahaana ho
Ek chhota sa diya
jo andheri raat mein
sirf itna kehta hai
Subah abhi baaki hai
Aur ajeeb baat ye hai
Mujhe pata nahi
mera khwab sach hoga ya nahi
phir bhi main usse
sach ki tarah chahta hoon
Mujhe pata nahi
woh kal mera hoga ya nahi
phir bhi aaj
main uske naam se muskuraata hoon
Shayad isi ko umeed kehte hain
Jahan yakeen aadha ho
magar khwahish poori
Jahan raasta dhundhla ho
magar nazar zaroori
Aur subah
Subah jab aankhein khulti hain
toh khwab toot'ta nahi
bas uski duniya
meri aankhon se nikal kar
meri chaal mein aa jaati hai
Phir main sochta hoon
Agar woh sirf khwab tha
toh itna khoobsurat kyun tha
Agar woh kabhi hona hi nahi
toh dil ne use
itni shiddat se chaha kyun tha
Shayad jawab
khwab ke andar nahi
mere andar tha
Ki insaan wahi toh sapne dekhta hai
jiski taraf uska dil
abhi chalna chahta hai
Toh ab main ye nahi poochunga
Kya mera khwab sach hoga
Main bas itna poochunga
Kya main us khwab tak
pahunchne ki koshish karunga
Kyunki ho sakta hai
kismat ne abhi kuch likha hi na ho
ho sakta hai
kahaani ka aakhri panna khaali ho
Aur agar khaali hai
Toh likhenge
Agar raasta nahi hai
Toh chalenge
Agar manzil door hai
Toh kya
Khwaab bhi toh kabhi
ek pal mein nahi bante
Aur agar aakhir mein
ye sab sirf ek khwab hi nikla
Toh bhi koi gham nahi
Kyunki ek raat
meri aankhon ne mujhe
woh duniya dikha di thi
jahan main khush tha
Aur shayad
Kuch khwab haqeeqat banne ke liye nahi
humein haqeeqat badalne ki himmat dene ke liye aate hain
Isliye aaj raat
phir aankhein band karunga
Phir wahi aas rakhunga
Phir wahi khwab dekhunga
Na isliye ki mujhe yakeen hai
ki woh kal sach hoga
balki isliye
ki mujhe yakeen hai
ki khwab dekhne wala dil
abhi zinda hai
Aur jab tak woh zinda hai
raat kitni bhi gehri ho
subah ka khwab
mar nahi sakta
Kya pata
jo aaj meri aankhon mein khwab hai
kal meri aankhon ke saamne haqeeqat ho
Kya pata
jo aaj sirf umeed hai
kal wahi meri kahaani ho
