kuchh is pe sochna tha mashwara bhi karna tha
muamle pe abhi tabsira bhi karna tha

use bhi kahna tha apna khayal rakhne ko
bichhadte waqt mujhe hausla bhi karna tha

kisi ke nam ke din bhi bacha ke rakhne the
aur ek zindagi sa silsila bhi karna tha

wo waqiat bhi dil se mujhe bhulane the
kahin kahin pe raqam saneha bhi karna tha

kahan pe aa ke kadi silsile ki tut gai
kisi se main ne kahin rabta bhi karna tha

usi maqam pe aks apne main ne dafnae
jahan pe nasb mujhe aaina bhi karna tha

abhi to baat ka main kar rahi thi andaza
pahunch ke tah mein mujhe faisla bhi karna tha

nikal ke zindagi jaisi kadi haqiqat se
mujhe to talkh sa ek tajraba bhi karna tha

suni hain us ki abhi tak shikayaten main ne
bayan apna koi masala bhi karna tha

nikalna thi mujhe zindagi bhi mushkil se
mukammal ab ke koi daera bhi karna tha
