kabhi sooraj bechara bhool jaaye savera

zindagi mein hosh sambhale to aapne aap se pucha,
ki yeh kya bala hai aur kyun nahi aisa dooja?
tab se hi aaj tak main sooraj se poochta hoon,

ki aap hi jag ko roshni kyun dikhate hain,
aur phir kyun aap kuch der chup jaate hain?

kyun dharti par bhi aapka raaj hai?
jab ki aap dharti ko chu bhi nahin paate hain?

iss par sooraj muskura kar bola,
ki dharti hai shabnam aur main uska shola!

hifazat tumhari main aise karta hoon,
ki chand ko bhi wafai ka paigam main hi bharta hoon,

kuch der hi sahi par yeh usool hai mera,
ki bechara chaand na reh jaaye bilkul akela!

chand ko bhi hak hai ki aapni chaandni woh dikhaye,
aur dharti ke aalam pe aapne daag woh chipaye,

tabhi sooraj aur main tanhai mein milte hain,
ki kabhi woh bhi bechara bhool jaaye savera.
