bas intezar hai yahan

kisko dhundhe hain aankhein meri
bas tanhahiya hai yahan,
dikhte hain chehare nahi
bas parchahiyan hai yahan, 

door tak na koi shor hai
bas sannate hain faile hue,
na koi lamha hai na koi pal hai
bas intezar hai yahan. 

din ke ujjale mein dekhun jo
nazar aati hai kuch tasveerin yahan, 
kuch to hai magar phir bhi
rehati hai khamoshiyan yahan.

haste huye chehare to hain
par udasiyan hai yahan, 
waqt gujarta jata hai har pal
phir bhi thehra hua sa hai yeh shama.

aankhon mein sapne zinda
dil mein yaadein jawan,
poochte hain khud yeh humse
aa gaye yeh hum kahan?
