DARIYA KA NASEEB

Eik azimo-shaan kohsaar

Ki peshani cheer kar

Jo bahar aayi to

Khud par hi kitna nazan thi.

Wo ithlaati, balkhati, lehrati,

Behti rahi -------

Behti rahi aur sawarti rahi.

Kabhi oochai se gir kar,

Zarra – zarra bikhar gayi,

Phir khud hi se

Apna aap samet liya .

Jo bifar gayi to

Shaher ke shaher tabah kiye.

Aur jo sawar gayi to,

Kai naslon ko sawaar diya.

Na -jaane kitne bachchon ne

Uski khamosh Satah par

Athkheliya ki thi,

Na –jaane kitni doshizaaon ne,

Usme apna aks nihara tha.

Kabhi to do dilon ki

mohhabbat ki wo zamin bani,

Aur kabhi kisi tanha haseenq

Ke aason khud me samet liye

Na – jaane kitni sadiyon se

Na – jaane kitne janmo se,

Wo behti rahi -------

Behti rahi aur bikharti rahi –

Wo bikhar bikhar kar sawarti rahi ----

Aur ------

Akhir eik din usne

Khud ko hi mita daala.

Apne wajood ki mithas ko

Usne namkeen kar daala.
