Original Submission by Kumkum Sharma

Khud Se Mohabbat

Bheegi hui aankhon ko,

Pyaar se pochha hai.

Pehli baar maine,

Bas khud ka socha hai.

Raste bhatak gaye the,

Auron ko paane mein.

Kitna waqt lag gaya,

Apne paas aane mein.

Toote hue tukdon ko,

Aahista se sameta hai.

Aaine ne aaj mujhe,

Ghar jaisa dekha hai.

Koi shikayat nahi ab,

Na koi malal hai.

Khamoshi mein meri,

Mera hi khayal hai.

Khud ka haath thaam kar,

Nikal padi hoon main.

Koyla thi kabhi,

Aaj heera bani hoon main.

~ Kumkum Sharma
