Mumbai Meri Jaan

By Khan Firdous

Wo kon hai jo mohabbat mein bewafai karte hain,

Humne to ek sheher se bhi aise dil lagaya hai ki kahin aur dil lagta nahi.

Maana waqt nahi yahan logo ke paas,

Magar waqt ne majboor jab bhi kiya hai to samajh aaya ki insaniyat abhi kahin gayi nahi.

Thokrein to deti hai sikhane ke maqsad se,

Magar zakhm to gehre kabhi diye nahi.

Tez baarish mein sadkon par bheegte humne naye dost banaye hain.

 Ghar se door rehne walon ko bhi tanhayi ka ehsas kabhi hua to nahi.

Aankhon mein khwab liye,  kandhon par bojh utha kar bus aur train mein dhakke jo khate hain;

Wo bhi roz nayi wajah dhundte hain jeene ki, magar haar yahan kabhi maante nahi.

Logon ki zarurat nahi padhti yahan sukoon paane ke liye,  

Samundar kinare uski lehron ki shor se zyada bhi hai kya sukoon kahin.

Agar kabhi mujhe yahan se door le jane ka khyal aaye to batana ye zarur, 

Mujhe golgappe aur momos to khila doge kahi bhi lekin kya yahan jaisa vada pav aur pav bhaji hai milta kahin????

Shayad bohot kuch keh diya hain maine magar, hai bohot kuch baki abhi maine abhi sab kuch kaha nahi.
