Zindagi ki rail mein

By Tania Mite

Zindagi ki is rail mein

yaadon se joode in dibbon mein

kayi saare log mile

kayi saari kahaniyan buni

Kuch shaamein AC ki thandi sukoon

kuch raatein sleeper ki garmi mein biti

Kuch 1st class ki khamoshi mein

kuch general class ke gapshap mein biti

Tasavvur se bhari station pe

kayi martaba ishq ko dekha

Zindagi ne lekin e galib

har baar hari jhandi dikha dala

Apno se bhichde kabhi to

anjaan raahi apne bane

Do roti khushi ke baante

do cup gam ki chai saath pee li

Bagal baithe toote aashiq se kabhi

mohabbat ke afsaane sune

To umar ki dehliz pe khadi amma se

shehat ke kuch nukse mile

Nakamiyon ki kharraton ne kabhi

raat bhar sone nahin diya

Wahin hoslon ki khilkhilahat ne

din bhar hoton pe muskaan bhar di

Koi armaanon ke gubbarein bechne aaya

to koi haqeeqat ke baddua taali de gya

Tajurba se bhari is jeb mein bhala

do khote sikke bhi na reh gaya

Jaane humein waise maut tak hi hai

par manjil ki fikr kyun kare ab

Bas ek khidki wali seat mil jaaye

zindagi se bas itni khwaaish hai
