Disappointment.

Dost toh hain kai yahan,
Par ek sacche sathi ki aas hai.
Kehne ko bheed hai aas-paas,
Par safar mein ek raahi ki talash hai.
Jeevan ke is katin safar mein,
Bas ek sacche rishte ki pyas hai.
Matlab se bhari is duniya mein,
Har shakhs dhoondhta swarth hai.
Dosti ke in jhoothe naamon ka,
Bina arth kya kaam hai?
Jab poora na ho inka maqsad,
Toh rishta kamjor hona bhi aam hai.
"Tum kisi kaam ke nahi rahe,"
Ye keh kar har koi aage badh jata hai.
Yeh duniya agar hai matlabi,
Toh kyu na banu me vaisa hi?
Agar burai hai har jagah hi
Toh main bhi kyu achha banu?
Fir dar-dar par milti hai thokar,
Zakhm pe zakhm hote hai.
Toot kar dil aakhir yahi kehta hai,
Kyun na hum bhi khudgarz ho jaate hain.
Par pyar se koi jab maange kuch,
Toh hum inkaar nahi kar paate.
Sabki madad karke bhi aakhir,
Kyun hum hi murkh kehlaate?
Ab samajh mein aane laga hai mujhe,
Kaun yahan hai aur kab tak.
Jisko jitna matlab hai,
Wo sath chalega bas tab tak.
Kaam nikalte hi sab, anjaan dikhayi dete hai,
Bas yaadein dil mein rehti hai,
Aur fir mujhse kuchh kehti jai-
Bas dhyan do apne aap par.
Aur khud ke safar ko saadho tum.
Doosron se umeed na lagao,
Is jhoothi aas ko tyaago tum.
Khush rehne ka bas ek mantra hai,
Har umeed ka daaman chhod do.
Zaroorat ho agar kisi sahare ki,
Toh 'kal ke khud' se naata jod lo.
Duniya mein fareb hai bahut yahan,
thoda sambhal kar chalna tum.
Safar abhi lamba hai magar.
Gumnaam banke rehna tum.
