Akele (Poem)

Rahon me khade hai akele
     Intezaar me kisike
Sapnon me jeete hai wo din
     Deedar ho jab kisike

Khayalon me thama tha haath
     Zindagi ne na apnaya
Ek choti si apni duniya ki chah thi
     Sach to wo bhi na ho paya

Jagte sote ankhon me kuch armaan
     Har pal har lamhe wohi mera jahaan
Keh dete dil ki har chupi dastaan
     Samne unke kambakht ladkhadati zubaan

Himmat jo kar du, ho din ek aisa bhi
     Keh du dil ki baat, har choti badi bhi

Aakhien khuli to paaya
    Haath badhaye khade the
Sapnon me jo thama tha haath
    Zindagi me bas akele hi khade the
