koshish...

"naadaan main,

pareshaan main,

waqt k faisalo se anjaan main,

choona chaahu aasma,

peerona chahu sitaare,

chaand se krna chaahu roshan andhere,

ye b na jaanu,

kya milega wo jiski khawaish kroo,

aage kya hoga naa janu main,

lekin koshish kiye bina bhi haar na maanu ..."

Dhundhlaa gyee yaadein

Door hokar bhi kabhi hum sath the,

kabhi tum hamari khaamoshi samjhte,

to kabhi hum,

fir waqt badla,

thoda tum badle thoda hum,

kabhi tum chup rhe,

to kabhi hum,

chupi ka silsila yuhi chala,

beeti baatein bani yaadein,

or yaadein basi zehan me,

fir beet gaya wo waqt,

dhundhale hue wo ankahe labz,

or dhundhla gayi wo saari yadein...

Khamoshi...

"kabhi kabhi khamoshi achhi lagti hai,

khamoshi k sath timtimate tare dekhna achha lagta h,

timtimate taro me apno ko dhundhna achha lagta hai,

apno ko dhundhte hue thandi hawao ko mehsus karna achha lagta hai,

thandi hawao ko mehsus krte hue khamoshi k sangeet me khona achha lagta hai....

khamoshi k sangeent k sath aankh munde hue yaado ki pyari pyari jhalkiyan achhi lagti hai,

kabhi kabhi ye khamoshi badi achhi lagti hai..."
