Jaanti ho

Jaanti ho,
Aaj kal kafi vyast rahne laga hoon
Itna kaam karta hoon ki adhikansh adhoora
Itna likhta hoon ki adhikansh aspasht
Tab tak likhta hoon ke jab tak saath deti hain
Tumhen dekhne ki hasrat mein jaagi huyee aankhen

Jaanti ho,
yeh saari kawaayad kyon aakhir?
Bas isliye ki tumhari yaad na aaye
Aankhen aansuon se tar na ho
Aur mein pagalon ki tarah,
Todne-phodne na lagoon har vastu.

Jaanti ho,
Aisi chhano mein mujhko baar-baar
Yeh ahsaas hota hai
Ki
Wakai
Kitna
Swarthi
Hoon mein?

Jo thodi nuksaan se darr kar,
Yaad nahi karta tumhe.

Yeh sab,
Tum jaanti ho na!
