Yeh lamhe aur yeh pal kitne' majboor hain

Composed the following on a New Year's Eve:

Yeh lamhe' aur yeh pal kitne' majboor hain,
Na chahte' hue' bhi waqt ke' raftaar mein behte jaate' hain.

Hum har lamhe' aur har pal kuch beete' hue' lamhon aur palon ko yaad karte' hain,
Magar humse' naa jaane' kitne' lamhe' aur kitne' pal nazar se' dooor ho jaate' hain.

Kya karishma hai iss kudrat ka,
Humse' har waqt yeh keemti lamhe' aur yeh keemti pal yoonhi cheen leta hai.

Magar naa jaane kyon hum unn lamhon aur unn palon se' itni mohabbat karte' hain?
Yeh toh sirf jaane' ke liye' hi aate' hain,
Aur naa chahte' hue bhi waqt ke' raftaar mein behte' jaane' ke' liye' hi aate' hain.

Ab unn beete' hue' lamhon aur palon se' kya gila karein?

Jo beet gaye' unse' ab kya khwaish karein?

Kyon naa ab hum sab milkar unn aane' wale'  lamhon aur palon se yeh pochein?

Kya aap hum sab ke' liye' saagar naa sahi magar kushiyon ka koi talaab toh lekar aayenge'? 

Happy New Year!!!
