Saara saal beet gaya hai

Saara saal beet gaya hai,
Magar yeh kal ki baat lagti hai.
Jab humne' iss saal ki shuruyaat ki thi.

Itna waqt guzar gaya hai,
Magar kuch hi lamhon ki baat lagti hai.
Jab hamare' samne' waqt hi waqt tha.

Sochkar yoon ghabra jaata hoon,
Iss waqt ki raftaar kya hai?

Dekhte' dekhte' hum dekhte' hi reh jaate' hain,
Aur ek anjaani bhaag daurh mein ulajh kar,
Iss zindagi ke' haseen lamhein humse' kitni dooor chale' jaate' hain.

Kitni ajab dastaan hai?
Woh jo kabhi haqiqat tha,
Ab sirf ek khayal ban kar reh gaya hai.

Woh jo kabhi apna tha,
Ab sirf ek sapna reh gaya hai.

Sapno ki kya kadar karein?
Chalo unn aane' waale lamhon ko hum iss tarah guzarein,
Ke' 365 din baad,
Humein mil jaaye' iss zindagi ki tamam khwaishein.
