Mera mann kuch keh raha hai

Mera mann kuch keh raha hai,
Awaaz dil ki dharkanon tak pahunch rahi hain,
Aaj ki yeh barsaat kuch beimann si lag rahi hai,
Armaan ab kuch aise' jaag rahe' hain.

Mann keh raha hai sambhal jaa,
Kahin yeh kadam phisal naa jaayein,
Dil samajha raha hai yeh nadaani ka junoon hai,
Kahin hum badnaam naa ho jaayein.

Magar phir bhi naa jaane' kyon?
Yeh bheenga hua sama mere' dil-o-dimag se' kashmakash kar raha hai.

"Aaj apne' armaanon ko anjaam de' hi do,
Aaj khud ko buland kar hi do."

Nadaani ki aaghosh mein kai aise' waise' khayal aa rahe' hain,
Ek-a-ek woh samajh jaag rahi hai,
Muskura kar iss bheenge' mausam ko dobara samajh rahe' hain,
Yeh toh badalte' sama ka ek aur rukh hai,
Yahi samajh kar khud ko hum sambhaal rahe' hain.
