Kahani achi lagti hai, par sachi nhi lagti.

Dosti bhi to log dushmani se karte hai.
Laga kar baton ki aadat, simple zakhm paida karte hai.

Ye baton jaisi mout ki aadat unhone hi to di hai.
Aur kehte hai pagall tujhme kya kami hai.

Jo jitney kareeb aata hai utna hi dil ko cheer deta hai.
Pehle kuch promis aur fir kuch yaado ki bali chadata hai.

Past ki kuch yaadon ko wo bhulana chahta hai.
Bhulaye kaise wo, jo isi shehr ki hawa hai.

Jise dost banana ki aadat thi, wo akele pan se jhojh rha hai.
Dosti ke naam par jisne dosti ki wo kahi aur maze kar rha hai.

Galti uski bhi thi, jo wo dost bana betha.
Akela pan raas nhi aa rha tha na isliye fanda laga betha.

Dono ke chehre par muskurahat aane lagi thi.
Kisko kya pta tha ye dosti kaha jaane lagi thi.

Soch ke aasman me apne apne khuwab bunne lage the.
Ek dusre ko jaan ke ab wo kaha milne lage the.

Shuruaat to hamne salam se ki lekin khuda hafiz kano me gunj rha hai.
Aur ye jis shehr me huwa hai us shehr me abhi kohra hai.

Jab bhi kisi gali se gujarta hu uski yaad aa jati hai.
Mujhe kya pta tha yaadein itna tadpati hai.

Jab ladai hoti to dono aapas me maafi bhi maang lete the
lekin kisi teesre ke kadam dono ko baanth dete the.
