Aaj bazaar gaya tha yeh soch kar,
Kuch aansu bech aaun,
Dil ke bojh ko halka karne,
Apne gham ko baant aaun.

Mitti ke dukaan mein dekha,
Dard bhi bikta tha kahin,
Socha apna dard bhi le jaaun,
Par yeh kaise bik paayega yahin?

Khareedar muskurate hue bole,
Sahab!, aansuon ka kya mol lagayein?
Yeh toh tohfe hain jo apno ke diye,
Kaise hum isse apne sath le jaayein?

Dil ka bojh jo gehra hain,
Woh kaise bazaar mein bik sakta?
Jo zakhm apno ne diye hain,
Woh kaise koi aur sehan kar sakta?

Aansu toh yaadon ki raakh hain,
Waqt ke zakhmon ka yeh silsila hain.
Jo rishtey kabhi jeevit the,
Aaj woh sirf ek khaali baat hain.

Bazaar mein dard ka mol kya?
Jazbaat kya kabhi bikte hain?
Jo zakhm diya apno ne kabhi,
Woh toh rooh tak jaate hain.

Samajh gaya main bazaar ki reet,
Dard ka kya mol hai, ji ?
Yeh toh woh nishaniyaan hain,,
Jo sirf yaadon mein reh jaati hain.

Aaj bazaar se khali haath laut aaya,
Apne aansu wapas le aaya,
Samajh gaya ki yeh tohfe hain,
Jo sirf dil ke kone mein baste hain.

Dard ka ye bojh mera hain,
Isse bechne ka sapna bekaar hain,
Waqt ke saath yeh gehra hota jaa raha hain,
Aur yaadon mein chupke roota hain.

Kabhi apno ne diya tha jo pyar,
Aaj yaadon ka woh haqdaar hain,
Jo rishta tha kabhi jeene ka saath,
Aaj bas dard ka ek izhaar hain.

Raat ke andhere mein jab sochne baitha,
Aansuon ka wazan kyun itna bhaari tha?
Har aansu mein chhupi thi ek dastan,
Par woh rishta jo kabhi apna tha, kyu ho gaya purana?

Dil ke gehraiyon mein jaake,
Dard ka samundar hai bicha,
Usmein yaadon ki kashti chhoti si,
Par har boond ek naya dard laata hai gehra.

Zindagi ka yeh bojh uthane wala,
Har aansu ek naya fasana sunaane wala,
Toh kaise bikega yeh dard bazaar mein?
Jise apno ne diya, woh kabhi bikta nahi vyapaar mein.

Toh ab aansuon ke saath main jeeta hoon,
Yeh tohfe ab apne galey se lagata hoon.
Dil ke kone mein inhe basa kar mein,
Zindagi bhar ke ke liye yeh dard sehta hoon.
