Aankhon Ke Band Baab Liye Bhaagte Rahe

Aankhon ke band baab liye bhaagte rahe,
Badhte hue itaab liye bhaagte rahe...

Sone se jaagne ka ta'alluq na tha koi,
Sadkon pe apne khwaab liye bhaagte rahe...

Fursat nahin thi itni ke pairon se baandhte,
Hum haath mein rikaab liye bhaagte rahe...

Tezi se beet'te hue lamhon ke saath saath,
Jeene ka ek azaab liye bhaagte rahe...

Kuchh zindagi ki wajah samajh mein na aa saki,
Sochon ka ek nisaab liye bhaagte rahe..!!
