laut k phir

Us tarah nahi kartey raabta to rakhte hain,
thorha milne julne ka silsila to rakhte hain,
manzilain buland ho’n tau mushkilain to hoti hain,
mushkilo’n se larhne ka hausla to rakhte hain,
jo tumharey apne ho’n tum pe jaan daite ho’n,
…unka haal kaisa hai ye pata to rakhte hain,
dosti k rishte ko bhulte nahi aisey,
rotthey dosto’n se bhi rabta to rakhte hain,
chhorh jane waley bhi kabhi to laut aate hain,
laut k phir aane ka raasta to rakhte hain.
