Koshish...

Koshish to maine bahut ki,
Har shah se najar churane ki.
Par kab tak sham ko gungunata main?
Is raat ko to aana hi tha.

Tumhe bhulane ki har koshish ke sath,
Mera dum ghutataa chala gaya.
Meri har ek saans ke sath,
Tumhari yaad ko to aana hi tha.

Chehre ke maile ki raunak me,
Shayad bahal jata ye dil.
Par un ajnabi mukharaton ke jarokhein me,
Tumhari surat ko to aana hi tha.

Khuli aankhon se duniya thi rangili,
Har rang tha tumhari yadon ke siwa.
Par palak jhapkne ke antraal me,
Tumhe jehan me to aana hi tha.

Har aur bikhar se jate the tum,
Kabhi khushbu kabhi mere khwab ki tarah.
Kab tak suraj ko hatheli se chupata main?
Uski roshni me to tumhe muskarana hi tha.

Muskarate hue har pal khud se ajnabi ki tarah,
Tumhari yaad ko chupata chala gaya.
Kab tak tumhe apne bhitar samata main?
Meri kavita me to tumhe bahar aana hi tha.
