Darr Kyu Lage

Kehte hai, ki akelapan toh shayar ke liye zaruri hai,
Kabhi kabhi toh aisa mohaul banao ki khudke saath bina darre kuch lamhe bitana, aise na lage ki majboori hai.

Darr kyu lage? Na tere jaane se, par tere aane se.
Hum kyu jeeye tere behkaave mai, tere rehjaane se?

Sehma hua mai toh zindagi se, zinda-dili hoti meri khaali.
Kaali-kaali raatein, jaani-maani baatein maare jaati mujhe, zinda tujhe khaati.
Dooriyan satati, badhti aatishbaazi, sona nahi raazi, neend bhi jagati.
Cheekh bhi sunaati, geet bhi na gaati, bheed ki gunaahi, sehmi nahi syaahi.

Darr kyu lage? Na tere jaane se, par tere aane se.
Hum kyu jeeye tere behkaave mai, tere rehjaane se?

4 din, 4 raatein beeti jaise mili saasein, kya din, kya shaam hai?
Jaam bhare meri aankhein, raah dekhu kaafi ho chuki raat,
Chaand thehra jaise thehri saugaat.
Baat badhi jaake bani woh baadh, ab behte jaate usme, bache na aaj.
Mai kho chuka hu, khoj le mujhe,
Mai chahta hu ki koi de sahara, dhundh le mujhe.
Teri yaadein, yaadein nahi woh dard hai,
Sar pe mere bada karz hai.
Khudme baitha hu mai gharpe.
Par aaj bhi mujhe...

Darr kyu lage? Na tere jaane se, par tere aane se.
Hum kyu jeeye tere behkaave mai, tere rehjaane se?
Darr kyu lage? Na tere jaane se, par tere aane se.
Hum kyu jeeye tere behkaave mai, tere rehjaane se?

4 din, 4 raatein beeti jaise mili saasein, kya din, kya shaam hai?
Jaam bhare meri aankhein...
Chaand thehra jaise thehri saugaat.
