JANI PEHCHANI SURAT

aaj maan mandir me kuch halchal sunai di,
dil ke darwaze par ek dastak sunai di
barso.n se band is darwaje me kai darae.n pad chuki hai
un darao.n de ek jani pehchani surat dikhai di...

til-til kar jalta tha ek diya
dil ke us band andhere kamre me
hum bhool chuke the udhar kisi ki yade.n rehti hai
aaj us andhere kamre me bhi roshni dikhai di
us roshni me ek jani pehchani surat dikhai di...

waqt jo pal-pal bitata chala gya
karwa.n se sath hamara chhutata chala gya
tanhai se gahara rishta ho chuka tha hamara
aaj meri tanhai mele me khadi dikhai di
us bheed me ek jani pehchani surat dikhai di...

virane is mehfil me kisi ka intezar nahi
tute bikhade dil me kishi ka pyar nahi
aanshu itne bahe ki rooth gye the aankho.n se
aaj ye palke bhi kuch bhigi bhigi-dikhai di
un nam aankho.n se ek jani pehchani surat dikhai di...
