Fasla

 "Faasla"

Ek muddat tak

main samajhta raha,

ki meri qeemat

kisi aur ki nazar mein likhi hai.

Woh muskura de

toh main behtar,

woh nazar andaaz kar de

toh main kam.

Phir ek din khayal aaya,

yeh kaisa hisaab hai

jahan mera wajood

mere hi haath mein nahi.

Main uske darwaze tak jaata tha,

kabhi dosti mein,

kabhi aadat mein,

aur kabhi us darr mein

ki kahin ruk gaya

toh log bhool na jaayen.

Phir dheere se samajh aaya,

jo rishta sirf haazri se bachta ho,

woh rishta nahi,

ek imtihaan hai.

Aur jo log waqai apne hote hain,

unhe roz yaad dilana nahi padta

ki hum maujood hain.

Ab agar dil karega

toh jaaunga,

na karega

toh nahi.

Na gussa,

na elan-e-jang.

Bas itna sa faisla

ki meri zindagi

ab kisi ek nazar ki mohtaaj nahi.

Aur agar kabhi tanhaai aaye,

toh usse bhi keh dunga,

"Baith.

Magar meri qeemat ka faisla

tu bhi nahi karegi."
