Dosti

Yoon to kayee rishton se
judi rahi main -
maa, pita, behan
bhai, pati, putra,
sakhi, sakha - sab hain.
Sochti hoon par, har rishta
kuch sokh kar hi to man ka aanchal
geela karta hai.
Haan dost mile kuch
aise bas us pal
jab langh rahe the bachpan hum
tikke rahe toofanon mein bhi
bin badle
badalte swayam ke sang.
Gaanth lagi thi tab
kuch aise antar ki
langhte the jab dahleezen hum -
rahe alag alag
par saath ka
ehsaas sada tha
jo niswarth, nischal, nirmalta se
lauta deta tha
badalte kaal ke dar se
khud ko mujh mein
mujh mein khud ko.
Issi liye-
Har rishte se pare hain hat ke
meet mere yeh bachpan ke.
