Khuli Aankhein

Band aankhon k sapne kitne haseen hote hai na
Khuli aankhon ki haqiquat se
Kitni dardnaak hoti hai kisi ki ruswaayi
Or usse bhi jyada dukhdaayi hoti hai kisi ki judaai

Band aankhon mei jab hum kisi k paas hote hai na
Woh pal kitne khaas hote hai
Uski woh madhosh si baatein
Jhuki palkon ka uthna, muskurana yaad aata hai

Khuli aankhon ki haqiqat se darr lagta hai
Khushnuma palo k chhutne se darr lagta hai
Darr lagta hai kisi k door jaane se
Kisi khaas k khud ko bhool jaane se darr lagta hai

Yeh jo chidiya geet gaati hai na
Sach yeh sirf ek hulchul machaati hai
Band aankhon mei yahi gaana pyaara tarana hota hai
Yeh saawan tumse milne ka bahana hota hai
Uski her baat per dil jhoom uth'ta hai
Or unhi baaton ka lamba fasana hota hai

Per khuli aankhon mei woh paas nhi hote
Unke saath bitaaye palo k ahsaas nhi hote
Or nhi hoti woh baatein-mulaquatein
Kyuki khuli aankhon mei sapno se meethe jazbaat nhi hotey............
