Lost

Kucch saal pehle jo mod liya,
chuna thha maine raasta
Aaj usi ki wajah se jo hoon main,
waheen se shuru meri daastan

Woh mod bhi ajeeb sa thha,
ajab si kahaani thhi
Kuchh raaste thhe dekhe huye,
kuchh raahein anjaani thhi

Kuchh raaston mein badi thhi bheed,
kuchh raaste veerane bhi thhe
Chuna maine usi raah ko,
jiske khilaaf zamaane bhi thhe

Thoda ladkhadaate thoda sambhalte huye,
naye raaston par chal padi
Dekha na mud kar puraana shahar,
nayi duniya mein nikal padi

Thokar mili aur mushkilein bhi,
mile naye dost aur humsafar
Nayi duniya mein nayi duniya basi,
nayi shaamein aur nayi sahar

Yun zindagi chalti rahi,
yun zindagi badal gayi
Mai khud ko peechhe chhod kar,
kitna aage nikal gayi

Phir achaanak is khalish ko dekh,
mai chalte-chalte dar gayi
Kahaan thhi wo, wo jo thhi mai,
wo jaane kahaan kidhar gayi

Ye dari huyi chup si mai,
ye mai to mai kabhi na thhi
Nayi duniya ki nayi si mai,
ye mai to ajnabi si thhi

Awaaz di maine mujhe,
dhoondha bahut idhar-udhar
Tere bina kuchh nahi thhi mai,
tu kahaan gayi mujhe chhhod kar

Tere bina na mera wajood,
tere bina na guroor hai
Tu mujh se hai mai tujh se hoon,
tu kyun yun mujhse door hai

Meri awaaz ki goonj aayi,
kuchh ajnabi se mod par
Mai chal padi phir us taraf,
nayi raahon ko chhod kar

Wo khadi thhi mai ik mod par,
jo jaana-pehchaana sa thha
Ik raaste par bahut bheed thhi,
ik raasta veerana sa thha

Maine khud ko dekha mud kar,
phir bheed mein gum huyi
Mai dekhti hi rah gayi,
tum mujhse kaise tum huyi

Ab gali-gali aur raaste,
phir khud ko dhoondh rahi hoon mai
kaheen tumko dikhe to batlaana,
wo jo gum huyi, bas wahi hoon mai…
