Iktaadaar

Apne ayyaam pe kyon unko ikhtiyaar diya,
Ek daur-e-zeest hamne yun hi guzaar diya.

Ek anjaan khalish si bhar ke mere seene mein,
Kehte phirte hain woh mujhko iktadaar diya.

Zarraa-zarraa si muhabbaton ko tarsa main,
Unko gumaan ke jee bhar ke hamko pyaar kiya.

Mujh se shuru hoke mujhpe hi khatm ho jaaye,
Mere naseeb ne mujhko aisa tang dayaar diya...
