Kaisi Khalish

Yeh kaisi aag seene mein
Jali magar bujhi nahi,
Yeh kaisi baat aankho mein
Chali magar ruki nahi.
Yeh kaisa dard seene mein,
Yeh kaise zakhm khaaye hain,
Yeh kaisi aandhiya hain jo
Uthi magar dabi nahi.
Yeh kaisa intezaar hai
Yeh dil kyon beqaraar hai
Yeh kaisi khwaahishaat hain
Palee magar thami nahi,
Yeh jism tooTta sa hai
Wajood roothta sa hai
Tumhaari aarzoo ki kuch
Khalish to hai kami nahi...
