Geet Banane Ki Zid Hai

deevaaron se bhee batiyaane kee jid hai
har anubhav ko geet banaane kee jid hai

         diye bahut se galiyaaron men jalate hain
         magar anishchay ke aa(n)gan to khalate hain

kitanaa kuchh ghaT jaataa man ke bheetar hee
ab saaraa kuchh baahar laane kee zid hai

         jaane kyon jo jee men aayaa naheen kiyaa
         chuppaa aasamaan ko hamane samajh liyaa

dekh chuke ham bhaaShaa kaa vaibhav saaraa
bachchon jaisaa ab tutalaane kee zid hai

         kaun bahalataa hai ab paree kathaaon se
         sau vichaar aate hain nayee dishaaon se

khoyaa rahataa ek parindaa sapanon kaa
usako apane paas bulaane kee zid hai

         sarokaar kyaa unase jo khud se oobe
         hamako to achchhe lagate hain mansoobe

laharen apanaa naam-pataa tak sab kho den
aisaa ik toophaan uThaane kee zid hai
