SEARCH FOR MY CHULBULI
CHIDIYA
Hamne kabhi na socha, na samjha tha ki ek din
aysa bhi aayega
Jab mujhe hansne ko log kahenge toh mujh ko
bas rona aajayega
Ab jab mera bas chale toh main khud ko khud se
chhupa kar rah loon
Ajeeb yeh jeewan hai aytwaar apna karoon ya
phir unka kar loon
Na main khush na wo khush yahan kaon hai
mere niraas jindgi se khush
Magar ab kahan hai fursat mujhe sar utha ke
chalna aur rahna khush
Ham yeh jaante thea ki ek roj meri jaan ko jaana
toh jarur tha
Phir kyun ab bilakh rahe hain jab apne pyar par
itna gurur tha
Is duniya ki tarakki yahan ki rahen sahen bade
ajeeb lagte hain
Insaan ke kabje mein sab kuchh hai toh unke
dilwar kyun bichhadte hain
Pyaar ke ghazal main ne cheddi thi unko jeewan
mein mera saath dena tha
Jab madhur sangeet ki lutf aane lagi kya tabhi
unko jana tha
Kudrat ne Lakhan ko nakamil kar diya uska dil
nikaal ke
Saroj jeeti rahti tab kuchh sukoon to deti apne
sewa nihaal se
Ab na rahi hai baans aur na bajegi baansuri yeh
ghar aagan udhas hai
Udd kar chali gai hai wo chulbuli chidiya ab uska
talaas hai.
