MAA

Phr us tasveer ko leke baitha, gale lagaya
aankhe royi, dil ghabraya
sirahane uski goud main kitna sukoon tha
kya batau doston, vo lamha kitna haseen tha

Mere ek aawaj main chale aana
kahi jaane pe ghabrana
kabhi akhraya na maa ko gussa mera
gusse main bhi utne hi pyaar se khilana

Zindagi main sahi galat ka pehlu bataya
phle chalna, phr daudna sikhaya
mene tab bhi muskurate dekha hai maa ko
jab mene uske niwale pe apna haq jataya

Duniyadari se anjaan
bahut mehfoos tha main vaha
dheer-dheere samhaj gaya
na mandir na masjid, mera khuda vahi
mere maa hai jaha

Mere khawab muqambal karne ki
mujhse jayada koshish uski thi
main kabhi nahi jaan paaya
kaise mere har khawaish ko
bin bole pura karti thi

Maa ki vo pyaari hasi dekhne ko tarsa hu
uske aachal ki chav main khelne ko tarsa hu
aaj phr bacha banne ka mann karta hai
bacha banke, maa kehne ko tarsa hu
