MERI KAMI HOGI

Meri Kami Hogi…..


Gulshan ki baharoon main,
Rangeen nazaroon main,
jab tum muje dhoondo ge,
aankhon main nami hogi,
mehsoos tumhe har dum,
phir meri kami hogi......

aakash pay jab taare,
sangeet sunayen ge,
beete huye lamhoon ko,
aankhon main sajayein ge,
tanhayi ke sholoon se,
jab aaag lagi hogi
mehsoos tumehin har dum
phir meri kami hogi,

sawan ki ghataon ka
jab shoor suno ge tum,
bikhre huye maazi ke
avraaq chuno ge tum
mahool ke chehre par
jab dhool jami hogi
mehsoos tumhein har dum
phir meri kami hogi

jab naam mera loo ge
tum kaanp rahe ho ge
aanso bhare daaman se
munh dhaanp rahe ho ge
rangeen ghataon ki
jab shaaam ghani hogi
mehsoos tumhein har dum
phir meri kami hogi .... -ATUL
