Bas Khamoshi Bachi.... Poem by Ashutosh Vajpayee

Ab ghar mein mere sab kuch hain,
Par ghar jaisa ab kuch nahi...
Jaane wala iss tarah se gaya,
Bas khamoshi bachi aur kehne ko kuch nahi..

Darwaze par aaj bhi koi dastak de,
To umeed pehle pahunch jaati hain...
Dil ko aksar wakt lag jata hain..
Ke ab umeed jaisa kuch nahi...

Usne jana chaha aur chala bhi gaya...
Ab mere paas uss jaisa kuch nahi...
Haan kuc ehsaas aaj bhi zinda hain...
Par ab mujhme mujh jaisa kuch nahi...

Vo mera apna tha, phir bhi apna kabhi bana nahi,
Isse kismat kaho ya kami meri, ya kahun mohabbat mein wafa nahi....

Jaane wala iss tarah se gaya,
Bas khamoshi bachi aur
kehne ko kuch nahi..
