The 2 AM shairi

itne saal guzar gaye khamoshi mein
ab toh haal-ae-dil batane se dar lagta hai
saath tumhare hokar bhi tanha hun
apni hi jasbaaton se dar lagta hai

kuch samjhu naa is lamhe ki tehzeeb
bada paechida sa waqt guzarta hai
chidd si aati hai apni majboori par
tum kya sochoge is.se dar lagta hai

tumse door rehne hi koshish mai karta hun
chahakar bhi tumhare kareeb nahi aata hun
hum-tum apne apne raaston par chal diye lekin
kahin manzil alag na ho, yeh dar lagta hai!
