Teri Maa

Maine tujhmein khuda dekha tha,

Har pal tera saath maanga tha.

Teri hansi mein tha mera jahaan,

Phir kyu tu itni badal gayi wahan?

Teri maa ki har ek baat mein,

Tera pyaar dheere-dheere kho gaya.

Jis ghar ko humne milke sajaya,

Woh teri maa ke dar se ro gaya.

Teri maa ki baatein,

Hamaare beech deewaar ban gayi.

Tere kaanon tak pahunchi zehar si,

Aur meri baat adhoori reh gayi.

Maine tujhse jung nahi chaahi,

Maine to bas pyaar kiya tha.

Par teri maa ne jeet li tujhe,

Aur main haar gaya tha.

Har baar jab ladai hui,

Teri awaaz nahi, uski aayi.

"Wo tujhe rok raha hai", "Wo tujhe jhuka raha hai",

Tere dil mein dar basa rahi thi koi saaya.

Main tujhse behas nahi karta tha,

Par har baat pe maa ki soch jeet jaati thi.

Main chup raha, tu bhi rahi,

Bas khamoshi mein shaadi beet jaati thi.

Kaash tune ek baar socha hota,

Ki main tera dushman nahi, humsafar hoon.

Teri maa ki awaaz mein doobkar,

Tu meri har chup ko galat samajh baithi.

Teri maa ki baatein,

Hamaare beech jo deewaar bani,

Usne mera pyaar bhi cheena,

Aur tujhe bhi tanha kar gayi.

Maine tujhse kuch nahi maanga,

Bas thoda bharosa aur saath.

Par maa ki parchhaayi mein,

Mera naam bhi mita diya gaya.

Ab teri maa ke ghar tu reh gayi,

Par mera dil wahiin darwaze pe reh gaya...

Jahaan tune aakhiri baar peeche mudkar bhi nahi dekha.
