Binod ke liye

Yeh geet hai likha — Binod ke liye,

Jo chhup gaya duniya ki roshni se piye.

Dil mein tha tufaan, par bolta nahi,

Muskaan thi chehre pe, rohta nahi.

---

Har subah uthta tha khwaabon ke saath,

Zindagi chalti thi aadaton ke raath.

Kandhon pe bojh tha, aankhon mein pyaas,

Par kabhi bhi na todi usne apni aas.

Andar se jala, par bahar se cool,

Waqt ne sikhaaya, ban gaya school.

Jahan dard mile, wahan likha usne,

Zakhm se bana ek shabd ka ghool.

---

Binod tha woh, jise samjha na gaya,

Dil mein tha sona, par dikhla na gaya.

Logon ne toh bas useh chhota samjha,

Khud se ladta raha, rota kam tha.

Har pal ek jung thi — khamoshiyon ke beech,

Sochta tha dil se, par bolta tha seedh.

Toota tha kabhi, phir bhi jhuka nahi,

Sapno ke liye — kabhi ruka nahi.

---

Yeh lafz hain uske jo keh na saka,

Har dard, har yaad, har gehra dhaka.

Yeh geet hai likha — Binod ke liye,

Jo jeeta tha sach, har jhooth ke piye.
