Above nd below

Baadalon ke upar, oonchaiyon mein,

Swarg jaisa jahaan hai...

Narmi se ghira hua,

Ya aisa mera gumaan hai...

Jaise bulbulein paani ke,

Chhoo na paayein, par aankhon ke saamne,

Lagta hai sab kuchh sach jaise,

Khwaabon ke daaman ke paas mein.

Akalpaniya, par swarg sa noor,

Raaste chalte, na hota hai door,

Ant na paaya, manzil gum hai,

Har parat mein ek junoon hai.

Praniyon ke roop dikhata,

Ya sirf bhram banata,

Kya ye sach ya sapna hai,

Ye raaz kabhi na samajh paaya.

Anjaana sa sansaar apna,

Brahmand mein akela hum,

Dhundhla sa man, udaasi si chaadar,

Na ant mile, na raahon ka ghum.

Phir bhi lagta hai kuchh khaas,

Jaise likha ho takdeer ke paas,

Aur dil kehata baar-baar,

"Ya aisa maine socha tha..."
