Zindagi ki daud...

Chand Sawaalon mein kat gayi zindagi saari,
Numeron ki daud mein woh kyon hai haari.
Khel hai ye dimag ka, jo dil na samajh paaya,
Dil ke armaanon ko dil mein he kyon dafnaaya.
Pehli bar jab dekhi thi, duniya thi badi chulbuli,
Phir kitaabon ne kyon macha di hai dil mein khalbali.
Bachpan na jeeya, na jee paaya jawani,
Kahan kho gaye woh din, meri asli zindagani.
Sochta tha khel mein bahut naam paunga,
Papa ne kaha khel se kaise note kamaunga.
Addition, subtraction division sab ne bahut uljhaya,
Newton ke laws ne raat raat bhar jagaya.
Paise ki chahat ne poori zindagi mujhe daudaya,
Sochon toh kya main kabhi khud jee paya.
Hansi thi maangi, thodi khushi thi chahe,
Paise ki daud mujhe aaj kis mod pe le aayi.
Ab har sawaal ka ek he jawab sab mujhse lo,
Ek pal toh mujhe jeene do jeene do...
