Ek soch ...

There’s a conflict which hits me every now and then. It is a tussle where in at times I wish to be occupied by myself and at times to be occupied by my loved ones. I have tried a lot to elude this but eventually there’s no escaping by to it and I wonder why? The solace here has been described by word ‘tanha’ and company by ‘qurbatein’.

Khuda khair kare
Hum to tanha hi jee lete
Par yeh kambakht qurbatein
Judaa to ho humse

Dooba kar apni noshi mein
Le chalti hai gardish ki oor
Aur phir aisi bekhudi see soz
Jaise jannat se anjuman ko
Tarasta yeh mann har roz

Par phir jab mahsooos hote
Sarah pe yeh pair
To jaan haqeeqat is jahaan ki
Laut chalte khudi ke aagosh mein
Marhoom kar apni
Qurbaton ke kacche dhaage
Bebas is fitna soch ke aage

Khuda khair kare
Humko to jeena
Is lachaar soch ke saath
Par kambakht koi bhulane
Ke liye badhata to haath
