......Kehan pata tha (I did not know)

In a dark night when everything around me was in slumber excepts symphony of silence produced by crepuscular creatures and howling of Jackals, there was a sense of loss and dejection. I was sleeping below a sky full of stars gazing at me. On dark black sky it appeared as if million of pairs of eyes shining like a cats eye shining in the darkness. Nearby a dog tries to compete with Jackal's alto ends up by disturbing peace and serenity. Mind was wandering through different paths upon which life has tread, a silent sepulchural cry......

Ek tum heen to the jindagi main,
Kafir nikalogey kehan pata tha.

Bade arman se dekha tha teri ankhon main,
Kishi aur ka chehra nazar ayeyga kehan pata tha.

Chahta reha hum jishey jindagi bhar,
yun saath chod dogey kehan pata tha.

Mehfil-mehfil gulsan-gulsan dundhta reha hun tumko,
padosh main heen mil jaogey kehan pata tha.

Hazaron hashinaon ko dil diya,
Ek se bhee mohabbat na milega kehan pata tha.

Puri duniyan ghumta reha hun,
Shehar main heen kho jaunga kehan pata tha.

Tujh se milney ki umeed main puri sab jagta reha,
Sahar honey per tum aogey to so jaunga kehan pata tha.
