Zaroori Tha

Lafz kitne hi tere pairon se lipte honge Tune jab aakhiri khat mera jalaya hoga Tune jab phool kitaabon se nikaale honge Dene wala bhi tujhe yaad toh aaya hoga Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha Mohabbat bhi zaroori thi, bichhadna bhi zaroori tha Zaroori tha ki hum donon tavaaf-e-aarzu karte Magar phir aarzuon ka bikharna bhi zaroori tha Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha Batao, yaad hai tumko woh jab dil ko churaya tha? Churayi cheez ko tumne Khuda ka ghar banaya tha Woh jab kehte the, mera naam tum tasbeeh mein padhte ho Mohabbat ki namaazon ko qaza karne se darte ho Magar ab yaad aata hai, woh baatein thi mehez baatein Kahin baaton hi baaton mein mukarna bhi zaroori tha Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha Wahi hain sooratein apni, wahi main hoon, wahi tum ho Magar khoya hua hoon main, magar tum bhi kahin gum ho Mohabbat mein dagha ki thi, so kaafir the, so kaafir hain Mili hain manzilein, phir bhi musafir the, musafir hain Tere dil ke nikaale hum kahan bhatke, kahan pahunche Magar bhatke toh yaad aaya, bhatakna bhi zaroori tha Mohabbat bhi zaroori thi, bichhadna bhi zaroori tha Zaroori tha ki hum donon tavaaf-e-aarzu karte Magar phir aarzuon ka bikharna bhi zaroori tha Teri aankhon ke dariya ka utarna bhi zaroori tha
