Ek Pal Tha

Ek pal tha, Main khud se bhi gum tha,
Ek pal tha, Mein khud mein khush tha.

Ek pal tha, Rasta manzil ka lamba tha,
Ek pal tha, Main manzil pe ruka hua tha.

Ek pal tha, Ped ki chauv mein thandak thi,
Ek pal tha, Dhoop mein jalti meri rooh thi.

Ek pal tha, Pani ki pyaas mere gaale mein atki thi,
Ek pal tha, In pyasi nazro mein nami thi.

Ek pal tha, Parvat ki chouti mere kadmo tale thi,
Ek pal tha, Khade hone ki bhi himat na thi.

Ek pal tha, Samay bahut thakaam karne ko,
Ek pal tha, Marne ki liye bhi fursat na thi.

Ek pal tha, Dosto se bhara mera kamara tha,
Ek pal tha, Dil mein unki yaadoin ka seilaab tha.

Ek pal tha, Sagar mwin dubta mera jahaj tha,
Ek pal tha, Naiya mein par hota mera safar tha.

Ek pal tha, Bure sapno se meri neend adhuri thi,
Ek pal tha, Sapno ko pura karne ke liye neend chori thi.

Ek pal tha, Kamare mein band meri rooh thi,
Ek pal tha, Khule aakash mein udta mera badan tha.

Ek pal tha, Saare paane kore ho gaye the,
Ek pal tha, Likhne ko baki koi kora kagaj na tha.

Ek pal tha, Har uthi unglimujhe kaante chubha rahi thi,
Ek pal tha, Mere haath se unke liye dua ja rahi thi.

Ek pal tha, Jab jindagi ko jeene ka mann tha,
Ek pal tha, Jab maut ko khone ka darr tha.

Ek pal sab kuch badal deta hain,
Kuch nahi badalta toh woh hum hain,
Jis din badal sakti yeh duniya,
Us din sayadhi koi samay ginta.
