TooTa hua dil

by Indu Verma

Prabhoo haar gayi hooN jeevan se
ab apne paas bulaale tu
nainaa thuk gaye baaT johate
ab inkee jyot bujhaade tu

door diyaa ek Tim Tim kar ke
apnay paas bulaataa hai
neeNd to koson door hai mujhse
dard bhee baRhtaa jaataa hai

raah ye itanee kaThin milee hai
dooree to ghaT-Tee hee naheiN hai
ab tere bin meray bhagwan
umr to bus kaT-Tee hee naheiN hai

ya apnaa mujhe banaale bhagwan
ya jeevan se chuTkaaraa de de
tere dwaar khaRhee hooN ab to
jaldi apnaa niRhnaya de de
