Woh aakhri desk...

Woh aakhri desk jispe aaj koi aur baitha hai
Kabhi mera hua karta tha woh
Mere sapnon ka mere jazbaaton ka
Basera hua karta tha woh
Woh bhi kya din the
Awaaz dekar maa bistar se uthaati thi
Uthne main jab deri karo
Halke se chilaati thi
Naak chadha kar uthte the
School ke liye hone taiyaar
Wajah bas ek hi hoti thi, aaj phir milenge saare yaar
Jitna marzi pehle jau, aakhri desk par baith jaata tha
Khaana lazeez doston ko kehkar unke ghar se mangwaata tha
Pehle ek aaya fir dusra aisey karte karte poora ho gaya yaarana
Dosti hamari se na jaane kyu itna jalta tha zamaana
Ghar waale sochte the, school jaakar padhta hoga
Jo sikhaya woh seekh kar, zindagi main aagey badhta hoga
Woh kya jaante the ishq tha mujhe yaaron se apne
Milbaithkar dekhe saath na jaane kitne sapne
Shor itna kiya karte the jab tak teacher na thak jaaye
Sharam hum main hai thodi, ho door uska yeh shak jaaye
Phir aagey piche bitha kar humien alag alag kar deta
Doston ko alag kar toh liya Dosti ko kaisey alag kar leta
Besharmon ki tarah door se hi guftagu karte the
Bas phir kya, gaalon par zor se thappad padte the
Pyaar hua karta tha har roz nayi kisi haseen bala se
Paisa toh tha nahi, dil behlaate the uska kala se
Chitthiyan likh kar uski taraf phainkta, uski dost uthakar ussey pakdaati thi
Do minute main padkar, meri taraf mudkar muskurati thi
Aakhri din jab saath tha, sabki aankhien nam thi
Dil main chupi rahin kuch baatien, bayaan ki bahut kam thi
Aaj woh saare dost jinki yaari ki kasamien khaaya karta tha zamaana ek dusre se door hain
Galati nahi hai unki, bas waqt ne kiya majboor hai
Woh desk, woh teacher, woh imaaratien toh ab bhi wahi hai
Woh yaarana, woh lamhien, woh muskan shayad ab kahin nahi hai
Laut kar naa aaenge yeh pal kabhi, bas isi baat se hamesha darta tha
Woh aakhri desk jispr koi aur baitha hai, kabhi mera hua karta tha
Kabhi mera hua karta tha...
