armaan

kitni hi hain khwaahishein
kitne hain armaan
maayne hain sabhi ke
kaise karoon bayaan

besabra yeh soch meri
maare badi chhalaang
bewafaa hai yeh waqt
aata nahi hai haath

rukta nahi hai koi
madadgaar ho tum khud hi ke
lado, maro, ya jo bhi
khud hi se lo hisaab

ziddi hain yeh khwaahishein
badtameez mere armaan
roke nahi rukenge
bina pahunche apne mukaam

poore karunga kaise
khud se yeh waade behisaab
apni hi hain yeh khwaahishein
apne hi toh armaan
