Dastak...

It was long back, a school girl in me, while thinking about her dream world wrote something. She was so curious to see her dreams come true, and to live her life the way she wants, with all that love and adulation, which were like a fairy tale to her... And about 7 years from then... Now that school girl has grown up, and has taken a very different way of life altogether, something completely out of her imagination. But she is happy, as she is living her dreams, and in her dreams there's still those clouds of uneasiness to see the so much desirable soul, which has made her so curious, and extremely passionate to meet...
The lines so quoted show her dilemma, and her similar situation even after a long time gap, but with new situations and new anxieties.

"Mere sapno ke jhrokhe mein chaand aaya tha,
meine usse aapni palko pe sajaya tha
din raat sapno mein dubbi rehti,
par ek baar bhi ye na kehti
shayad mere dil mein usne ghar banaya tha
jis mein vo kabhi rehne aaya tha...

par kahan hai vo chaand?
aur kahan hai vo chandni?!
jisne mujhe ye swapn salona dikhaya tha
mere dil ke armano ka deep jalaya tha.

shabnami hotho pe vo naam kaise aaye
kia batau
kab kahan ye dil tujh mein kho jaye
iss bandhan se e dil mere, kaise bacha jaye
dhadkano mein basne wale ye dil tujhe kaise bhulaye!

kaliyon ke sundr chaman mein phool khile the
baharon mein iss dil ke dwaar khulle the.
isse mein aapna kasoor kaise jaanu
chandni ko chanda se alag kaise maanu.

mere dil ko teri ek dastak ne neend se jagaya tha
mere sapno ke jhrokhe mein chaand aaya tha... "
