Koi tumse poochey ....

This is amongst the most phenominal work of words I've seen in recent times. Very simple words carrying the extreme weight of emotions. I found it in *****'s [name with held to retain privacy] orkut profile. I'm posting this after taking her consent. The writer of this poem is not known to either of us as she too found this somewhere on the internet. If any of you know the name of the person who wrote it, then please let me know, I'll me more than happy to put a name instead of 'unknown'. I hope you will like his / her work.

Koi tumse poochey...


Koi tumse pooche kaun hoon main,
Tum keh dena koi khaas naheen.

Ek dost hai kaccha pakka saa,
Ek jhooth hai aadhaa saccha saa.

Jazbaaton ko dhaanpey ek pardaa,
Bus ek bahanaa accha saa.

Jeevan ka ek aisa saathi hai,
Jo door na ho kar paas naheen.

Koi tumse pooche kaun hoon main,
Tum keh dena koi khaas naheen.

Hawa ka ek suhana jhonkha hai,
Kabhi naazuk toh kabhi toofaanon saa.

Shaql dekh kar jo nazrein jhukaa le,
Kabhee apna toh kabhee begaanon saa.

Zindgee ka ek aisa humsafar,
Jo samandar hai, par dil ko uskee pyaas naheen.

Koi tumse pooche kaun hoon main,
Tum keh dena koi khaas naheen.

Ek saathee jo ankahee kuch baatein keh jaataa hai,
Yaadon me jiska ek dhundhla chehra reh jaataa hai.

Yuh toh uske naa hone kaa kuch gam naheen,
Par kabhee-kabhee aankhon se ansu ban ke beh jaata hai.

Yuh rehta toh mere tassavur me hai,
Par in aankho ko uski talaash naheen.

Koi tumse pooche kaun hoon main,
Tum keh dena koi khaas naheen.
