1131~*Phool Kyun Naheen Kahta*~Pak Old...

Kyun

Jalte huwe sahra se guzri houn

Kyun koi sahara naheen deta

Muddat se khamosh khamosh si houn

Is darya main

Woh pathar kyun naheen pahnkta

Kabhi dariche main khari hoti houn

To woh chaira hi kyun naheen dekhai deta

Us ki rah pe chalti houn

To woh aawaz kyun naheen deta

Apni sansoon main khushbo basa kar

Us k aahngan main utarti houn

To woh mujhye phool kyun naheen kahta
