Farhan Akhtar Poetry | Farhan Akhtar Quotes in Hindi

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho toh zinda ho tum,

nazar mein khwabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho toh zinda ho tum

hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehno seekho,

tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho

har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahen,

har ek pal ek naya samha dekhe yeh nigaahen

jo apni aankhon mein hairaaniyan leke chal rahe ho toh zinda ho tum,

dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho toh zinda ho tum

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya

Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
…Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai

Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
