एहसास

नूर की बूँद की तरह निर्मल
एक एहसास है ,जो देता है दिल को सुकून ,
न इसे छू पाओ ,न पहचान सको,
बस धड़कते दिल से इसे महसूस करो
इक ऐसी कशिश है ये ,जो होती किसी एक से है,
ख़्यालों में वो आते है , सिहरन बदन में लाते है
वो प्यार के पल चाहे छोटे ही क्यों न हो ,
पर ज़िन्दगी बन जातें है ,
बस इक शब्द प्यार है यह
