kuldeep ki shayyiri

apni raah mein phool ho na ho phir bhi
doston ki raho ke kaanton hatate rehna
zindgi ko khwab se sajate rehna
mushkilen aaye toh bhi sada muskurate rehna
apna haal-e-ilm na hone dena
halat ko iss iss qadar chhupate rakhna
khwabon ke saare janaze doob bhi jaayen
magar tabooton ko hamesha sambhale rakhna
jab kabhi tanhai aa ghere tujhko
apne dil ko gaiiron sang batlate rehna
gham uthakar bhi tu khushiya dete rehna
bas har haal mein raushani dete rehna
kya bura hai iss zamane mein 'deep
khud jalkar bhi raushni dete rehna
