Hum Kyun Chalte Hain?

|Mallika Taneja

Hum kyun chalte hain
Yahan se wahan jaane ko,
Idhar udhar dolne so,
Kuch bolne ko,
Hum yun chalte hain,
Hum kyun chalte hain?

Mann karta hai,
Phirne ghoomne ka,
Dekhne soonghne ka,
Uss sheher ko
Jisse hum ghar kehte hain,
Hum yun chalte hain.

Sheher chahe humein na de jagah,
Phir bhi hum chalte hain.
Maan karta hai,
Toh chalte hain,
Hum yun chalte hain.

Sheher ke taur tareeke badalne chalte hain,
Hum jurrat karte hain,
Issliye chalte hain.

Sawal poochne ko chalte hain,
Kiski sadak,
Kiska sheher,
Kiska desh,
Jawaab dene ko chalte hain,
Hum yun chalte hain.

Kabhi paseene mein lath path,
Kabhi muffler ki aadh mein,
Kabhi baraste badal ke sath chalte hain.

Sath chalo!
Sath chalo toh pata chale,
Hum kyun chalte hain.
Sath chalo toh pata chale,
Hum kaise chalte hain.

Arre sath chalo aur dekho,
Hum tumhare hakon ke liye bhi chalte hai.
Din raat chalte hain.
