jaane kya aaseb tha patthar aate the

dil hai ya mele mein khoya hua bachcha koi

bhuk ki kaDwahaT se sard kasile honT

hawaen jab ghanTiyan bajaen to lauT aana

yunhi kisi ke dhyan mein apne aap mein gati do-pahren

main apne azab likh rahi thi

wahshat si wahshat hoti hai

wo mere KHwab-e-pairahan chhu kar

apni aag ko zinda rakhna kitna mushkil hai

ye nazuk si mere andar ki laDki

diwaron par sae se lahraate the

ye jang wo hai ki ab KHud bhi haarna chahun

kaisa KHazana ye to zad-e-safar nahin rakhti

main phul phul safar kar rahi thi KHwabon ka

taq mein kaun rakh gaya ek diya aur ek phul
