Poet
patjhaḌ ka mausam tha lekin shaḳh pe tanha phuul khila tha
jis ko ham patthar samjhe the chashme jaisa phuuT baha tha
ab to ankhen paap bhari hain ek samay yaaro aisa tha
agle ghar ki chhat ke pichhe chand bahut pyara lagta tha
nang-dhaḌang ik nanha-munna pichhe pichhe dauḌ raha tha
aage uḌne vaale vaqt ne pal-bhar ko muḌ kar dekha tha
phulon vaale tarkash ke ik tiir ne meri ankhen le liin
aur jis ne chilla khincha tha vo bhi ik andha laḌka tha
ghar se niklo dhuup men baiTho dekho us pipal ka saaya
jis ke niche tum aisa ik bhola bachcha khel raha tha
jo pagal aurat parson tak ik guḌiya nocha karti thi
kal us ki jhilmil chunari men ek maTiyala guDDa sa tha
yuun to hari-bhari rahon men roz naya mela lagta hai
jab main ghar se nikla ya to main tha ya mira saaya tha
main samjha tha mere sar aur zaḳhm ki nisbat pur-ma.ani hai
aur koi tha jis ki ḳhatir bachchon ne patthar phenka tha
ashk’ ik muddat tak gum-sum se peḌ ne rim-jhim barkha jheli
aag lagi to chingari ke charon or dhuan phaila tha
