decline

main jiine ki tamanna le ke uthti huun

magar jab din guzarta hai

sunahri dhuup ki kirnen kisi dariya kinare par utarti shaam ke bikhre hue chamkile balon se lipat kar sone lagti hain

hava bezar ho kar phir thake panchhi ki banhon men simat kar baith jaati hai

zamin ka shor bhi tab rafta rafta maand padta hai

falak ke akhiri kone pe jis dam kuchh syahi jhilmilati hai

sitare surmai se asmanon ki bichhi chadar pe aise baith jaate hain

ki jaise dubte suraj ki mayyat par sipare padhne aae hon

tabhi ehsas hota hai ki goya zindagi bas ek din ki thi
