mai.n soii jo ik shab to dekhaa ye Khvaab
ba.dhaa aur jis se miraa iztiraab
ye dekhaa ki mai.n jaa rahii huu.n kahii.n
a.ndheraa hai aur raah miltii nahii.n
laraztaa thaa dar se miraa baal baal
qadam kaa thaa dahshat se uthnaa muhaal
jo kuchh hausla paa ke aage ba.dhii
to dekhaa qataar ek la.dko.n kii thii
zamurrad sii poshaak pahne hue
diye sab ke haatho.n me.n jalte hue
vo chup-chaap the aage piichhe ravaa.n
Khudaa jaane jaanaa thaa un ko kahaa.n
isii soch me.n thii ki meraa pisar
mujhe is jamaaat me.n aayaa nazar
vo piichhe thaa aur tez chaltaa na thaa
diyaa us ke haatho.n me.n jaltaa na thaa
kahaa mai.n ne pahchaan kar merii jaa.n
mujhe chho.d kar aa gae tum kahaa.n
judaaii me.n rahtii huu.n mai.n be-qaraar
pirotii huu.n har roz ashko.n ke haar
na parvaa hamaarii zaraa tum ne kii
gae chho.d achchhii vafaa tum ne kii
jo bachche ne dekhaa miraa pech-o-taab
diyaa us ne mu.nh pher kar yuu.n javaab
rulaatii hai tujh ko judaaii mirii
nahii.n is me.n kuchh bhii bhalaaii mirii
ye kah kar vo kuchh der tak chup rahaa
diyaa phir dikhaa kar ye kahne lagaa
samajhtii hai tuu ho gayaa kyaa ise?
tire aa.n.suo.n ne bujhaayaa ise!
