Zehra Nigaah
shahr ke ek kushada ghar men
apne apne kaam sambhale
main aur ek miri tanhai
ham donon mil kar rahte hain
baten karte rote hanste
har dukh-sukh sahte rahte hain
aaj ki jab suraj bhi nahin tha
phulon ke khilne ka ye mausam bhi nahin tha
aur falak par chand ke chha jaane ka hafta biit chuka tha
darvaze ki ghanti ne vo shor machaya
jis se puura ghar tharraya
ham donon hairan hue ki aisa raahi kaun ruka hai
jo is ghar ko apna ghar hi samajh raha hai
khidki se bahar jhanka to bas ik khvab sa manzar dekha
suraj bhi dahliz pe tha
aur chand kivad ki ot se lipta jhank raha tha
phuul khile the
ham ne is mehman ko sar ankhon pe bithaya
dil men jagah di
jo apne ham-rah sabhi mausam le aaya
thaki hui tanhai ne mujh se
thodi der ko mohlat mangi
main ne us ko chhutti de di
saath men ye takid bhi kar di
dekho kal tum apne kaam pe jaldi aana
bhuul na jaana
ye raahi jo saare mausam le aate hain
in ke raste saari duniya men jaate hain
jis angan men chalna sikhen
us angan men ruk nahin paate
ruk jaaen to thak jaate hain
