yunhi kisi ke dhyan men apne aap men gaati do-pahren
narm gulabi jadon vaali baal sukhati do-pahren
saare ghar men shaam dhale tak khel vo dhuup aur chhanv ka
lappe patte kachche angan men lot lagati do-pahren
jivan-dor ke pichhe hairan bhagti toli bachchon ki
galiyon galiyon nange paanv dhuul udati do-pahren
sargoshi karte parde kundi khatkata nat-khat din
dabe dabe qadmon se tapti chhat par jaati do-pahren
kamre men hairan khade aina jaise hanste din
khud se lad kar gaurayya si shor machati do-pahren
vahi muzafaton ke bhed bhare sannaton vaale ghar
gudiyon ke lab si kar un ka byaah rachati do-pahren
khidki ke tuute shishon par ek kahani likhti hain
mandhe hue piile kaghaz se chhan kar aati do-pahren
niim tale vo kachche dhage rangti hui purani yaad
ghera daale chhoti chhoti haath batati do-pahren
phati-purani kathri odhe dhuup senkte budhe din
peshani tak pallu khinche chilam banati do-pahren
paani ki taqsim ke pichhe jalte khet sulagte ghar
aur kheton ki zard munderon par kumlati do-pahren
purvai se ladte kitne varaq purani yadon ke
saughaton ke sanduqon ko dhuup dikhati do-pahren
dukhti ankhen zakhmi poren uljhe dhagon jaise din
badal jaisi odhniyon par phuul khilati do-pahren
odhniyon ke udte badal rangon ke bazaron men
chudi ki dukanon se vo hamen bulati do-pahren
sunte hain ab un galiyon men phuul sharare khilte hain
khuun ki holi khel rahi hain rang nahati do-pahren
ye to mere khvab nahin hain ye to mera shahr nahin
kis janib se aa nikli hain ye gahnati do-pahren
