dukh kii lehar ne chheRaa hogaa
yaad ne kankaR pheNkaa hogaa

(kankaR : pebble)

aaj to meraa dil kahtaa hai
tuu is vaqt akelaa hogaa

mere chuume hue haathoN se
auroN ko Khat likhtaa hogaa

bhiig chaliiN ab raat kii palkeN
tuu ab thak kar soyaa hogaa

rel kii gahrii siiNTii sun kar
raat kaa jangal guuNjaa hogaa

shah’r ke Khaalii isTeshan par
ko’ii musaafir utraa hogaa

mujhe tum nazar se giraa to rahe ho
mujhe tum kabhii bhii bhulaa naa sakoge
na jaane mujhe kyuuN yaqiiN ho chalaa hai
merii yaad ko tum miTaa naa sakoge

merii yaad hogii jidhar jaaoge tum
kabhii naGhmaa ban ke, kabhii ban ke aaNsuu
taRaptaa mujhe har taraf paaoge tum
shamaa jo jalaayii merii vafaa ne
bujhaanaa bhii chaaho bujhaa naa sakoge

(naGhmaa : poem; shamaa : light)
