Kal Aur Aaj

kal jis jagah ye chhanw ghani thi

jahan pe tum ne mujh se wada

liya tha dobara milne ka

main us jagah pe aaya tha

magar wahan dhup kaDi thi

tum to na thin lekin

tum se milti-julti

jhurriyan jhurriyan chehre wali

koi aurat

kabhi jo KHud bhi

kisi se milne

isi jagah par aai hogi

qahr-alud nigahon se mujhe ghur rahi thi

main lauT aaya

tere aur mere jazbon ke

bich mein ek fasil khaDi thi

aur upar se dhup kaDi thi!
