Wo Jo Shaer Tha

wo jo shaer tha, chup sa rahta tha

bahki bahki si baaten karta tha

aankhen kanon pe rakh ke sunta tha

gungi KHamoshiyon ki aawazen!

jama karta tha chand ke sae

gili gili si nur ki bunden

ok mein bhar ke khaDkhaData tha

rukhe rukhe se raat ke patte

waqt ke is ghanere jangal mein

kachche pakke se lamhe chunta tha

han, wahi, wo ajib sa shaer

raat ko uTh ke kuhniyon ke bal

chand ki ThoDi chuma karta hai!!

chand se gir ke mar gaya hai wo

log kahte hain KHud-kushi ki hai
