Az-sar-e-nau

tujhe chhu kar bahaar aai thi

kunj-e-gham mein barsa tha

tere aane se sawan

chandni chhiTki thi

phuli thi shafaq

boli thi koyal dekh kar tujh ko

amal ye sans lene ka bahut aasan hua tha

khel sa lagne laga tha

aazmaish se guzarna

karzar-e-zist mein, din raat karta

ab magar

phir ibtida se

kawish-e-paiham mein

ghume ja rahe hain

waqt ke pahiye

nae taklif-dah aaghaz se hum ko guzarna paD raha hai phir
