Wo Din Kitna Achchha Tha

wo din kitna achchha tha

main ji bhar ke roya tha

hawa Thumak ke chalti thi

hathon mein gul-dasta tha

huk si uThti thi dil mein

uncha nicha rasta tha

yahi peD the pahle bhi

yahin kahin ek chashma tha

chashme ka soya pani

mujhe dekh ke chaunka tha

pani chhoD ke ek gidaD

ek jhaDi mein lapka tha

do meinDak Tarrae the

ek parinda chiKHa tha

ek kachhwa ek patthar par

patthar ban ke baiTha tha

main pani mein utra to

pani zor se uchhla tha

pahle bhi is jangal se

ek bar main guzra tha

lekin pahli bar 'alwi'

yaad nahin kya socha tha
