Qurb O Buad

raat ko jab bhi aankh khuli hai

mujh ko yun mahsus hua hai

jaise koi

mere sirhane khaDa hua hai

do aanhken

miThi nazron se

mera chehra chum rahi hain

do hathon ki narmi

mere ruKHsaron par phail gai hai

do honTon ki garmi

meri peshani mein jazb hui hai

zulfon ki lahraati KHushbu

sanson mein ras-bas si gai hai

kamre ki KHamosh faza mein

giton ke kuchh bol purane

tair rahe hain

khiDki ke pardon ko jaise

abhi kisi ne Thik kiya hai

aatish-dan ke bujhte shoale

abhi abhi bhaDkae gae hain

takiya jo bistar se gira tha

ab sar us pe dhara hua hai

kambal jo pairon mein paDa tha

sara badan ab Dhanp raha hai

mujh ko yun mahsus hua hai

jaise tum

ab bhi kamre mein khaDi hui ho

ab bhi ghar mein basi hui ho

lekin tum to chhoD ke mujh ko

dur purane qabristan ki

simTi sukDi ek turbat mein

ek muddat se chhupi hui ho!
