Adhuri

naKHl-e-numu ki shaKH pe jis dam

nam ki aanch ki sarshaari mein

pankh apne phaila kar ghuncha

puri tab se khil uThta hai

rang aur KHushbu ki bani mein

zat-o-hayat ke kitne nukte

pure wajud se kah deta hai

ye nahin jaanta kaise kaise

rut ke bhed hawa ke tewar

phir bhi an-kahe rah jate hain

dekhte dekhte rang aur KHushbu

aap hi maddham ho jate hain

puri baat kahi nahin jati

baat adhuri rah jati hai

raste KHatm kabhi nahin hote

raston ke aage raste hain

aarzuon andeshon jaise

raston mein raste uljhe hain

in raston ke rahi sare

thak thak rah mein rah jate hain

raste KHatm kabhi nahin hote

baaton ke pichhe baaten hain

chehre saf nazar nahin aate

chehre chilman ban jate hain

chehron ke pichhe chehre hain

chehre maddham ho jate hain

manzar mubham ho jate hain

did nasib kise hoti hai

dil mein duri rah jati hai

puri baat kahe kya koi

puri baat kahi hai kis ne

baat adhuri rah jati hai
