waqt ki chaukhat par ek aur sar kalam ho gaya, kya kahein kisi se, hamaari khata kya thi...

sard raat ko hawa bhi kya khaak ko aise tadpati hogi, jaise tera chehra is rooh ko tadpata hai, talwar to sirf maut de kar rukti hai, par teri aahaton ka khanjar dil chalni kar jaata hai...

kisi se vaada kiya tha muskurane ka, hum muskurate rahe, hum chalte rahe unke peeche, wo dur jaate rahe, na jaane kya shikwa thi unhe humse, hum marte rahe, wo muskurate rahe...

tere ishq mein, tujhse dur reh kar, jaise zindagi tabaah lagti hai, sardion mein aur tadpaati, jaise sard hawa lagti hai, kuch aise bus gayi hai, ye doorie humaare beench mein, ab to zindagi bhi ye, bewafa lagti hai...

khuda se jab mulakat hui, usse kaha tere ishq ko salaamat rakhe, tere rooh ki khushboo, teri aankhon ki garmi ko, tere zulfon ki jhadi ko salaamat rakhe, sirf main ya khuda jaanta hai, tere deedar ke bina ab din kaise kat-te hain, tere ek aur deedar ke liye, meri aankhon ko salaamat rakhe...
