Nazm

agar tumhaare tin hazar peDon mein se
ek main bhi hoti to

ek sal mein
chhe spray ek khad

aur tumhaari hazaron chahat bhari nazren
mujhe nasib hoti aur tab

dil sogwar na hota
meri har Tahni

tum apne hathon tarashte
main sanwar jati

hawa mujh mein sans bharti
dhup aur baadal

mere dil ki surKH sachchaiyon mein jhilmil karte
aur na jaane kitne surKH phulon se

main farozan rahti
meri zat ki kyari se

tumhaari zat ke ahate tak
tamazat aur KHushbu

shadab phul aur shadab KHar hote
magar main

tumhaare ahate se bahar ka peD thi
KHana-ba-doshon ki basti ka

wo jangali peD jis par
aawara parinde chahchahate hain

aur jis ki har Tahni
apne andar

ek KHala sameTe
aasman ki wusaton mein

bhaTak rahi hai
