labon pe an-kahi baaten rakhi hain
mahakti surmai shamen rakhi hain
ye jo dar pe tere aankhen rakhi hain
tere bimar ki sansen rakhi hain
kabhi to dekh aa kar kis tarah se
laga kar tah teri yaaden rakhi hain
main kaise ab sameTun zindagi ko
kahin din to kahin raaten rakhi hain
talashi le chukin har ek dil ki
sabhi mein bas ghuTan aahen rakhi hain
ajab hai zindagi ka khel 'jyoti'
yahan apno se hi maten rakhi hain
Ghazal
Labon pe an-kahi baaten rakhi hain
