Andheri shab se ek la-hasil

andheri shab ke sharmile moattar kan mein us ne kaha wo shaKHs
dur uftada lekin mere dil ki tarah raushan hai

jo mere panw ke talwe hatheli ke gulabi gal mein
kanTa sa chubhta hai

jo mere jism ki kheti pe barish ka chhalawa hai
wo jis ki aankh ki qatil

hawas ek muntazir lekin na zahir hone wale phul ki manind
bechaini mein rakhti hai mujhe wo

aane wala hai
magar wo shaKHs is shab bhi nahin aaya

bhala TuTi kalai se
wo sare KHwab sab wade mulaqaton ke paimane

kahan sambhlen
bhala be-nur aankhon mein wo surat

jham jhamati tund josh-e-KHun se garmi-e-lab tak tamtamati
kis tarah rukti

andheri raat ne
dekha na kuchh sunna hi chaha us ke gosh-e-nazuk aur chashm-e-siyah masum hote hain
