mana main ek shahzadi hun
jo qaidi hai
lekin mere dil mein shahzade ki chah ka koi tir nahin hai
meri aankhen us ki rah nahin takti hain
phir bhi dew ki qaid se chhuT kar
dur hare kheton, nile dariyaon, shafaqi baadalon, gate taeron
KHushbuon se lade hue jhonkon ko chhuna chahun
chumna chahun
un mein ghul-mil jaana chahun
(mere shahzade! main jaanun tu bhi to ye sab kuchh karna chahta hoga)
Nazm
Anokhi shahzadi
Nahid Qasmi
