sachchaiyan apne waqt mein
kabhi ji nahin patin
sau aankhon ne hamesha
lamhon se dhoke khae
tumhein kaise ruKHsat karun
ki ye baat imam-zamin aur dua se
bahut aage bahut aage hai
hatheliyon ke gardab phisalte phisalte
binai ki dahliz pe aa baiThe hain
ungliyan kanon ko kahan tak dastak se dur rakhengi
duaon ki chhatri mein aksar
suraKH rah jate hain
main tumhein kaun si chadar tohfa dun
ki aaj-kal jaulan hai
izzat se zyaada kaghaz kamane ke chakkar mein hain
main ne muTThi khol kar dekhi
to sab lakiron se zyaada banjh niklin
mere pas sabz nahin hain
ki zard patton ki wusat ne KHak se nil tak
sarson ka mausam ka shat kar rakha hai
mere pas kuchh bhi nahin
bas lauT aana
ki tumhaare aane tak
meri aankhen tirgi ki salaKHon mein qaid rahengi
Nazm
Bas lauT aana
