Chhajon barasti barish ke baad

rifaqat ke nashe mein jhumte
do sabz patton ne

bahut aahista se tali bajai
aur kaha

dekho hasan-abbas!
itni KHub-surat rut mein

koi is tarah tanha bhi hota hai
jo tum is taur tanha ho!?

ye kah kar donon ek duje se yun lipTe
ki jaise ek din tu mujh se lipTi thi

usi lamhe
mere honTon pe tera shahd-agin

lams jag uTTha
aur us gum-gashta nashshe ko main honTon par sajae

apne kamre mein chala aaya
ki daftar ka bahut sa kaam baqi tha
