Ki KHwab tha bas tumhaara aana

tumhaari aankhen KHushi ki KHwahish liye hui thin
tumhaari sochon mein ahd-e-mazi ki silwaTen thin

tumhaare gesu ghumarti ghirti ghaTaon ke kuchh ghanere baadal bane hue the
qadam baDhae nazar jhukae badan badan churae aa rahi thi

hawaen bhi gunguna rahi thin
kali kali muskura rahi thi

KHizan-rasida chaman mein jaise bahaar chupke se aa rahi thi
magar achanak

ye KHwab TuTa to main ne dekha
rida-e-shab pe koi sitara nahin tha baqi

jahan judai ke sare lamhe gale mile the wahan mohabbat ki mang bharne ko shabnam utri
KHizan-rasida badan-darida wo shab-gazida udas lamhe!

ajib wahshat jaga rahe the
wajud se wo adam ki duniya mein ja rahe the

ki KHwab tha bas tumhaara aana
