Laxman-rekha

tum kahoge din to main bhi din kahunga
ho bala se raat aadhi

main kahunga raat
tum suraj chamakta ho to us ko chand samjhoge

tumhaari aankh mein aansu nazar aaenge jab
main taziyat ke reshmi rumal se puchhunga un ko

muskuraun main
to tum is ko gul-afshani kahoge

aur dhoke se kahin main
shab ko shab kah dun

kahin tum din ko din kah kar mujhe suraj dikha do
nazar aae agar mujh ko

tumhaari aankh ke aansu magarmachh ke se aansu
mere hansne ke pichhe jhankti mahrumiyan tum ko nazar aa jaen

to samjho ki hum
ek dusre ke jism mein poshida shaitanon se

waqif ho gae hain
rawanon mein sulh-jui ke liye

behad zaruri chiz hai,
laxman ki rekha
