main ye soch kar us ke dar se uTha tha
ki wo rok legi mana legi mujh ko
hawaon mein lahraata aata tha daman
ki daman pakaD kar biTha legi mujh ko
qadam aise andaz se uTh rahe the
ki aawaz de kar bula legi mujh ko
magar us ne roka na mujh ko manaya
na daman hi pakDa na mujh ko biThaya
na aawaz hi di na mujh ko bulaya
main aahista aahista baDhta hi aaya
yahan tak ki us se juda ho gaya main
