us ki qurbat mein bite sab lamhe
meri yaadon ka ek sarmaya
KHushbuon se bhara badan us ka
qabil-e-did bankpan us ka
shoala-afroz husn tha us ka
dilkashi ka wo ek namuna thi
mujh se jab ham-kalam hoti thi
KHwahishon ke chaman mein har jaanib
chahaton ke gulab khilte the
us ki qurbat mein aise lagta tha
ek pari aasman se utri ho
jab kabhi main ye puchhta us se
sath mere chalogi tum kab tak
mujh se qasmen uTha ke kahti thi
tu agar mujh se dur ho jae
ek pal bhi na ji sakungi main
aaj wo jab juda hui mujh se
us ne to alwidaa bhi na kaha
jaise sadiyon se ajnabi the hum
Nazm
Sadiyon se ajnabi
