Raaton mein jab kabhi neendh na aye, sochna main ne yaad kiya beechani mein.
Phir jab sandhya ki aarti mein ankho ko bandh karte he humara khayal ajaye,
ansu-o ko mat rokna ?
Soonsan angne pe varsha ke baad jo khusbhoo aye,
toh samaj na humne chuatha.
Nahate waqt tumhare komal peero se alta dulne lage, toh sochna mere haaton pe humahe alta ke chaph hai.
Logo ke lehro ke neech apne-aap ko gumsum or akela pao toh,
sochna mein bhi uthna he akela ho gaya hoon.
Jab lage tumhara noor kuch daba-daba so hai mein ek choti se mombattie leke araha hoon.
Nooranie kardunga pair se tumhe.
Raat ke sare taare jab tim-tim karne lage aur gehrey kaale baadal chajaye,
mein ek thandhi hawa ka jhoka banke ajaunga,
tumhare taare louta dunga.
Haaryali teen ke jhule aur tumhare haare chudiya jab kankenge,
main kuch jungle phool lake tumahre baalon mein lagadunga.
Naye cycle se jate hue jab tumhare chehre pe surkhiya agaye,
yaad rakhna uss tute hue pull pe kabhi hum saath the.
Koi jab tumse mere bare mein pooche toh kehna – ek lamba raaste ke jaisa tha woh,
anthaheen par tha toh woh mera ek athithe.
Bahudin purani bhule-bhulae baat hai,
Sakhi kehta tha prem ki birha kab ki beeth gaye.
Beethi nahi yeh sandhya uske saath, bitai hue..
