Khwab Purane
khvab purane, tum, aur bite lamhon kee baten
kuchh bhigi si aur kuchh kuchh dhundhali si raten
kuchh udas hi subahen, roothi yadon ke katare
kitana kuchh ek adhoora rishta de gaya…
jehan men utarati khushabuyen aapas men ghulati thi
aur tasvir banati thin bite hue kal kee
yoon lagata tha tumane kisi aur janam men di thin
kitana kuchh jard pannon men daba ek fool sookha de gaya…
kuchh door tumhara hath tham kar chali thin main kabhi
tumhare roomal men mere aansoo kya aaj bhi rote hain
badal ab bas tumhari hi tasvir banate hain
kitana kuchh meri bahon ko aasaman tanaha de gaya…
khamosh khoobasoorat aankhon men kho jane kee khvahish
ek lamhe men jindagi ji lene ka ahasas
janate hue bhi kee khatm nahin hoga, intazar tumhara
kitana kuchh hamadam mere mujhe pyar tera de gaya…
muskurahaten, sunahale khvab, jade kee baran dhup
chand se kee gaee kitani baten aur anakaha kuchh
kuchh tasviren aur kuchh adhoori si kavitayen
kitana kuchh bite kal ka har ek lamha de gaya…
