yaadon ki dhun kahi suni
to purane khat khol ke dekhe
mayoosi abhi tak chhayi huyi thi
socha chalo shayad wo tang galiyo ki sair kee jaaye
shayad waha mil jaaye wo ittefaq se
magar galiyon ka shor to zindagi ki raftar se tez tha
aise mein deedar hona to namunkin tha
dhoondte dhoondte raah bhatak gaya
aur pahuch gaya un qilo mein, makbaro par
jaha kabhi mulaqat ho jaati thi
yunhi gungunate hue, phirte hue
magar in sumsaan khandaro mein kaha koi milega
bhatakti hui koi rooh bhi yaha nahi sarsarati
mann mayoos hua, phir laut gaya tahzeeb (civilization) par
socha chalo barsaat ka intezaar karte hai
adrak wali chai, meethi khusbu zameen ki
shayad aise me wo sama ban jaaye
jisme lafz angdayi liye vapas chale aaye
aur phir qalam mein syahi aise daude jaise rago mein lahu
phirse byaan hone lage haal dil ka shayari mein
nazmo ka rukh badal kar kagazon se guzre
aur jo chhupa hua hai seene mein, thoda sehma sa
ehsaas ae nakami bikhar jaaye, faa’il jaaye
koi hulchul to ho, zalzala to aaye
