Ek hawa ka jhonka

Ek hawa ka jhonka in baazuon
ko sehlate hue aise guzar gaya jaise
Koi ithlati hui purwayi ched jaye
meri tanhayi ko …

Kuch yaadon se jab palken
bheegne lagti hain
Unki tasveer dekh tab
do do shaklen dikhne lagti hain...

Ek lambi si khamoshi hoti
hai in labon pe
Kehti hai chalo ghoom aayen
beete lamho ke kandhe pe...

Kuch safar yun beet rahen hain tanha
jaise umar guzar gayi ho iss kadar tanha
Kuch apne jinhe piche chod aayen hain
din unke bhi basar ho rahe tanha....

EK Ladki

Hasti thi hasaati thi n jane kitna sataati thi
Hur baat mein ek sapna tha jaise

Ya hur sapne mein ek baat thi uske
Hur rooz wo ek naye roop mein dikhti thi
hur roop mein lagti sungemar-mar ki tarah

Hotoon pe humesa muskaan rehti thi
Bina kuch bole bahut kuch kehti thi

Aankhen thi uski neeli jheel ki tarah
Mili thi mujhse khwaboon ki tarah
Mere hothoon ko chu gayi ek gazaal ki tarah

Dooniya k sare gum bhula de
Usske hoothon pe aisi muskaan rehti thi

Phool k aagosh mein ek subnum ki tarah
Uski adaaein thi mausam ki tarah


Mere dil k hur kone ko chu
Laut gayi wo sagar ki tarah ……
