ek chehra tara ban kar aankhon me tim-timata rehta hai
to kabhi chand ki tarah yaadon ke aasma pe muskurata rehta hai
mere har raaste ki manjil ban kar, mujhe aata hai najar
to kabhi parchhayi ki tarah har safar pe, saath nibhata rehta hai
uske shabnami aanchal ki khusboo mere saanson me bas gayi hai
uske muskurate labon ki hasi, mere kaano me goonjti hai
intezaar rehta hai aankhon ko, uske ek jhalak ka
jab wo saath nahi hoti to lgta hai, ye zindagi bhi kya zindagi hai
khushnasib hai wo kajal jo rehta hai uski aankhon me
alfaazo ki bhi kismat hai jo rehte hai uski baaton me
ye deep jalta rehta hai tanha uski yaad me
aur andhera bhi raushan ho jata hai uska saath pa raaton me
kabhi aaye aur mere khwabo ko haqeeqat ka libaas pehna de
meri tanhayi ko apni mehfil me sada ke liye dafna de
main toot jaunga tara ban kar uski har khwaish ke liye
wo jo apne zindagi ke aasma me, mujhko thodi si jagah de
