ek hawa ke jhonke se, zara si aahat hui;
maana jaise unki paayal ki zara si chanchanahat hui;

baarish ki boondon se mitti mehak chuki thi,
unki ek hansi se duniya chahek uthi thi;

baadlon ke surmayee rang si unki aankhen,
dil mein utar chuki thi;

koi maane ya na maane, woh to jaise phoolon ki kali thi

usha ki laalima bikhari hui;
unhi ki ek jhalak thi
kisi aur ke daaman se woh to ab bandh chuki thi;

hum unhe patjadh ki tarah bhula chuke the
jeevan mein aaye phir se bahaar
is khwaahish ke saath jee rahe the
