Wo larki bhi aik ajeeb paheli thi
piyasay hont thay, ankh samander jaisi thi

Soraj usko dekh kay peela parta tha
wo sarma ki dhoop main dhul kar nikalti thi

usko apnay saay say dar lagta tha
soch kay sehra main wo tanha hirni thi

atay jatay mausam usko dastay thay
hanstay hanstay palkon say roo parti thi

adhi raaat ganwa dayti thi chup reh kar
adhi raat kay chand say batain karti thi

dooor say ujray mandir jaisa ghar uska
wo apnay ghar main ikloti dayvi thi!

moom say nazuk jism sehr ko dukhta tha
diyeh jala kar shab-ber aap pighalti thi!

taiz hawa ko rok kay apnay anchal per
sookhay phool ikathay karti phirti thi

sab per zahir kar dayti thi bhaid apna
sab say ik tasveer chuppaye rakhti thi

kaal shab chikna chor hua tha dil uska
ya phit pehli baar wo khul kay roeee thi

mohsin kia janay kiyon dhoop say bay-perwa
wo apnay ghar ki dehleez per baithi thi?
