chehare par phail aae baalon ko,
apanee alasaaee ungaliyo se haTaayaa thaa,
kuchh samay khud me hee khone ke baad
jab tumhaaree taraph़ dekhaa to,
tum abhee bhee so rahe the,
tumhe chhune kee koshish me,
maine haath bhee baDh़aayaa thaa,
par tum tab bhee so rahe the,
kuchh khaalee saa lagaa mujhe mujhamen
TaTolane kaa man bhee huaa
shaayad koee konaa kaheen band paD़aa ho
aur mere Dhoo(n)Dhane par mil jaae vo
par kaheen kuchh abhee bhee soonaa thaa
ek jhunjhalaahaT see huee khud par
veham hai shaayad meraa
kah kar khud ko jhiD़k diyaa maine
magar vah khaalee konaa abhee bhee chiDh़aa rahaa thaa
himmat baTor kar main us kone se hee poochhaa,
kyaa chaahie tujhe?
ab aur kyaa baakee hai?
usane tanik dabee ha(n)see se kahaa,
ye moorakh kise banaatee ho?
jise chhukar usake hone kaa yakeen khud ko dilaatee ho,
kyaa sach me use hee paanaa chaahatee ho?
lagaa kee choree pakaD़ lee gayee ho meree,
har sparsh men mainne jo mahasoos kiyaa
kyaa sirph़ tumhaaree aakulataa nahee thee?
ek j़roorat,
usake aage sab shoony thaa
aur yahee shoony ab us kone me jaa baiThaa thaa
