jab tak khuli nahin thi asrar lag rahi thi ye zindagi mujhe bhi dushwar lag rahi thi mujh par jhuki hui thi phulon ki ek dali lekin wo mere sar par talwar lag rahi thi chhute hi jaane kaise qadmon mein aa giri wo jo fasle se unchi diwar lag rahi thi shahron mein aa ke kaise aahista-rau hua main sahra mein tez apni raftar lag rahi thi lahron ke jagne par kuchh bhi na kaam aai kya chiz thi jo mujh ko patwar lag rahi thi ab kitni kar-amad jangal mein lag rahi hai wo raushni jo ghar mein bekar lag rahi thi tuta hua hai shayad wo bhi hamare jaisa aawaz us ki jaise jhankar lag rahi thi 'alam' ghazal mein dhal kar kya khub lag rahi hai jo tis mere dil ka aazar lag rahi thi
