khilte phulon jaisi thi
ye duniya kabhi achchhi thi

git the us ki aankhon mein
sham bhi mahki mahki thi

nae dar khulte dekhe the
meri nazar jab bahki thi

us ke jism ke shoale se
dil ki basti chamki thi

main us khwab ka hissa tha
wo jis khwab mein rahti thi

jis ne mera dil toda
wo to pariyon jaisi thi

subh saba ki aankhon mein
raat wo chand mein rahti thi
