mera bachpan hi mujhe yaad dilane aae
phir hatheli pe koi nam likhane aae

aa ke chupke se koi chikh pade kanon mein
gudgudane na sahi aae darane aae

lut le aa ke meri subh ki mithi ninden
main kahan kahta hun wo mujh ko jagane aae

mere aangan mein na jugnu hain na titli na gulab
koi aae bhi to ab kis ke bahane aae

der tak thahri rahi palkon pe yaadon ki baraat
nind aai to kai khwab suhane aae
