bite mausam ki khushbu se
mahke titli lamhe

khushk labon ko chhu lete hain sari kadwahat tan-man ki
ek ghazal ho jati hai

kabhi kahin koi sachchi bani koi dipak sa lahja
maddham sur mein dhalta hai

aksar aisa hota hai
dhol pitte lafz na jaane kaise gum ho jate hain

ek surili si shahnai
prem-sudha ban jati hai

aksar aisa hota hai
