teri narm lahron pe rakkhe diye
apne baqi ke hamrah gum ho chuke hain

duaon, tamannaon, khwabon ka mausam
aziyyat ke kichad mein luthda pada hai

khaton ke lifafe
huruf o mani ke rangon se

khali pade hain
kinaron se dali gai

darakht ki surkh-ru sazishi pattiyan
raston ke nishan kho chuki hain

magar
agle din ke hasin khwab

arize ki dali
abhi tak kahin kanpti hai
