ek ruthi udas sham ko jab
kitni parten purani yaadon ki

kaise jhakjhorti hain aa ke mujhe
kholne ko atit ki chadar

gher leti hai anayas aa kar
wo jo dhundli si ho chuki hai ab

wahi taswiren ubhar aati hain
mere mazi ki hai jo parchhain

meri aankhon mein utar jati hai
aur mujh ko bahut rulati hai
