jab hum donon juda hue the
us ne pahni sarma ki raaton mein nikle chand ki sadi

main ne pahna
apni ban-basi ka chola

us ne mangi dhup
jo barfon par chamki thi aur hansi ke dariya mein bahte hue

hum tak pahunchi thi
main ne mangi ghas mein giri hui aawaz

us ke hath mein
aath pahar ke khwab ka chhota bachcha tha

mere hath mein waqt ne apne bij se bahar panw rakha
us ki aankh mein naw dubi

meri aankh mein ek parinda dar ke dubka
us ke hont pe mere nam ka saya tha

mere hont pe us ke jism ki barish thi
us ke dil mein gum-gashta tahzibon jaisi khamoshi thi

mere dil mein tez hawa ki yaad mein khoya mausam tha
us ke panw hairat ki sidhi se niche utar rahe the

mere panw dil ki zamin se lipat rahe the
jab hum donon juda hue the

aadha bosa aadha aansu dil mein raha
