mera kamre se bas nindon ka rishta tha

mera kamre se bas nindon ka rishta tha
aur us zine se khwabon ka
jo lahraata hua jata tha chhat tak
wo chhat


jahan se aasman nazdik tha
jahan aaram farmati thin aankhen
wo aankhen jin mein sapne the
wo sapne jin mein duniya thi


wo duniya jis mein sab kuchh tha
wahi chhat
jahan par ek chidiya ki surili chahchahahat thi
patangon ki sajawat thi


falak ki jhilmilahat thi
magar afsos
wo chidiya jo sawere ghar mein sabse pahle uthti thi
kise ma'lum tha ek din wo zer-e-dam aaegi


patang-e-kaghazi jo aasman chhune hi wali thi
kise ma'lum tha wo laut kar nakaam aaegi
falak jis par tamannaon ke kitne chand raushan the
kise ma'lum tha us par amawas ki bhi koi sham aaegi


wo chhat jo ghar ka sabse pur-sukun aur pyara hissa thi
kise ma'lum tha wo khud-kushi ke kaam aaegi
