koi mujh se kahta hai sargoshiyon mein
kabhi aaine ko

sanwaro sajao to dekho
ki is aaine mein tumhaare siwa

aur koi nahin hai
ye parchhaiyan ye shabihen

to sab aks hain
un zamanon ka aise mazi ka

tarikh jis ko apna banane se
inkar karti hai

ki is mein koi aks jhuta nahin hai
magar sach bhi to is kahani ka ek nahin hai

tumhaara tasawwur
tumhaara takhayyul to ek dewta hai

wahi dewta jo azal se
mohabbat ka markaz

mohabbat ka mehwar raha hai
badi sadhna se lagan se

duaon se
us ko bulaya

ki aaina raushan ho
aankh us ko dekhe

magar kis ko dekhe
ki jab bhi ye aaina raushan hua hai

mera aks khud
meri aankhon ka parda bana hai
