rukhsat hote suraj ki kirnon ka aanchal thame thame
main bhi chhat par ja pahunchi thi

mere gile-shikwe to sare gunge ban baithe the
aur meri kuchh kahti aankhen

bara-dari ki chilman ke haalon mein phansti thin
phir kyun ganw se jate jate

gali ke mod pe rukte rukte
tum ne upar, meri jaanib dekha tha

aur tumhaara uthta hath zara sa kanp gaya tha
aur tumhaari raushan raushan aankhen bujh si gai thin

dur ufuq mein suraj dub gaya tha
