Barish ke baad...

Bundo ki ruh jaise fiza me udti si hai...

Barish k baad ka ye dhua

lamppost se latka

hawa me atka...

Dhundhla thanda...

Ankho k aage os k parde sa...

Chhup nahi sakte iski ot me

chhu nahi sakte

ankho ki galti ya samajh ka pher bhi ho sakta hai ...

khoye pyar ki yaad sa...

na hoke bhi kahi gale me atka

koi dekhe koi dekh k bhi na dekh paaye

samajh k pare ek ehsas sa

sagar k beech kashti me pyaas sa

badalo ke khoye tukre sote hue zami pe

kisi shayar ki aankh me bhare jasbaat sa...

Bundo ki ruh hai,

barish phir se aayegi, to dhul jayegi...

Warna subah ki dhup ke saath

phir bund ban k

peshani pe utar aayegi...

Inteha

Ik inteha hai yeh bhi ki ab tak intezar hai,

is rah ki waise to manzil kahi nahi...

Ankhe thake bhi haar k sapne nahi thakte,

din ki kasauti pe inki kimat yun kuch nahi.

Hatho se dhanpte hai ankhe chand se chupne...

Chubhti hai ankho me teri tasveer chand me.

Jalte charago ko bujha khud ko jalaya hai...

Yun to ujalo se bhi ab ummed kuch nahi.

Koi khushbu nahi faza me magar...

Tere tasavvur se mehki raat me soye kaise...

Meri tanhalyi ka sabab teri yade hi to hai...

Teri yado se saji raat me soye kaise....

Aise kitni jalayi raate kitne din khoye....

Rakh me sulgi hui raat me soye kaise.

Udte badal me bawandar hai chupa bund nahi ...

Jaante hai hum ye baat to soye kaise.

Jite to hain magar gin paye na apni sanse...

Aise uljhe hue halat me soye kaise...

Khoyi aankho se pata subah ka puchche kaise...

Besabab behte hai jsbat hum soye kaise...
