vo ko_ii aur na thaa chand Khushk patte the
shajar se TuuT ke jo fasl-e-gul pe roye the
abhii abhii tumhe.n sochaa to kuchh na yaad aayaa
abhii abhii to ham ek-duusare se bichha.De the
tumhaare baad chaman par jab ik nazar Daalii
kalii kalii me.n Khizaa.N ke chiraaG jalate the
tamaam umr vafaa ke gunaah_gaar rahe
ye aur baat ki ham aadamii to achchhe the
shab-e-Khaamosh ko tanhaa_ii ne zabaa.N de dii
pahaa.D guu.Njate the dasht san_sanaate the
vo ek baar mare jin ko thaa hayaat se pyaar
jo zindagii se gurezaa.N the roz marate the
naye Khayaal ab aate hai.n Dhal ke zahan me.n
hamaare dil me.n kabhii khet lah_lahaate the
ye iratiqaa kaa chalan hai ki har zamaane me.n
puraane log naye aadamii se Darate the
'Nadeem' jo bhii mulaaqaat thii adhuurii thii
ki ek chehare ke piichhe hazaar chehare the
