Zehra Nigaah
janan! kya ye ho sakta hai
aaj ki shaam kahin nahin jaaen
shor machane vaale fiite
avazon se bhare tave
sab thodi der ko chup ho jaaen
janan! kya ye ho sakta hai
is pyari mashrub ke paimane bhi na chhalken
jin ke bal-bute pe hamari khush-akhlaqi
aam hui hai
aur na mauzuat ke laave munh se ublen
aise log ki jin ke chehre bahut bade aur dil chhote hain
aaj hamen surat na dikhaen
thodi der ko tanhai ki halki khunki basi rahe
log gharon men aur botal almari hi men saji rahe
ham donon us kamre men hon
jis ki divaron pe hamare sukh ke bandhan
tasviron ki shakl men avezan rahte hain
jis men rakkhe kaath ke ghode
kot ke hathi
sab ham ko takte rahte hain
jis men baithi kanch ki chidiyan
ham ko dekh ke dar si gai hain
jis men rakkhi kai kitaben
ham se ruuth ke mar si gai hain
ham donon tanha hon
thodi der ko gum-sum se baithen
phir rafta rafta bat-chit ke
chhote chhote phuul khilen
qurbat ki garmi se pashemani ke aansu
diye ki tarah se jal utthen
janan kya ye ho sakta hai
ab bhi mera dil kahta hai
shayad aisa ho sakta hai
