jab bhii chuum letaa huN un hasiiN aaNkhoN ko
sau chiraaGh andhere meN jhilmilaane lagte haiN
Khushk Khushk hoNTon meN jaise dil kheNch aataa hai
dil meN kitne aa’iine TharTharaane lagte haiN
phuul kyaa, shiGhuufe kyaa, chaaNd kyaa, sitaare kyaa
sab raqiib qadmoN par sar jhukaane lagte haiN
zehn jaag uThtaa hai, ruuh jaag uThtii hai
naqsh aadmiyaat ke jagmagaane lagte haiN
lau nikalne lagtii hai mandiroN ke siine se
devtaa fazaaoN meN muskuraane lagte haiN
raqs karne lagtii haiN muurateN Ajanta kii
muddatoN ke lab-bastaa Gaar gaane lagte haiN
phuul khilne lagte haiN ujRe ujRe gulshan meN
tishnaa-tishnaa getii (?) par abr chhaane lagte haiN
lamha bhar ko ye duniyaa zulm chhoR detii hai
lamhaa bhar ko sab patthar muskuraane lagte haiN
