kahin ek maasoom naazuk si larki
bahut khoobsurat magar saanvali si
mujhe apne Kvaabon ki baahon mein paa kar
kabhi neend mein muskurati tho hogi
ussi neend mein kasamasaa-kasamasaakar
saraahane se takhiye giraati tho hogi
wohi Kvaab din ke munderon pe aake
usse mann hi mann mein lubhaate tho honge
kayi saaz seene ki khaamoshiyon mein
meri yaad mein jhanjhanaate tho honge
woh besaakhtaa dheeme-dheeme suron mein
meri dhun mein kuch gungunaathi tho hogi
chalo khat likhein jee mein aatha tho hoga
magar ungaliyan kanp-kanpaati tho hongi
kalam haath se choot jaata tho hoga
umangein kalam phir uthaati to hongi
mera naam apani kitaabon pe likh kar
woh daanton mein ungali dabaati tho hogi
zubaan se kabhi ‘uff’ nikalti tho hogi
badan dheeme-dheeme sulagtha to hoga
kahin ke kahin paoon parthe tho hongein
zameen par dupatta laaktha to hoga
kabhi subah ko shaam kehthi tho hogi
kabhi raat ko din bataati tho hogi
kahin ek maasoom naazuk si larki
bahut khoobsurat magar saanvali si
