"Harjaai"

Jab usey nigaahon ne
Pehli baar dekha tha,
Us se guftgu ki thi
Dil ko us ki soorat ne
Apni or kheincha tha
Phir ehed mohabbat ka
Main ne us se baandha tha
Jab wo narm lehje mein
Dil ki be-qaraari ki,
Neend se bicharrne ki,
Muntazir nigaahon ki,
Karvattein badalne ki
Daastaa(n) sunaata tha
Aarzu ye hoti thi
Hashr tak ki fursat ho,
Dard-e-dil ki baatein hon,
Us ka narm lehja ho
Aur meri samaa'at ho
Haan magar samaa'at ko
Us ki is kahaani se
Ab nahi hai dilchasbi
Kiyun k aaj kal dil ko
Aik aur soorat ka
Bhol-pan bulaata hai
Dharrkanein barrhaata hai
Aur udhar wo be-chaara
Ab bhi apne seene mein
Pyaar ka dia le kar
Be-qaraar phirta hai
Ab kabhi jo milne ko
Wo mujhe bulaata hai
Sochti hoon ukta k
"Phir wohi mohabbat ki
Raagni sunaaye ga,
Phir mujhe bataaye ga
Intezaar kitna tha"
