ek alaw jalta tha
qissa aankhen malta tha
ek aaseb sa tha koi
jis ka sikka chalta tha
us ke raushan chehre se
kala jadu Talta tha
dil ki kunj kahani mein
sanp sunahri palta tha
chhalni the sab mashkize
KHema KHema jalta tha
gunj kahin roti thi aur
raat ka Dera Dhalta tha
nindon ki Dhalwanon se
ek hi KHwab phisalta tha
surKH sikuDte honTon par
koi harf pighalta tha
sare shahr mein Dar 'tanwir'
panw panw chalta tha
