zat ke karb ko lafzon mein dabae rakkha
zaat ke karb ko lafzoñ meñ dabā.e rakkhā
mez par terī kitāboñ ko sajā.e rakkhā
tū ne ik shaam jo aane kā kiyā thā va.ada
maiñ ne din-rāt charāġhoñ ko jalā.e rakkhā
kis salīqe se ḳhayāloñ ko zabāñ de de kar
mujh ko us shaḳhs ne bātoñ meñ lagā.e rakhā
maiñ vo siitā ki jo lachhman ke hisāroñ meñ rahī
ham vo jogī ki alakh phir bhī jagā.e rakkhā
shāyad aa jaa.e kisī roz vo sajda karne
isī ummīd pe āñchal ko bichhā.e rakkhā
chūḌiyāñ rakh na sakīñ merī namāzoñ kā bharam
phir bhī hāthoñ ko duāoñ meñ uThā.e rakkhā
jaane kyuuñ aa ga.ī phir yaad usī mausam kī
jis ne 'shabnam' ko havāoñ se bachā.e rakkhā
zat ke karb ko lafzon mein dabae rakkha
mez par teri kitabon ko sajae rakkha
tu ne ek sham jo aane ka kiya tha wada
main ne din-raat charaghon ko jalae rakkha
kis saliqe se KHayalon ko zaban de de kar
mujh ko us shaKHs ne baaton mein lagae rakha
main wo sita ki jo lachhman ke hisaron mein rahi
hum wo jogi ki alakh phir bhi jagae rakkha
shayad aa jae kisi roz wo sajda karne
isi ummid pe aanchal ko bichhae rakkha
chuDiyan rakh na sakin meri namazon ka bharam
phir bhi hathon ko duaon mein uThae rakkha
jaane kyun aa gai phir yaad usi mausam ki
jis ne 'shabnam' ko hawaon se bachae rakkha
