mire sandūq meñ
kuchh bhī nahīñ thā chand socheñ thiiñ
bahut sī putliyāñ thiiñ aur āñkheñ thiiñ
jinheñ maiñ aañkh vāloñ kī dukāñ se maañg laayā thā
mire sandūq meñ ik martabāñ thā
jis meñ bādal the havā.eñ thiiñ kisī dariyā kī quvvat thī
maiñ apne dukh uThā kar sukh kī nagrī meñ chalā aaya
mire sandūq meñ ik aa.ina thā
jo mujhe chehre dikhātā
saat darzoñ par jo parde the
unheñ āhista āhista haTātā
ziist ke nange badan kī dāstāñ mujh ko sunātā muskurātā
mujhe ā.īna gintī bhī sikhātā
nau adad tak rok detā thā
mujhe ma.alūm thā
nau ke adad meñ ism-e-āzam hai
hayāt-e-nau isī nau ke adad kā rāz-e-sar-basta
ye nau din aur nau rātoñ kā ik rangīñ drama hai
phir is ke baad
ḳhālī sifr tak kuchh hone vaalā hai
mere sanduq mein
kuchh bhi nahin tha chand sochen thin
bahut si putliyan thin aur aankhen thin
jinhen main aankh walon ki dukan se mang laya tha
mere sanduq mein ek martaban tha
jis mein baadal the hawaen thin kisi dariya ki quwwat thi
main apne dukh uTha kar sukh ki nagri mein chala aaya
mere sanduq mein ek aaina tha
jo mujhe chehre dikhata
sat darzon par jo parde the
unhen aahista aahista haTata
zist ke nange badan ki dastan mujh ko sunata muskuraata
mujhe aaina ginti bhi sikhata
nau adad tak rok deta tha
mujhe malum tha
nau ke adad mein ism-e-azam hai
hayat-e-nau isi nau ke adad ka raaz-e-sar-basta
ye nau din aur nau raaton ka ek rangin drama hai
phir is ke baad
KHali sifr tak kuchh hone wala hai
