Kitne baras lage
ye janne main
k mere ander tera hona kia hai
aisa hona bhi chahiye tha
shaam hote hi
chaand main roshni nahi aajati
raat hote hi
raat ki rani mehak nahin utth'ti
shaam our khushboo k beech
aik aisa lamha hota hai
jis ka humari zameen se koi taa'lluq nahin hota
us aasmaani lamhe ne
ab humain choo liya hai ...!!
