dekho ja kar us se kaho

kiss kadar aasaan he
us k lye
kisi ko apni zaat se munslik kar k
apne naam ki pehchaan cheen lena
dekho ja kar us se kaho
youn na rishto ko be-naam kare
woh k jis ne
aabad na kye the
kisi ki yaad se man aangan k dareeche
us ki chahat ka
yeh, to na anjaam kare
gar torna hi he khaloos ka har rishta
to chupke se aa kar
us ki muthi se
apni chaht k woh tamam jugnoo le le
jo us ne tujh se waabasta hote hi
beghair ehid-o-peeman k mutahhid kye the
dekho ja kar us se kaho.........
