bayabaan

sahili bayaabaan maiN kal shub
chaudhveeN ka mahtab
khail raha thaa aankh macholi

sahili teelay per
dastaan e hayat e ghum
suntay hu'aye teri yaad
chupkay say youN aee

baataiN, a'da'aiN, woh muskurahat
tughiani lehr e majnooN ki maanind
zeh'n kay her dO goshON say takraeeN

woh bhee bhool gaya daastaaN
aur laga dainay kaandha
fasurdigi ko meri
chand bhee sharma gaya
baadalON ki aghOsh maiN

woh thaa, chand thaa, yaad thee
lehraiN theeN
................... tu na thee
