tasveer

Aaj tumhari tasveer daraaj mein paddi mili, 

Ajeeb laga thoda, kyunki tum mujhe ajnabee se lage,

Hamari pehli aur aakhiri mulaaqaat beeti sadi si lagi, 

Tumhara chehra zaroor nazar mein dhundhlaaya zara,

Ashq lekin ek bhi na meri aankhon ko chhoo saka,

Woh har lamha jo tumko bhulaane mein guzaara,

Uska ek ehsaas yaad karne se bhi na yaad aaya,

Tasveer maine waapas daraaj mein nahin rakhi, 

'Geet' ko yaad kar ke, jala kar flush kar di, 

Aur khud ko dekh aayeene mein main muskaayi, 

Yeh dekh kar, ki main mujhmein phir laut aayi.
