aisi hi sard sham thi vo bhi
jab vo mahndi rachaye hathon main
apni ahat k khauf se larazan
surkh anchal main munh chipaye hue
apne khat mujh se lene ai thi
us ki sahmi hui nigahon main
kitni khamosh iltijayen thin
us k chehre ki zard rangat main
kitni majaburiyon k saye the
mere hathon se khat pakarte hi
jane kya soch kar achanak vo
mera shana pakar kar roi thi
us k yaqut rang honthon k
kapkapate hue kinaron par
saikaron ankahe fasane the
sard shamon main der tak aksar
jab ye manzar dikhai deta hai
ek lamha hinai hathon se
mujh ko apani taraf bulata hai
hamnashin ruth kar na ja mujh se
aisi hi sard sham thi vo bhi
