woh mann se sundar thi...

ab aksar chup-chup kar ro laite hain

jinki muskaan phool kheela daite thi...

ab aksar chup-chap rehti hain

jinki baatein sabko haansa daite thi...

***

uska udas chehara to dekho

hooton main thehari haansi to dekho

pass se guzare to haawan bhi nahi udati hain

jiski mehak, gulsan mehka daite thi...

***

aansoo ka jo suru hua hain silsila girane ka thamta nahi hain

woh roote hue ke hoonton par muskaan saaja daite thi...

andheroon main rehti hain roshani main aati nahi hain

jo subah ka suraj hua karti thi...

khuda ka itna sitam kisi par maine dekha nahi hain

ab kya kahe uski baatein

woh mann se sundar thi...

woh mann se sundar thi...
