बुझती रात

ek aas jagi phir sholon mein,

jo raakh mein chup k baithe the,

jo marte marte jeete the '

aur jeete jeete marte the,

kaaali si raat thi aankhon mein,

ashkon ka beheta dariya tha,

jaane kisne saahilon pe ,

kajal ke jahaaj duboye the,

apni bhi fiza anokhi thi,

baharon se lad k baith gayi,

un baagon mein bastiyan khili,

jahan phoolon ne gulshal khilaye the,

dheere dheere dhudhlata dhuan,

aahista se vo chathata shor,

nagin si jhulfein,patli kamar,

aur najron ka na koi chhoor,

kaale dil gore chehere the,

jo dil ki jubaan pe behere the,

hamne bhi naa koi baat kahi,

hothon pe itne pehere the
