sham ke gesu phaile hue the mahke mahke sae the

shaam ke gesū phaile hue the mahke mahke saa.e the

ham sadiyoñ ke jaage hue the ḳhvāb meñ chal kar aa.e the

shaam ke pichhle zamīnoñ se jab sūraj utrā ghāTī meñ

tanhā.ī ke baḌhte saa.e zahr kā pyāla laa.e the

TuuTe hue ḳhvāboñ kī kircheñ āñkhoñ meñ chubhtī hī rahīñ

haath havā ke poñchhte yuuñ to mere aañsū aa.e the

ġham kī khetī suukh rahī thī dil kī dhartī banjar thī

chhāgal chhāgal aañsū le kar tar karne vo aa.e the

baiThe hue kuchh soch rahe the gaañv ke pīpal ke nīche

bujhtā huā sūraj thā ham the Dhaltī shaam ke saa.e the

bārish kī ik buuñd ko tarsā sahrā dil kā ab ke 'nafīs'

kahne ko to pyaar ke bādal chāroñ taraf hī chhā.e the

sham ke gesu phaile hue the mahke mahke sae the

hum sadiyon ke jage hue the KHwab mein chal kar aae the

sham ke pichhle zaminon se jab suraj utra ghaTi mein

tanhai ke baDhte sae zahr ka pyala lae the

TuTe hue KHwabon ki kirchen aankhon mein chubhti hi rahin

hath hawa ke ponchhte yun to mere aansu aae the

gham ki kheti sukh rahi thi dil ki dharti banjar thi

chhagal chhagal aansu le kar tar karne wo aae the

baiThe hue kuchh soch rahe the ganw ke pipal ke niche

bujhta hua suraj tha hum the Dhalti sham ke sae the

barish ki ek bund ko tarsa sahra dil ka ab ke 'nafis'

kahne ko to pyar ke baadal chaaron taraf hi chhae the
