dhup ka zaiqa

dhuup kī sargoshī se

zamīn kī bhurnhurī miTTī murta.ish huī

safedī surḳhī meñ Dhalī

yā phir zarḳhezī banjar huī

hairat tazabzub kā shikār hai

thakan zindagī se baḌh rahī hai

ukhaḌtī sāñsoñ kī

alvidā'ī mahak se

kamra udaas hai

side Table pe dhare pen

aur diary

muntazir haiñ

shāyad

ki āḳhirī shaam un pe darj kī jaa.e

palkoñ ke pīchhe

chhupī āñkhoñ ke ḳhvāb niile ho chuke haiñ

intizār kī āḳhirī karvaT se sanjīda sī hañsī kī āmezish

lahū rang

āñsūoñ meñ ghul kar so ga.ī hai

dhuup kā zā.iqa hifz karnā āsān nahīñ hotā

dhup ki sargoshi se

zamin ki bhurnhuri miTTi murtaish hui

safedi surKHi mein Dhali

ya phir zarKHezi banjar hui

hairat tazabzub ka shikar hai

thakan zindagi se baDh rahi hai

ukhaDti sanson ki

alwida'i mahak se

kamra udas hai

side Table pe dhare pen

aur diary

muntazir hain

shayad

ki aaKHiri sham un pe darj ki jae

palkon ke pichhe

chhupi aankhon ke KHwab nile ho chuke hain

intizar ki aaKHiri karwaT se sanjida si hansi ki aamezish

lahu rang

aansuon mein ghul kar so gai hai

dhup ka zaiqa hifz karna aasan nahin hota
