main nahin aaya tumhaare dvaar
path hee mud gaya tha.
gati milee main chal pada
path par kaheen rukana mana tha,
raah anadekhee, ajaana desh
sangee anasuna tha.
chaand sooraj kee tarah chalata
na jaana raat din hai,
kis tarah ham tum gae mil
aaj bhee kahana kathin hai,
tan na aaya maangane abhisaar
man hee jud gaya tha.
dekh mere pankh chal, gatimay
lata bhee lahalahaee
patr aanchal mein chhipae mukh
kalee bhee muskuraee.
ek kshan ko tham gae daine
samajh vishraam ka pal
par prabal sangharsh banakar
aa gaee aandhee sadalabal.
daal jhoomee, par na tootee
kintu panchhee ud gaya tha.
