tum mujhe poochhate ho ‘jaoon’?
main kya javaab doon, tumheen kaho!
‘ja…’ kahate rukatee hai jabaan
kis munh se tumase kahoon ‘raho’!!
seva karana tha jahaan mujhe
kuchh bhakti-bhaav darasaana tha.
un krpa-kataakshon ka badala
bali hokar jahaan chukaana tha.
main sada roothatee hee aaee,
priy! tumhen na mainne pahachaana.
vah maan baan-sa chubhata hai,
ab dekh tumhaara yah jaana.
chalate samay
