pahli bar wo KHat likkha tha
pahlī baar vo ḳhat likkhā thā
jis kā javāb bhī aa saktā thā
ḳhud afvāh uḌātā thā maiñ
ḳhud hī yaqīñ bhī kar letā thā
us se kaho us ruup meñ aa.e
jaisā pahlī nazar meñ lagā thā
bhuul chukā thā de ke sadā maiñ
tab jañgal kā javāb aayā thā
ham to parā.e the is ghar meñ
ham se kaun ḳhafā hotā thā
TuuT ga.e is koshish meñ ham
apnī taraf jhuknā chāhā thā
ulajh rahī thī aañkh kahīñ par
koī mujhe pahchān rahā thā
TuuT gayā phir ġham kā nasha bhī
dukh kitnā sukh de saktā thā
jagah jagah se TuuT rahā huuñ
kis ne mujhe chhū kar dekhā thā
kitne sachche dil se ham ne
apnā apnā jhuuT kahā thā
pahlī baar maiñ us kī ḳhātir
apne liye kuchh soch rahā thā
itne samjhāne vaale the
maiñ kuchh kaise samajh saktā thā
baḌī baḌī āñkhoñ meñ us kī
koī savāl huā kartā thā
pahli bar wo KHat likkha tha
jis ka jawab bhi aa sakta tha
KHud afwah uData tha main
KHud hi yaqin bhi kar leta tha
us se kaho us rup mein aae
jaisa pahli nazar mein laga tha
bhul chuka tha de ke sada main
tab jangal ka jawab aaya tha
hum to parae the is ghar mein
hum se kaun KHafa hota tha
TuT gae is koshish mein hum
apni taraf jhukna chaha tha
ulajh rahi thi aankh kahin par
koi mujhe pahchan raha tha
TuT gaya phir gham ka nasha bhi
dukh kitna sukh de sakta tha
jagah jagah se TuT raha hun
kis ne mujhe chhu kar dekha tha
kitne sachche dil se hum ne
apna apna jhuT kaha tha
pahli bar main us ki KHatir
apne liye kuchh soch raha tha
itne samjhane wale the
main kuchh kaise samajh sakta tha
baDi baDi aankhon mein us ki
koi sawal hua karta tha
