karke ishara chhat par bula lete the

karke ishara chhat par bula lete the

hum bhi chhupe-rustam the, 

taaron ke badalon mein chupate hi chand se ishq farma lete the. 

***

jaadon ki raaton mein woh chhat par saath thehalana bhi kya khoob hota tha

kambal mein usko dhak kar

baahon mein apni bhar lete the.

***

kisi deewar ke kone mein jakar baith jana

sar ko sar se tikaye, meethi baatein karte jana

oos ki boondon mein bheegana aur andar hi andar sulagate jana

kabhi khud parwane ki tarah jalte the, kabhi usko jala dete the.

***

woh bhi daur-e-ishq tha romil

jab hum mehboob ko khuda, khuda ko mehboob samajhate the.
