EK LAMHA.......YAADON KI GALIYON SE

Yaadon ki galiyaan ghoomtey huye,

Kuch palon se mulaqaat huyi,

Beetey waqt ke pehlu mein chhupi,

Un lamhon se jab baat huyi...

Nazar aayi ek dhundhli tasveer,

bachpan ki mere aangan ki,

Dhoop mein tapti baagon ki,

Chhaaon bhari Maa ke daaman ki...

Hauley se jab aankhein bhar aayi,

Dheere se woh tasveer saaf huyi,

Beetey waqt ke pehlu mein chhupi,

Un lamhon se jab baat huyi...

Kadi dhoop mein khelne nikalta tha jab,

Takti rehti thi maa ki nazrein,

khelte-khelte shaam hoti jab,

Khelte-khelte shaam se guzrein...

Paate Maa ko dar par khade,

Ghar pohoncha main jab raat huyi,

Beetey waqt ke pehlu mein chhupi,

Un lamho se jab baat huyi...
