ham havaa se bachaa rahe the jinhein — Aleena Itrat

gahre samundaron mein utarne ki le ke aas
baiThe hue hai ek kinaare hamaare khvaab

udaasi shaam tanhaai kasak yaadon ki bechaini
mujhe sab saunp kar suraj utar jaataa hai paani mein

shadid dhuup mein saare darakht suukh gae
bas ik duaa kaa shajar thaa jo be-samar na huaa

abhi to chaak pe jaari hai raqs miTTi kaa
abhi kumhaar ki niyyat badal bhi sakti hai

apni muTThi mein chhupaa kar kisi jugnu ki tarah
ham tire naam ko chupke se paDhaa karte hain

jin ke mazbut iraade bane pahchaan un ki
manzilein aap hi ho jaati hain aasaan un ki
