kis khataa ki sazaa mili us ko — Indira Varma

tumhaare binaa sab adhure hain jaanaan
sabaa phuul khush-bu chaman raushni rang

ye shafaq chaand sitaare nahin achchhe lagte
tum nahin ho to nazaare nahin achchhe lagte

yahi fasaana rahaa hai junun ke sahraa mein
kabhi firaaq ke qisse kabhi visaal ki baat

vaqt khaamosh hai TuuTe hue rishton ki tarah
vo bhalaa kaise mire dil ki khabar paaegaa

shikasta-dil andheri shab akelaa raahbar kyuun ho
na ho jab ham-safar koi to apnaa bhi safar kyuun ho

kitaab-e-zist kaa unvaan ban gae ho tum
hamaare pyaar ki dekho ye intihaa saahab
