apnaa hi saudaa kar baiThe — Meena Kumari Naz

ayaadat ko aae shifaa ho gai
miri ruuh tan se judaa ho gai

tere qadmon ki aahaT ko ye dil hai DhunDtaa har dam
har ik aavaaz par ik thartharaahaT hoti jaati hai

puchhte ho to suno kaise basar hoti hai
raat khairaat ki sadqe ki sahar hoti hai

shama huun phuul huun yaa ret pe qadmon kaa nishaan
aap ko haq hai mujhe jo bhi ji chaahe kah lein

aaghaaz to hotaa hai anjaam nahin hotaa
jab meri kahaani mein vo naam nahin hotaa

hansi thami hai in aankhon mein yuun nami ki tarah
chamak uThe hain andhere bhi raushni ki tarah
