'nazar aayi jo mujhe
tum us din.
usi din ruk gayi jaise ye zindagi

bholi si wo surat,
masoom si murat
kya kahu
koi pari khoobsurat…..

aaj bhi usi jagah khada hu main
ye soch ke ki
kal ka ittefaq shayad aaj bhi hoga
aaj bhi aaogi tum
nazron ka nazron se
milna aaj bhi hoga

na jaane yuhi kitne din gujar gaye,
par tum na aayi
darta hu khuda ki bandagi se,
tumhare bina jeene ki soch ke
darta hu is zindagi se

par aaj bhi hai aas
aaj bhi hai intezaar
ab zindagi ka yahi aalam hai,
isi umeed par ki tum kal zaroor aaogi
meri zindagi ruk si gayi hai……………….
