Wo ek mulaqaat...

Na jaane kyu aaj ka din ek aisa aaftaab de gaya,
Mujhe puraani kuchh yaadon ka khitaab de gaya...
Uske sang bitaya har lamha meri nazron ke saamne tha,
Na jaane kaisa aansuon ka mujhko sailaab de gaya...

Main to har roz apne yaaron se milne jaata tha...
Kuchh purani baaton ko taza karne jaata tha...
Na maloom tha kisi ki chahat ban raha hu,
Anjaane me yu kisi ka humraaz hone jaata tha...

Ek din khabar mili ki kisiko ishq hai mujhse...
Beintehaan beshumaar behad mere dil se...
Meri gaflat-kesh baaton se jisko sukoon aata tha,
Wo khud ko jala lete the mere aashiq mizaaj se...

Fir ek shaam humaari mulaqaat huyi...
Uss roz shaafaq ki alag hi baat huyi...
mere labon ne uske labon ko chhu liya,
Haan sach uss roz khud se hi guftuguu ki raat huyi..

Meri zindagi ka sabse nayaab thohfa thi wo...
Meri khwahishon ki kishti ka dariya thi wo...
wo meri har chhoti badi khushiyon ki wajah ban gayi,
Meri khud se mulaqaaton ka zariya thi wo...

Sambhal kar rakha hai mene uski har tasveer ko...
Jaane kaisi nazar lag gayi hamari taqdeer ko...
Main aaj bhi waqt se minnaten karta hu,
Ki ab to milwa do iss raanjhe se uski heer ko...
