ko_ii cheharaa huaa roshan na ujaagar aa.Nkhe.n
aa_iinaa dekh rahii thii.n merii patthar aa.Nkhe.n

le u.Dii vaqt ki aa.Ndhii jinhe.n apane ham_raah
aaj phir Dhuu.NDh rahii hai.n vahii manzar aa.Nkhe.n

phuuT nikalii.n to ka_ii shahar-e-tamannaa Duube
ek qatre ko tarasatii hu_ii banjar aa.Nkhe.n

us ko dekhaa hai to ab shauq kaa vo aalam hai
apane halako.n se nikal aa_ii hai.n baahar aa.Nkhe.n

tuu nigaaho.n kii zubaa.N Khuub samajhataa hogaa
terii jaanib to uThaa karatii hai.n aksar aa.Nkhe.n

log marate na dar-o-baam se Takaraa ke kabhii
dekh lete jo 'Kamaal' us kii samandar aa.Nkhe.n
