bahut dekhii hain

bahut dekhii hain aankhein takatii hui
kum hi milti hain nighahein dhoondti hui
main to kho hi gaya tha un palkoon mein
jab woh pehli baar jhapakne neeche hui

jo hosh gaya tha mujhe na aaya ab tak ki
be_hoshi mein unki nigahoon se baat hui
na bola kuch main, na bole kuch woh aur
aankhoon aakhoon mein hi hazaar baat hui

roz milta hoon khwab mein un aankhoon se
ki unke bina mujhe na koi raat gawaar hui
yun tadpata hai woh manzar subah jagne par
ki har subah fir un anhkhoon ki talash hui

dhoondta har gali main unki nighahoon ko
par aaj tak palkoon mein na waisi baat hui
woh kahin chup chup ke dekh rahe hain yeh
ke beemar ki aankhoon mein kitni aas hui
