Ek Patinga, Tanha Tanha

[ Nazm ]

Ek patinga...
Tanha tanha.!

Shaam dhhale is fikr mein tha,
Ye tanhaai kaise kategi?

Raat hui,
Aur shama jali,

Maghmum patinga jhoom utha,
Hanste hanste raat kategi...

Subah hui...
Aur sab ne dekha,

Raakh patinge ki ud ud kar,
Shama ko har su dhundh rahi thi.!!
