........“neend“.........

“neend bhi badi bewafa hoti hai

hoti jab zarurat uski to usi waqt humse khafa hoti hai

har roz rehta hai besabri se intezaar uska

par uske mutaabik hi wo humpar fanaa hoti hai

jin khaaboN ko paane ki hai tamanna hume

un khaaboN ki wahi to chasm-deed gawah hoti hai

jiyu badti rehti hai umr humari

Kisi khudgarz ki tarah humse wo juda hoti hai

na aana uska kisi k liye marz to aana kisi k marz ki dawa hoti hai

aaghaaz se lekar anzaam tak wahi to humari

pehli humkadam aur aakhri humnawa hoti hai“
