Kuch Chehre

Ek chehra jo aankho ko bhaye,

Ek chehra jo mann ko lalchaye,

Ek chehra jo dil main bas jaye,

Ek chehra jo kabhi bhula na paye…

***

Ek chehra jo raato ki nind udaye,

Ek chehra jo raat bhar jagaye,

Ek chehra jo aankho k khulte he paas paye,

Ek chehra jo us pal ki yaad dilaye…

***

Ek chehra jo akelepan main yaad aaye,

Ek chehra jo harazo ki bheed main alag nazar aaye,

Ek chehra jo har pal sath nibhaye,

Ek chehra jisme khud ki jhalak paye…

***

Ek chehra jo taaro main nazar aaye,

Ek chehra jo us barish main sath nahaye,

Ek chehra jo bachpan yaad dilaye,

Aur ek chehra jo maut se aghat karate…
