Kho gaya woh shaayar...

Teri kitaab ke panno ki awaaz aati hai mujhe..
woh kalam ki siyahi ki khushboo bhi yaad aati hai..
jab padhti thi tumhare dil ka haal un shabdon mein..
kyun ab likhta nahi hai, mere shaayar?
kabhi fursat se mera khayal aaye to
chhu lena un panno ko bhi ek baar..
woh panno ko jab aanson geela karte the
aur kabhi dekh kar chehra muskuraya bhi..
jisko thaame tumne kitne pal bitaaye..
apni yaadon ko bhi inmein piroya hai..
Fir chaahe us pyar ki mithaas ho
ya us nafrat ki kadhwahat..
kar waqt ka swaad chakha hai tere aksharoon ne..
tanhai ki chaadar mein lapete hue
tute hue dil ke tukde samete hue..
tumhare dil ki jhalak aa jati thi mujhe..
aaj taras jaati hoon tujhe dekhne ke liye..
kam-se-kam teri shayari to dikha de mujhe..
kahan kho gaya hai tu.. aur teri shayari..
