Yaado'n ka Kaarvaan

Bachpan k kacche makaan se shuru yaado'n ka kaarvaan
guzra khalish ki andhiyaari galiyon se dare-sehme
aur di dastak dil ki haveli pe.

Oonche darwaazo'n ki chatakhniyaan
shayad isi aahat ke intezaar mein thi
ki kab koi bhoola-bisra aake
unhe un taalo'n se aazaad karega
jinki kaid mein rehte-rehte
ab ghaavo'n k nishaa'n bhi karaahne lage hain.
