anjaan thi zindgi se jab kisi ke haathon mein haath dhara tha
apne zism-o-jaan ko jab kisi ke hawale kara tha
na maloom thi bediyan usse iss mang ke sindhoor ki
kitni masoomiyat se jab maang mein lal rang bhara tha
dil bhi khil raha tha haath mein khilti mehndi dekh kar
hazaron sapne thay dil mein jab mehndi ka rang hara tha
apno ko chod kar ik nayi duniya basa rahi thi
baabul ki beti ka dil kabhi itna na darra tha
samjh rahi thi har raah pe bas phool hi phool honge
pathron se bhi takrayegi, ye ilm usse na zara tha
mayike ke aangan mein chehakti thi ek sehzadi si vo
adhoori khwahishen dekh dil kabhi bhi usska na mara tha
