Aaj mere pehle khat ka jawaab aaya hai

[Sagar Aashna]

KhushbuoN meiN lipta hua shabaab aaya hai
Aaj mere pehle khat ka jawaab aaya hai

ShokhiyaN haiN, rangat aur mehak hai fiza meiN
Chhoo kar unn ke Dahan ko gulaab aaya hai

Roshan haiN aaj sarbasar, dil ke dar-o-baam
Falak se utar kar, mahtaab aaya hai

Toot kar hai chaha unn ko dil ne baar baar
Pyaar unn ke waaste be-hisaab aaya hai

Unn ki ek jhalak dekhi aankhoN ne iss qadar
ToofaN uThay haiN dil meiN, inqalaab aaya hai

Bhatakte rahe hum yuNhi sehra meiN ab talak
Bil-aakhir qareena-e-intekhaab aaya hai

Tanhaayi meiN Jiya hai Sagar ab tak iss tarha
Subh-o-shaam ashkoN ka sailaab aaya hai
