nindiya

halki halki pareshaaniyon ki tarah
mujhe poochey bagair
ya chitthi likhey bina hi
mujhe milne daudi chali aati hain yeh nindiya

mere zehen par sapnon ki kalam se
rachey dhundhlaate lafzon se
lubhaati nindiya

kore tann par ooni chaadar si
failti hui aasmaani nindiya

alhadh si
mann chali si nindiya

aa phir aaj tu
mujh ko naya safar koi dikha
mujhe naye tarang se aazmaa
mujh se tu mil kar
mujh mein ghul ja
