Aane Wala Pal

Apni is choti si duniya se aaj udne ko jee chahta hai.
Kisi mukaam par pahuch ke chahkne ko ji chahta hai.
Pehli baar is dil ko toofan ka kauf nahi;
Ab to bus baadlon paar pankh failaane ko jee chahta hai.


Baarish ki is tip-tip ne aaj dil ko pighlaya hai.
Phoolon se tapakte motiyon ne dard ko sehlaya hai.
Pehli baar hawao mein sirhan mehsoos ki hai;
Jaisi kisi ki awaaz ne lambi neend se jagaya hai.


Aane waale pal se jude mere umeedon ka silsila hai,
Chahaton aur hasraton ki lehron ka jaljala hai.
Waqt ne dhadkan ko jaise thaam liya ho,
Nazron ke saamne chal raha meri aarzuon ka kaafila hai.
