Yahii shaaKh tum jiske niiche chashm-e-nam ho
ab se kuchh saal pahle mujhe ek chhoTii bachchii milii thii
jise maiN ne aaGosh meN le kar puuchhaa thaa, beTii
yahaaN kyuuN khaRi ro rahii ho
mujhe apne bosiida aaNchal meN
phuuloN ke gahne dikhaa kar voh kahne lagi
meraa saathi, udhar,
usne apnii ungli uThaa kar bataaya
udhar us taraf hii jidhar uuNche mahloN ke gumbad
miloN kii siyaah chimniyaaN
aasmaaN kii taraf sar uThaaye khaRii haiN
ye kah kar gayaa hai ki, maiN
sone chaandi ke gahne tere vaaste lene jaata huuN, Raami
