Taking Some Tender Leaves
I Gave Those To Someone
Many Many Days Ago
Did Those Raise
Her Longevity
Or Were Eaten By
Four-Footed One
I Don’t Know—
May Be The Leaves
Were Burned
In Any Furnace.
A Few Days Ago
I Dreamt Her
After Long Thirty Years,
Strange
Are The Leaves Still Green!

Dil Bhi Tanha Kya Kahen
Hum Bhi Akele Kya Kahen

Tum Jahan Bhi Ho Paas Aao
Hai Khuda Ki Kudrat Kya Kahen

Tu Nay Deekha Hai Kabhi Eik Nazar Sham Kay Baad
Kitnay Chup Chaap Se Lagtay Hain Shaher Shaam Kay Baad

Mein Nay Aese Hi Jurm Teri Judai Mein Kiay
Jaise Toofaaan Mein Choor Day Koi Gher Shaam Kay Baad.

Kal Halki Si Barsaat Mein Ho Gayi Mulaakat Unse,
Nazron Ki Shabnam Ne Jaise Kar Li Ho Har Baat Unse,

Unki Aankhon Mein Thi Aisi Kashish Ke Kya Kahein,
Mere Jism Ke Rom Rom Ne Kar Li Mohabbat Unse,

Dear Marie,

Yesterday Was A Good Day . Our Meeting Was Truly Nice . Though
I Was In 50-50 Mind To See You, The Meeting And The Treat Were
Good.

Zulfein Teri Ghataayein Lagti Hai,
Teraa Aanchal Hawa Ye Lag Taa Hai,

Chand Chehraa Ye Teraa Lagta Hai,
Dil Ye Meraa Chakoor Lagta Hai,
