"Mohit"

(Written April 2007, at age 20.)

mere maun labon ke aage tham gayi teri zubaan
mere toote dil ko dekh sharma gayi teri muskaan

meri band aankhon mein jhaanke teri jo utaavli nazar
chaunk gayi, ruk gayi woh, paaye jo ashq-e-nishaan

dharti ko cheer gayi meri zinda kabr ki gehraayiaan
sajde kare usmein teri rooh ka khula aasmaan

do palon ke beech meri kahani shuroo aur khatm
kya mahtamm manaaye meri maut ka teri sadiyon ki daastaan

teri madira se "mohit" saansein kuch meethi lageen
meri hayaat-e-ghurbat-e-ishq ki hui ek mushqil aasaan
