मुझे तुझमें एक शख्स ऐसा मिला,
ना चाहते हुए भी तू मुझमें ही मिला !
कम गहराईयां मुझमें ना थी,
ज्यादा उभार तुझमें भी ना था !
सोच मैं मेरी,
तेरे किरदार का हर अक्स कुछ खास दिखा !
नजरें तेरी झुकी,
शर्म से मैं भी ना बचा !
मुझमें क़ैद एक तस्वीर मिली,
रूबुरु तुझसे हुए,
तो तुझसे ही हुबहु मिली !
सिलवटें बिस्तर पर थी पड़ी हुई,
तेरी खुशबू उसमें हर बार वही मिली!
मैं जा पहुंचा दर पर तेरे,
जब तू मुझे मेरे पास ना मिली !
कसक बाकी थी,
एक मलाल था दिल को,
मेरी आखिरी सांसों को,
सांसे तेरी क्यों ना मिली !

I found such a person in you,
Even without wanting you met in me!
There were no lesser depths in me,
You also didn't emerge much!
In my imagination,
Every image of your character looked special!
Your eyes bowed down,
Even I was not spared from shame!
Found a picture captured in me,
When I met you,
I got exactly the same image in you!
There were folds lying on the bed,
Your fragrance was found in it the same every time!
I reached your door,
When I couldn't find you with me!
There was still some tension left,
There was a regret in my heart,
Why didn't my last breaths,
Get your breaths ?
