Dastak by Gulzar sb.

Subah subah ik khvab ki dastak par darvaza khula’ dekha

Sarhad ke us paar se kuchh mehman aae hain

Ankhon se manus the saare

Chehre saare sune sunae

Paanv dhue, haath dhulae

Angan men aasan lagvae

Aur tannur pe makki ke kuchh mote mote rot pakae

Potli men mehman mire

Pichhle salon ki faslon ka gud laae the

Aankh khuli to dekha ghar men koi nahin tha

Haath laga kar dekha to tannur abhi tak bujha nahin tha

Aur honton par mithe gud ka zaiqa ab tak chipak raha tha

Khvab tha shayad!

Khvab hi hoga!!

Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai chali, thi goli

Sarhad par kal raat, suna hai

Kuchh khvabon ka khuun hua thaa,
