Maa

Tapte badan pe gili patti,
Bachpan ki chot pe tandi mitti,
Jaltey zakham pe barf ke jaisi,
Sukhe gale main sharbat jaisi
Meri maa ki yaadain hain esi.

Roti ankhon ki bhigi palkain,
Hanste chehre ki kanpti muskan,
Jaith ki garmi aur pedon ki chanw
Bhadon ke aasman ka badal,
En main chupa meri maa ka anchal.

Darr ke andhere main Ishwar ka ehsaas,
Duniya ki bheed aur maa ka ek haath,
Hare hue mann ki akhiri ummeed,
Tute rishton ki pehli aur akhiri janzeer.
Maa ki yaadain ab sab hain tasveer.
