Wo ettefaaq se raste me mil gaya tha mujhe,
Main dekhta tha use or wo dekhta tha mujhe.
Agarache uski nazar me thi, na aashnaai,
Main janta hoon ki barso se janta tha mujhe.
Talaash kar na saka phir mujhe waha jaa kar,
Galat samajh kar jaha usnd kho diya tha mujhe.
Bikhar chuka tha agar main to kyu sameta tha,
Main peirahan tha sikasta to kyu siya tha mujhe.
Hai mera harf-e-tamanna tere nazar ka kasoor,
Teri nazar ne hi ye haushla diya tha mujhe.
"akhtar ansaari sahab k likhe huye ye lines mujhe kafi pasand hai...
Ye lines ek kahaani ko kahti hai,
Aisi kahaani, jiska ek kirdaar kahi na kahi mere dil me b chupaa hai.........."
