ek pyaar jo tadapata tha, ek pyaar jo rota tha,
ek pyaar jo khilata tha, phir mar jaata tha.
ek laalasa bharee nigaah, ek khaamosh aah,
ek gupt aasha jo udane kee himmat nahin karatee thee.
ek komal sparsh, ek kshanabhangur nazar,
ek kadava-meetha, mantramugdh samaadhi.
ek sapana taala gaya, ek ichchha asveekaar kee gaee,
ek pyaar tyaag diya gaya, ek taraph rakh diya gaya.
ek ghaayal aatma, ek toota hua dil,
ek pyaar ka dukhad ant, ek dardanaak shuruaat.
yah kavita adhoore pyaar kee gaharaee mein utaratee hai, dard, laalasa aur kadavee yaadon kee khoj karatee hai jo ek premee ke dil mein rahatee hain jo ek aise pyaar ke lie tarasata hai jo adhoora rah jaata hai. yah us prem ka saar prastut karata hai jo kabhee jeevant aur aashaapoorn tha, lekin antatah lupt ho gaya, tatha peechhe ek maarmik anusmaarak chhod gaya ki kya ho sakata tha.
