On Her Birth Anniversary
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में, ख़याल आता है
के ये बदन ये निगाहें मेरी अमानत हैं
ये गेसुओं की घनी छाँव हैं मेरी ख़ातिर
ये होंठ और ये बाहें मेरी अमानत हैं
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में, ख़याल आता है

झिलमिल सितारों का आँगन होगा
रिमझिम बरसता सावन होगा
ऐसा सुंदर सपना अपना जीवन होगा
झिलमिल सितारों का आँगन होगा
रिमझिम बरसता सावन होगा
