बेनाम जसबात

ये कैसी उल्झनें?
ये कैसी हैरानियॉं?
अजी, गुस्ताखी कैसी?
जब हमने रखी सरॉंखों पर
आपकी मन्मानियॉं?

इन जख्मों का क्या मोल?
जी लेंगे; इन्हें मानकर
आपकी महरबानियॉं...

अल्फाजों पर न करें
और जुल्म
अब छोड भी दें
ये परेशान खामोशियॉं

हमारे दिल को जख्म देने की
इतनी बडी सज़ा?
अजी, माफी कैसी?
इश्क में आपके जख्मी हुए,
ये तो कुबूल हुई
हमारे ही दिल की रज़ा...

Situational background:

The man has hurt his beloved and now burns in remorse, but is unable to figure out an appropriate manner in which to admit it to the girl.
