"Kalam uthayi, alfaaz kho gaye, Dil ke jazbaat chupke so gaye. Sawalon ke ghere mein bhatakte rahe, Sapne mitti mein gum ho gaye. Khwahish ke par asmaan mein khoye, Waqt ke saath bechaini mein roye. Pyar diya, par kinara na mila, Khud se poocha, jawab tha - sila. Dil ne kaha, jo reh gaya, wahi tha, Khud se pyar ab bhi zinda tha. ©Ishant Jaiswal"
