Palkon me quaid kuch sapne hai, Kuch begane kuch apne hai. May 7, 2008. Mere hridaypatal par maine phir ek chamak si payi. Aaj shaam ko mili jab teri ek parchayi. Uske khule kesh ki mahak,. Madhosh karne wale nainon ka madhuban,. Woh bindiya ki chamak,. Chudi ki khan khan. Bawra ho gaya mera mann. Aaj shaam ko mili jab teri ek parchayi. Woh bheeni sugandhit pawan le. Aanchal ki layar aayi,. Woh mrudu muskaan jise dekh,. Chindiyaan bhi chaichahain,. Bawra ho gaya mera mann. Bas usse dekh k bawra hua mann.
