wo gulab

darvaja kholte hi nazar padi us gulab par,

jise hfte bhr pahle

 main isliye le aaya tha

ki gulab pr nazar padegi

to dil ko aachha lagega,

lekin vahi gulab ab murjha gaya he,

 dekh kar lagta he jese naraz he mujse....

use dekha nahi ya dhyan nahi rakha

ya shayad dono.

kitna ajeeb he,

sukhne k bad pattiyon k rang halke ho gaye...

aur gulab ka rang gahra. 
Vo jo kahana chahta tha,

murjha kr kah gaya.......

mohit kant mishra
