फिर यादों की हवा चली है
कैसी फिर यह आग लगी है
दिल में होली जल रही है ।१।
नशा है कैसा खुली ज़ुल्फ़ का
हुई है मुद्दत पर जाने क्यों
सांसों में भंग सी घुल रही है ।२।
बैठे हो तुम सामने मेरे
समंदर किनारे अल्हड़ शाम
गालों पे लाली मल रही है ।३।
किसने दी है थाप अमित
किसकी पायल की मधुर तान
ज़ज्बातों को यूँ छल रही है।४।

Playing with words 
This did not feel like reading a poem. A song was ringing in my ears with music 😀 Romantic – sans disappointment or regret!

English translation –
gusty winds from the past
fanning flames of I-don’t-know-what
Holi blazing in my heart…..
forgotten highs
intoxicated breaths
dark shadows of your tresses
I see you here – the evening
dissolves on your cheeks
-looks like you blushed
a gentle beat
jingling anklets
tease playfully
-Whose?
