SarsarahaT

yahan in silwaTon par hath rakh dun

ye lahren hain bahi jati hain aur mujh ko bahati hain

ye mauj-e-baada hain saghar ki KHwabida-faza dil mein

achanak jag uThti hai

haqiqat ke jahan se koi is duniya mein dar aae

to us ke honT mutabassim hon shayad qahqaha uTh kar

mere dil ko jakaD le apne hathon se

magar main ye samajhta hun ki ye lahren abhi tak sahili manzar se na-waqif hain yunhi ek bahana kar rahi hain ek bahana kis ko kahte hain

bahane hi bahane hain

baDha kar rakh diya lahron pe main ne hath mera hath ek kashti ki manind ek mauj-e-tund

ki uftad ke jalwe ko mere samne la kar hua hai gum

ye sab mauj-e-taKHayyul ki rawani thi

magar main sochta hun baat jo kahne ki thi main ne na kyun pahle hi kah di waqt ka

be-faeda masraf

har ek poshida manzar ko

ugal Dalega ek lamha wo aaega

ki jab is baat ke sunne pe sunne wale sochenge

bahana kya tha silwaT kya thi mauj-e-baada bhi kya thi

magar shab ki andheri KHalwat-e-gumnam ke parde mein kho kar un ko ye malum ho jaega ek pal mein

aur ek lazzat ke kaif-e-muKHtasar mein kho ke wo be-saKHta ye baat kah uTThenge kya

mujh ko ijazat hai

yahan in silwaTon par hath rakh dun ye jhijak kaisi

ye lahren hain inhen nisbat hai kali raat ke ghamnak dariya se

jo bahta hi chala jata hai rukta hi nahin pal ko

jise kuchh bhi gharaz is se nahin main hath rakkhun ya jhijak us hath ko mere

kaleje se laga de aur main so jaun in lahron ke bistar mein

kaleje se laga de aur main so jaun in lahron ke bistar mein
