chand

meri raton ka rang uda jata hai
yeh nigoda chand jab bhi
jal jal ke aa jata hai

ho jata hai feeka meri rato ka rang sara
hath ko hath sujh jata hai
tere khyal bhi darta hai
jehen me aane se
bhala kon bulata hai isko
muh utha chala ata hai

udhar ki fekta hai roshni sari
rup bhi sab gaddo bhara hai
tere shehr ka hai shayd
dekh bebat akadta jata hai

mujhko pasand hai raat amavas ki
jab yeh aa na pata hai,
ghup andheri hoti raat meri
kala rang nikhar sa jata hai

umad umad ke aate hai tab khwab tere
kabhi kabhi tu bhi to,

chip chala aata hai
bairi hai shayd tere meri yaari ka
kyun ziyafat ki khtir
mehmaan ban chala ata hai

kahin aisa to nahi ke mehbooba ho
iski shehr me mere
uske noor dekhhne ko chala ata hai
main yun hi rahun kosti isko
aur yeh bhi koi ahiq nikle
