Rakesh Toofan

ajiib baat hai us raat ki sahar na hui
ka.i charag jale raushni magar na hui

jahan pe jhuuT hai nafrat hai be-imani hai
vahin pe zindagi-bhar zindagi bitani hai

rasm-e-duniya ke bayaban men bichhaDne vaale
ishq-e-avara tujhe DhunDh raha hai ab tak

zakhm chup-chap rahega to rafu bolega
tum mujhe qatl bhi kar do to lahu bolega

main shajar dekh ke Dar jaata huun
is qadar dhuup ki aadat hai mujhe

lauTa jab chand bhi suraj bhi khasara kar ke
ham ne chamka diya angan ko sitara kar ke

lauTaa jab chaand bhi suraj bhi khasaaraa kar ke
ham ne chamkaa diyaa aangan ko sitaaraa kar ke

jahaan pe jhuuT hai nafrat hai be-imaani hai
vahin pe zindagi-bhar zindagi bitaani hai

ajiib baat hai us raat ki sahar na hui
kai charaag jale raushni magar na hui

rasm-e-duniyaa ke bayaabaan mein bichhaDne vaale
ishq-e-aavaara tujhe DhunDh rahaa hai ab tak

zakhm chup-chaap rahegaa to rafu bolegaa
tum mujhe qatl bhi kar do to lahu bolegaa

main shajar dekh ke Dar jaataa huun
is qadar dhuup ki aadat hai mujhe
