Tripurari

tum jise chand kahte ho vo asl men
asman ke badan par koi ghaav hai

ek tasvir bana.i hai khayalon ne abhi
aur tasvir se ik shakhs nikal aaya hai

main apne darmiyan se haT chuka huun
to phir kya darmiyan rakkha hua hai

tum mire paas na aao ki yahi behtar hai
paas aane se to pahchan bhi ja sakti hai

umr bhar laDta raha huun us se
vo jo ik shakhs kabhi tha hi nahin

ka.i lashen hain mujh men dafn ya.ani
main qabristan huun shuruat hi se

kitni dilkash hain ye baarish ki phuvaarein lekin
aisi baarish mein miri jaan bhi jaa sakti hai

jab se guzraa hai kisi husn ke baazaar se dil
dil ko mahsus ye hotaa hai ki baazaar huun main

main tire jism ke jab paar nikal jaaungaa
vasl ki raat baDi ghaur-talab hogi vo

jin se milnaa na huaa un se bichhaD kar roe
ham to aankhon ki har ik had se guzar kar roe

kai laashein hain mujh mein dafn yaani
main qabristaan huun shuruaat hi se

tum jise chaand kahte ho vo asl mein
aasmaan ke badan par koi ghaav hai
