ghuTan taDpan udaasi ashk rusvaai akelaa-pan — Neeraj Goswami

tum se mil kar der talak
achchhi lagti tanhaai

hai jin ke baazuon mein dam vo dariyaa paar kar leinge
bahut mumkin hai Dubein vo jo baiThe hain safine mein

mujhe raas viraaniyaan aa gai hain
tiri yaad bhi ab sataati nahin hai

sochtaa huun ye soch kar main use
vo bhi aise hi sochtaa hai mujhe

ajab ye daur aayaa hai ki jis mein
ghalat kuchh bhi nahin sab kuchh sahi hai

Daal diin bhuke ko jis mein roTiyaan
vo samajh puujaa ki thaali ho gai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai
