dhuup jaaDaa dard duniyaa bhuuk patthar pyaas aansu — Raghvendra Dwivedi

main zaraa saa kyaa khulaa vo khud simaTne lag gayaa
jo kahaa kartaa thaa mujh se khul ke kyon milte nahin

ik tire kahne se meraa kam nahin kirdaar hogaa
ye alag hai baat main teri kahaani mein nahin huun

jis ne kiyaa hai qatl vahi chikh chikh kar
sab se ye kah rahaa hai ki qaatil pata karo

shahr ke pakke makaanon mein daraarein aa gaiin
gaanv ke kachche gharon ki niinv pakki thi bahut

vo ishaara kar ke pichhe haT gayaa thaa ek din
us ishaare ko samajhne mein lagaa huun aaj tak

aag se rishta hai meraa aur dariyaa bhi hai apnaa
aae din donon ke jhagDe mein ulajh kar rah gayaa huun

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

saavan ki is rim-jhim mein
bhiig rahaa hai tanhaa chaand

gham-e-dil ab kisi ke bas kaa nahin
kyaa davaa kyaa duaa kare koi

banaate hain hazaaron zakhm-e-khandaan khanjar-e-gham se
dil-e-naashaad ko ham is tarah pur-shaad karte hain
