ik raushni ajab si dikhi us kitaab mein — 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

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

baar-haa yuun bhi huaa teri mohabbat ki qasam
jaan kar ham ne tujhe khud se khafaa rakkhaa hai

vo be-khudi thi mohabbat ki be-rukhi to na thi
pe us ko tark-e-taalluq ko ik bahaana huaa

safar mein ishq ke ik aisaa marhala aayaa
vo DhunDtaa thaa mujhe aur kho gayaa thaa main

rasm-e-jahaan na chhuT saki tark-e-ishq se
jab mil gae to pursish-e-haalaat ho gai
