log kahte hain hamesha chaand saa mahbub ko — Raghvendra Dwivedi

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

pahle to bolte hain bharosa hai aap par
phir ye bhi chaahte hain vafaa kaa hisaab duun

be-had qarib hone kaa nuqsaan ye bhi hai
dikhtaa nahin hai vo jo zaruri hai dekhnaa

aansu nikal ke aankh se palkon pe ruk gae
ghar chhoDne ke vaqt ThiThakte hain paanv bhi

zindagi se tang aa kar khud-kushi kar li kisi ne
aur koi khud-kushi kartaa rahaa hai zindagi-bhar

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

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

bachchon ke chhoTe haathon ko chaand sitaare chhune do
chaar kitaabein paDh kar ye bhi ham jaise ho jaaeinge

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

paani mein bhi chaand sitaare ug aate hain
aankh se dil tak vo zarkhezi ho jaati hai

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri

shaah-balut ke uupar dekh
chaand dharaa hai thaali par
