mire vaaste jaane kyaa laaegi — Rajinder Manchanda Bani

yaad tiri jaise ki sar-e-shaam
dhund utar jaae paani mein

thi paanv mein koi zanjir bach gae varna
ram-e-havaa kaa tamaashaa yahaan rahaa hai bahut

koi bhuli hui shai taaq-e-har-manzar pe rakkhi thi
sitaare chhat pe rakkhe the shikan bistar pe rakkhi thi

shaamil huun qaafile mein magar sar mein dhund hai
shaayad hai koi raah judaa bhi mire liye

paiham mauj-e-imkaani mein
aglaa paanv nae paani mein

mohabbatein na rahin us ke dil mein mere liye
magar vo miltaa thaa hans kar ki vaza-daar jo thaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

kahnaa kisi kaa subh-e-shab-e-vasl naaz se
hasrat tumhaari jaan hamaari nikal gai

main sun rahaa huun phone pe khaamoshiyaan tiri
main jaantaa huun aaj se kyaa kyaa tamaam hai
