chaand suraj ki tarah tum bhi ho qudrat kaa khel — Salman Akhtar

kaise ho kyaa hai haal mat puchho
mujh se mushkil savaal mat puchho

kuchh to apne liye bhi rakhnaa hai
zakhm auron ko kyuun dikhaaein sab

ham jo pahle kahin mile hote
aur hi apne silsile hote

zindagi is qadar kaThin kyuun hai
aadmi ki bhalaa khataa kyaa hai

ye alag baat ki vo mujh se khafaa rahtaa hai
main ik insaan huun aur mujh mein khudaa rahtaa hai

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

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

mujh ko maalum hai mahbub-parasti kaa azaab
der se chaand nikalnaa bhi ghalat lagtaa hai

chhup gayaa eid kaa chaand nikal kar der hui par jaane kyon
nazrein ab tak Tiki hui hain masjid ke minaaron par

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi

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
