Chand aur chakor

thi ek aisi raat ki hum donon tanha the
chand bhi hum bhi

chand ye bola
diwane aa baat karen kuchh

hijr ki raat bahut bhaari hai
main to kab se sard paDa hun

is nile sahra mein yunhi main sadiyon se aawara hun
aur tanha hun

diwane aa baat karen kuchh
tere dil mein shayad ab tak koi dahakta angara hai

hijr ki ThanDi rakh ki tah mein shayad koi chingari hai
hijr ki raat bahut bhaari hai

diwane aa baat karen kuchh
main ne socha

main dharti ka rahne wala
ye nile aakash ka basi

mera is ka mel nahin hai
tanhai hai khel nahin hai

main ne ek chaman mein ja kar KHushbu ko ye baat batai
chand ka bachna ab mushkil hai

chaar taraf se ghabra ke us ko mar rahi hai phaili hui nili tanhai
KHushbu ne li ek angDai

aur ye boli
han bas thoDi der hui

shabnam kuchh is se milta-julta
ek paigham sa to lai thi

lekin shaer main kyun jaun
jis ko tanhai Dasti ho wo KHud aae

main kyun jaun
aaKHir mauj-e-hawa aati hai

aur barhana-pa aati hai
main kya karta

main lauT aaya
chand judai ke nile sahra mein ab tak aawara tha

aur tanha tha
meri jaanib dekh raha tha

tab main ne do pankh lagae
koi nahin jata to na jae main jata hun

chand akela Dar jaega
mar jaega

niche ab ek chandni ki gahri khai hai
aawazon ka ek jangal hai

aur ek dasht-e-tanhai hai
ek sahra-e-ruswai hai

mere thakte bazu mein aur chand mein shayad duri ab bhi utni hi hai
chand abhi tak dur hai mujh se

aur abhi tak
meri jaanib dekh raha hai

aur kahta hai
diwane aa baat karen kuchh

hijr ki raat bahut bhaari hai
tere dil mein shayad ab tak shauq ki koi chingari hai
