Ganga ke kinare

ta-hadd-e-nazar jab nazron mein jannat ke nazare hote the
baaton mein kinae hote the nazron mein ishaare hote the

aise mein jo aansu girte the girte hi sitare hote the
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

wo raat ka sundar sannaTa chup sadhe hue jaise manzil
ganga ki dhaDakti chhati par arman ke diye jhilmil jhilmil

pani mein larazti rahti thi chand aur sitaron ki mahfil
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

har mauj-e-rawan par lahraati hansti si rupahli ek dhaari
jaise kisi chanchal ke tan par lahrae banaras ki sari

ganga ki ada pyari pyari kuchh aur bhi hoti thi pyari
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

ashnan nigahen karti thin parkash ki chaDhti naddi mein
aakash ke ubhre tare the Dube hue kaif-o-masti mein

baiThe nazar aate the hum tum chanda ki rupahli kashti mein
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

mahtab ki kirnen jhuk jhuk kar kuchh jal rupahli bunti thin
ganga ki qasam maujen aa kar qadmon pe sar apna dhunti thin

sab prem kathaen kahti thin sab prem kathaen sunti thin
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

yun rag sa chheDe rahta tha bahta hua pani ka dhaara
jaise koi jogi raat gae gata ho baja kar ek tara

is jhumti gati ganga ka hota tha saman pyara pyara
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

armanon ki kaliyan khilti thin aashaon ke dipak jalte the
badmast hawaon ke jhonke chalte hue pankha jhalte the

raat aur hasin ho jati thi is husn se hum tum chalte the
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

ganga ke kinare aate the aazad tabiat hoti thi
bebak se hum tum rahte the bebak mohabbat hoti thi

har shai pe hukumat karte the har shai pe hukumat hoti thi
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the

jaise ki 'nazir' un raaton par qudrat bhi karam farmati thi
bedar KHuda kar deta tha aankhon mein agar nind aati thi

mandir mein gajar baj jata tha masjid mein azan ho jati thi
jab chandni raaton mein hum tum ganga ke kinare hote the
