Raqs

ai meri ham-raqs mujh ko tham le
zindagi se bhag kar aaya hun main

Dar se larza hun kahin aisa na ho
raqs-gah ke chor darwaze se aa kar zindagi

DhunD le mujh ko, nishan pa le mera
aur jurm-e-aish karte dekh le!

ai meri ham-raqs mujh ko tham le
raqs ki ye gardishen

ek mubham aasiya ke daur hain
kaisi sar-garmi se gham ko raundta jata hun main!

ji main kahta hun ke han
raqsh-gah mein zindagi ke jhankne se pesh-tar

kulfaton ka sang-reza ek bhi rahne na pae!
ai meri ham-raqs mujh ko tham le

zindagi mere liye
ek KHunin bheDiye se kam nahin

ai hasin o ajnabi aurat usi ke Dar se main
ho raha hun lamha lamha aur bhi tere qarib

jaanta hun tu meri jaan bhi nahin
tujh se milne ka phir imkan bhi nahin

tu meri in aarzuon ki magar tamsil hai
jo rahin mujh se gurezan aaj tak!

ai meri ham-raqs mujh ko tham le
ahd-e-parina ka main insan nahin

bandagi se is dar o diwar ki
ho chuki hain KHwahishen be-soz-o-rang o na-tawan

jism se tere lipaT sakta to hun
zindagi par main jhapaT sakta nahin!

is liye ab tham le
ai hasin o ajnabi aurat mujhe ab tham le!
