Chandni Kahti Hai

roz-o-shab

halqa-e-afat hain

har lahza jawan

silsila waqt ki gardish ka yahan

sab hain pabandi-e-auqat-e-zamana mein magan

jaan-o-tan fahm-o-KHirad hosh-o-guman

tum hi tanha nahin is sail-e-rawan mein majbur

main bhi jiti hun yahan KHud se gurezan ho kar

phir bhi ek lamhe ki fursat jo mayassar aae

dil wahin chupke se dhaDkan ko jaga deta hai

tar-raaton mein bikharti hain rupahli kirnen

chandni pichhli mulaqaton ke aaine mein

roz-e-ainda se milti hai gale

kahti hai

an-kahi baaton ki KHushbu se moattar rakhna

apni aawaz abhi

zindagi kitni hi be-mehr sahmi

phir bhi bahaar aaegi

aankhon mein basae rakhna mere andaz abhi
