Sham Ka Pahla Tara (2)

meri us sham ke tare se mulaqat bahut gahri thi

wo mera ham-dam-e-derina tha

main bahut chhoTi thi jab man ne bataya tha mujhe

dekho dekho wo udhar wo meri ungli ke qarib

ek tara bhi tumhein dekhta hai

un dinon jab main hawaon ki tarah uDti thi

aur Dali ki tarah jhum ke lahraati thi

raat aur din ke lipaTne ki ghaDi aate hi

sirf us tare ki KHatir main Thahar jati thi

wo mujhe dekhta tha

main bhi use dekhti thi

wo mujhe DhunDhta tha

main bhi use DhunDhti thi

aur us id-e-mulaqat ke baad

roz hum donon bichhaD jate the

apni manzil ki taraf wo bhi chala jata tha

apne raston ki taraf mein bhi palaT aati thi

meri us sham ke tare se mulaqat bahut gahri thi

main ne tare ki rifaqat mein shagun kitne liye

aaj dekha nahin tara main ne

aaj ki sham jo roz aata hai shayad nahin aae

rasta bhul na jae

aaj to jald nikal aaya hai tara mera

aaj ki raat mulaqat milegi mujh ko

an-kahe lafzon ki saughat milegi mujh ko

main ne tare ki rifaqat mein shagun kitne liye

ab main tanha hun

baras bit gae hain kitne

koi tara nahin dekha main ne

dur ki chiz zara dhundli nazar aati hai

meri KHwabida samaat ko jagane ke liye

sirf aawaz-e-azan aati hai

ab shagun kahe se lun

kis ke aane ki umiden bandhun

kis ke jaane se pareshan rahun

kal magar phone ki ghanTi ne mujhe

apne mahaul se bedar kiya

zindagi se mujhe do-chaar kiya

ek amrit bhara lahja mere kanon mein ghula

amman kal sham dikhaya hum ne

apne bachchon ko chamakta tara

kaun sa tara dikhaya tum ne

aap ka sham ka pahla tara

phone jab KHatm hua

waqt dinon hi gale milte the

main ne khiDki se haTaya parda

aasman hadd-e-nazar tak waraq-e-sada tha

na shafaq thi na ufuq par hi koi tara tha

yak-ba-yak ek kiran chehre par lahrane lagi

dur ki chiz zara dhundli nazar aati hai

mera tara meri palkon par utar aaya tha

main ne ungli ke sahaare se use tham liya

apne aanchal mein use bandh liya

bhala is umr mein ye sath kise milta hai

meri us sham ke tare se mulaqat bahut gahri thi

mera hamdam-e-derina tha
