chhat pe aai ho aaj barson baad — Haider Allahabadi

us ne kaisaa ye kaam kar Daalaa
meraa jiinaa haraam kar Daalaa

teraa chehra to dekh rakkhaa hai
had hai teri jabin nahin dekhi

kyon miraa intizaar karte ho
kis liye mujh se pyaar karte ho

tiri yaad aai to kahti hain aankhein
ab aankhon se aansu bahaanaa paDegaa

koi bhi ru-baru nahin rahaa ab
meraa matlab hai tu nahin rahaa ab

apne bistar pe dam na toD dein ham
teri baaton ko yaad kar kar ke

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi

paani mein bhi chaand sitaare ug aate hain
aankh se dil tak vo zarkhezi ho jaati hai

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri

shaah-balut ke uupar dekh
chaand dharaa hai thaali par

yaqin chaand pe suraj mein e'tibaar bhi rakh
magar nigaah mein thoDaa saa intizaar bhi rakh
