duur jitnaa bhi chalaa jaae magar — Nomaan Shauque

rail dekhi hai kabhi siine pe chalne vaali
yaad to honge tujhe haath hilaate hue ham

kuchh na thaa mere paas khone ko
tum mile ho to Dar gayaa huun main

jamhuriyat ke biich phansi aqaliyat thaa dil
mauqa jise jidhar se milaa vaar kar diyaa

meri khushiyon se vo rishta hai tumhaaraa ab tak
iid ho jaae agar id-mubaarak kah do

aaine kaa saamnaa achchhaa nahin hai baar baar
ek din apni hi aankhon mein khaTak saktaa huun main

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar
meri miTTi mein gundhi hai raat bhi

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

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

bachchon ke chhoTe haathon ko chaand sitaare chhune do
chaar kitaabein paDh kar ye bhi ham jaise ho jaaeinge

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

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

shaah-balut ke uupar dekh
chaand dharaa hai thaali par
