raae pahle se banaa li tu ne — Parveen Shakir

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

meri chaadar to chhini thi shaam ki tanhaai mein
be-ridaai ko miri phir de gayaa tashhir kaun

baat vo aadhi raat ki raat vo puure chaand ki
chaand bhi ain chait kaa us pe tiraa jamaal bhi

ab bhi barsaat ki raaton mein badan TuTtaa hai
jaag uThti hain ajab khvaahishein angDaai ki

main sach kahungi magar phir bhi haar jaaungi
vo jhuuT bolegaa aur laa-javaab kar degaa

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

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

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
