rukhsat karne ke aadaab nibhaane hi the — 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
