mujh ko yaad rahaa tu bhulaa — Prem Bhandari

khel-kud kar shaam Dhale kyuun
apne ghar ko jaati dhuup

aag lagaai tum ne hi to
logon ne to sirf havaa di

jaane kyuun log miraa naam paDhaa karte hain
main ne chehre pe tire yuun to likhaa kuchh bhi nahin

chhupi hai an-ginat chingaariyaan lafzon ke daaman mein
zaraa paDhnaa ghazal ki ye kitaab aahista aahista

shaam hui to suraj soche
saaraa din bekaar jale the

saari saari raat main jaagaa
vo meri aankhon mein soyaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

yaad aur yaad ko bhulaane mein
umr ki fasl kaT gai dekho

tumhaari yaad kaa chehra hamaare dard kaa rang
nikhar gae hain sabhi ashk-baar hone se

zamaana guzraa havaa phir se yaad aane lagaa
na jaane kaun mujhe khvaab phir dikhaane lagaa

kis tarah ujDe sulagti hui yaadon ke diye
hamdamo dil ke qarib aao ruko aur suno

teri surat teri chaahat yaadein sab
chhoTe se is dil mein kyaa kyaa rakkhungaa
