lauTaa jab chaand bhi suraj bhi khasaaraa kar ke — Rakesh Toofan

jahaan pe jhuuT hai nafrat hai be-imaani hai
vahin pe zindagi-bhar zindagi bitaani hai

ajiib baat hai us raat ki sahar na hui
kai charaag jale raushni magar na hui

rasm-e-duniyaa ke bayaabaan mein bichhaDne vaale
ishq-e-aavaara tujhe DhunDh rahaa hai ab tak

zakhm chup-chaap rahegaa to rafu bolegaa
tum mujhe qatl bhi kar do to lahu bolegaa

main shajar dekh ke Dar jaataa huun
is qadar dhuup ki aadat hai mujhe

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

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

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

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa

vaqt hai ab namaaz-e-maghrib kaa
chaand rukh lab shafaq hai gesu shaam
