diwali
ghuT gayā añdhere kā aaj dam akele meñ
har nazar Tahaltī hai raushnī ke mele meñ
aaj DhūñDhne par bhī mil sakī na tārīkī
maut kho ga.ī shāyad zindagī ke rele meñ
is tarah se hañstī haiñ aaj dīp-mālā.eñ
shoḳhiyāñ kareñ jaise saath mil ke bālā.eñ
har galī na.ī dulhan har saḌak hasīna hai
har dehāt añgūThī hai har nagar nagīna hai
paḌ ga.ī hai ḳhatre meñ aaj yam kī yamrājī
maut ke bhī māthe par maut kā pasīna hai
raat ke karūñ maiñ hai aaj raat kā kañgan
ik suhāganī ban kar chhā.ī jaatī hai jogan
qumqume jale ghar ghar raushnī hai paT paT par
le ke koī mañgal-ghaT chhā gayā hai ghaT ghaT par
raushnī karo lekin farz par na aañch aa.e
ho nigāh siimā par aur kaan aahaT par
hoshiyār un se bhī jo nigāh phere haiñ
paak hī nahīñ tanhā aur bhī luTere haiñ
chhoḌ apnī nāpākī yā badal de apnī dhun
maut legā yā jīvan do meñ jis ko chāhe chun
ham haiñ krishn kī liilā ham haiñ viir bhārat ke
ham nakul haiñ ham sahdev ham haiñ bhiim ham arjun
daropdī se durghaTnā duur kar ke chhoḌeñge
ai samay ke duryodhan chuur kar ke chhoḌeñge
qabr ho samādhī ho sab ko jagmagā.eñge
dhuum se shahīdoñ kā sog ham manāeñge
tum se kaam lenā hai ham ko dīp-mālāo
saare diip kī lau se dil kī lau baḌhā.eñge
sab se garmiyāñ le kar siine meñ chhupānā hai
dil ko is divālī se agnī bam banānā hai
ghuT gaya andhere ka aaj dam akele mein
har nazar Tahalti hai raushni ke mele mein
aaj DhunDhne par bhi mil saki na tariki
maut kho gai shayad zindagi ke rele mein
is tarah se hansti hain aaj dip-malaen
shoKHiyan karen jaise sath mil ke baalaen
har gali nai dulhan har saDak hasina hai
har dehat anguThi hai har nagar nagina hai
paD gai hai KHatre mein aaj yam ki yamraji
maut ke bhi mathe par maut ka pasina hai
raat ke karun main hai aaj raat ka kangan
ek suhagani ban kar chhai jati hai jogan
qumqume jale ghar ghar raushni hai paT paT par
le ke koi mangal-ghaT chha gaya hai ghaT ghaT par
raushni karo lekin farz par na aanch aae
ho nigah sima par aur kan aahaT par
hoshiyar un se bhi jo nigah phere hain
pak hi nahin tanha aur bhi luTere hain
chhoD apni napaki ya badal de apni dhun
maut lega ya jiwan do mein jis ko chahe chun
hum hain krishn ki lila hum hain wir bhaarat ke
hum nakul hain hum sahdew hum hain bhim hum arjun
daropdi se durghaTna dur kar ke chhoDenge
ai samay ke duryodhan chur kar ke chhoDenge
qabr ho samadhi ho sab ko jagmagaenge
dhum se shahidon ka sog hum manaenge
tum se kaam lena hai hum ko dip-malao
sare dip ki lau se dil ki lau baDhaenge
sab se garmiyan le kar sine mein chhupana hai
dil ko is diwali se agni bam banana hai
