gul-chandni

kal shaam yaad aayā mujhe!

aise ki jaise ḳhvāb thā

kone meñ āñgan ke mire

gul-chāñdnī kā piiḌā thā

maiñ saarī saarī dopahar

saa.e meñ us ke kheltī

phūloñ ko chhū kar bhāgtī

shāḳhoñ se mil kar jhūltī

is ke tane meñ bīsiyoñ!

lohe ki kīleñ thiiñ jaḌī

kīloñ ko mat chhūnā kabhī

tākīd thī mujh ko yahī!

ye raaz mujh pe faash thā

is peḌ par aaseb thaa!

ik mard-e-kāmil ne magar

aisā amal us par kiyā

bāhar vo aa saktā nahīñ!!

kīloñ meñ us ko jaḌ diyā

haañ koī kīloñ ko agar

khīñgā uupar kī taraf!

aaseb bhī chhuT jā.egā

phūloñ ko bhī khā jā.egā

pattoñ pe bhī mañDlāyegā

phir dekhte hī dekhte

ye ghar kā ghar jal jā.egā

is sahn-e-jism-o-jāñ meñ bhī

gul chāñdnī kā peḌ hai!

sab phuul mere saath haiñ

patte mire hamrāz haiñ

is peḌ kā saaya mujhe!

ab bhī bahut mahbūb hai

is ke tane meñ aaj tak

aaseb vo mahsūr hai

ye sochtī huuñ aaj bhii!

kīloñ ko gar chheḌā kabhī

aaseb bhī chhuT jā.egā

pattoñ se kiyā lenā use

phūloñ se kiyā matlab use

bas ghar mirā jal jā.egā

kyā ghar mirā jal jā.egā?

kal sham yaad aaya mujhe!

aise ki jaise KHwab tha

kone mein aangan ke mere

gul-chandni ka piDa tha

main sari sari dopahar

sae mein us ke khelti

phulon ko chhu kar bhagti

shaKHon se mil kar jhulti

is ke tane mein bisiyon!

lohe ki kilen thin jaDi

kilon ko mat chhuna kabhi

takid thi mujh ko yahi!

ye raaz mujh pe fash tha

is peD par aaseb tha!

ek mard-e-kaamil ne magar

aisa amal us par kiya

bahar wo aa sakta nahin!!

kilon mein us ko jaD diya

han koi kilon ko agar

khinga upar ki taraf!

aaseb bhi chhuT jaega

phulon ko bhi kha jaega

patton pe bhi manDlayega

phir dekhte hi dekhte

ye ghar ka ghar jal jaega

is sahn-e-jism-o-jaan mein bhi

gul chandni ka peD hai!

sab phul mere sath hain

patte mere hamraaz hain

is peD ka saya mujhe!

ab bhi bahut mahbub hai

is ke tane mein aaj tak

aaseb wo mahsur hai

ye sochti hun aaj bhi!

kilon ko gar chheDa kabhi

aaseb bhi chhuT jaega

patton se kiya lena use

phulon se kiya matlab use

bas ghar mera jal jaega

kya ghar mera jal jaega?
