Aarzu ki shamaa

By Prashant V Shrivastava on August 17, 2010 • ( 0 )

aarzu ki shamaa jalaati hai par jalti nahi

yeh sau suraakh ki chaadar hai, jo silti nahi

log dhoondhte hai muhabbat jo is jahaaN mein

yeh wo sheh hai jo hoti hai, par milti nahi

sehraa mein gul khilna to mehaz ek khayaal hai

aajkal to chaman mein bhi kali khilti nahi

bhool gaye hain likhte likhte, hum kya likhte the

aajkal jo kho jaaye, wo kadi kahin milti nahi

subahaa ke ujaale dekhe huye, muddat musafir ho gaii

Aajkal waqt pe aankheiN hamaari khulti nahiN
