Saher Aur Raat

AAJ KAHIN NA KAHIN HOGI SAHER,

RAAT YUN THAHAR SAKTI NAHIN.

AAJ NAHI TO KAL YE HONA HI THA,

KISI KE DIL ME TO DEEP JALNA HI THA.

AB SAAF NAZAR AA RAHI HAI SAHER

KITNI KHUSHNUMA HAI YE PAHAR.

YE SAMUNDER KA KINARA AUR

CHATTTANO SE TAKRATI YE LAHAR.

YUN TO ROJ HOTI THI SUBAH

HAR DIN FAILTA THA UJALA.

HAR DIN CHAHCHAHATI THI GAURAIYA(bird)

EK RAAT KHATM HOTI THI

EK NAYA DIN SHUROO HOTA THA.

USKE SAATH NAYE SAPNE, NAYI TAMANNA ,

KUCH KAR DIKHANE KI ICHCHHA

BHI SAHSA AATI THI.

PAR PHIR WOHI MUSHKILO KA SAFAR

WO BHEED KA HISSA BAN_NA,

WO AANKHO KE KHWAAB KA

KISI SE TAKRA KAR TUTNA.

AUR WO DIL KE HAUSLE KA

SURAJ KI TARAH DOOB JANA.

PAR AAJ,

NA JANE KYUN LAGTA HAI

JAISE ISI SAHER KI TALAASH THI.

WO KALI RAAT MANO AB LAUT KAR NAHI AAYEGI.

AAJ MANO

SABHI KHUSHIYON KO SAMETNE KA

DIN AA GAYA HAI.

PAR PHIR BHI,

KAHIN KHONE ME YE DAR,

KI KAHIN YE BHI WOHI SUBAH NA HO

JO ROJ AATI HAI, AUR

ROJ CHALE JATI HAI.

KI KAHIN YE BHI WOHI SUBAH NA HO

JO US KHAUFNAAK RAAT KI YAAD DILATI HAI

AGAR YE WAHI SUBAH HAI TO, AE KHUDA

MUJHE WO RAAT HI DE DE!
