Yaadgaaron Ke Saaye

jab kabhee teree yaad aatee hai
chaandanee men nahaa ke aatee hai.
bheeg jaate hain aa(n)kh men sapane
shab men shabanam bahaa ke aatee hai.

meree tanahaaee ke tasavvur men
teree tasaveer ubhar aatee hai.
too naheen hai to teree yaad sahee
zindagee kuchh to sanvar jaatee hai.

jab bahaaron kaa zikr aataa hai
mere maazee kee daastaanon men
tab tere phool se tabassum kaa
rang bharataa hai aasamaanon men.

too kaheen door ufak se chal kar
mere khyaalon men utar aatee hai.
mere veeraan biyaabaanon men
pyaar ban kar ke bikhar jaatee hai.

too kisee pankharee ke daaman par
os kee tarah jhilamilaatee hai.
meree raaton kee hasaraten ban kar
too sitaaron men TimaTimaatee hai.

vakte ruḳhasat kee bebasee aisee
aa(n)kh se aarazoo ayaa(n) n huee.
dil se aaee thee baat hoThon tak
bezubaanee magar zubaan n huee.

ek lamahe ke dard ko lekar
kitanee sadiyaan udaas rahatee hain.
dooriyaan jo kabhee naheen miTateen
meree manzil ke paas rahatee hain.

raat aaee to bekalee lekar
sahar aaee to bekaraar aaee.
chand ulajhe huye se afasaane
zindagee aur kuchh naheen laaee.

chashme puranam bahee, bahee, n bahee.
zindagee hai, rahee, rahee, n rahee.
tum to kah do jo tumako kahanaa thaa
meraa kyaa hai kahee, kahee, n kahee.
