Chaand ke Ashq Meethe

ghaas kaa narm galeechaa
ghar ke peechhe
aur man ke peechhe tum

sitaaron kee tarah TimaTim
haree doob par asankhy motee
daraasal apanee hee lipi ke akShar hain
yahaa(n) sameTane kaa matalab bikharanaa hotaa hai

man kee j़meen par
mulaayam doob ug aae hain
kh़yaal ke k़dam lie
un doobon par chalataa hoo(n)

sochataa hoo(n) talavon se chipakee
boo(n)don kaa ab kyaa karoon ?
aur phir ghabaraakar paa(n)v jhaT se
samandar men bhigo aataa hoo(n)

kh़ush ho letaa hoo(n)
ki samandar ko
halkaa meeThaa chakhaa diyaa

man ke andar bhee ek samandar hai
laharen vahaa(n) bhee umaD़tee hai
hichakole letee hain ,dil par paD़tee hai

aur phir baa(n)dh paseejataa hai aa(n)khon men
ab yahee sochataa hoo(n)
chaa(n)d ke ashk़ meeThe
aur mere namakeen kyon ?
