Nazm: Sitare

Do sitare hai.N aasmanoo.N mai.N
Jin ki tabindagi misaali he

wo ye kehte hai.N teri aankhoo.N se
ham ko jana he aik mehfil mai.N

Ho sake tum se ger tu kuch lamhe
Jo jagah ham yaha.N se choorai.N ge

Is jagah tum zara chamak jana

Kiya ho ger nain teri in ki jagah
kuch zara deer ko chamak jai.N?

aur sitare , haseen rukh pe tere
ban ke aankhain teri theher jaye.N?
Kuch zara der waa.N pe ruk jaya.N?

Tere galoo.N ke zo fashani se
maand in ka jamaal par jaye
chaand chehre ki chandni ke tale
surkh par jayen sharm se tare

tujh se sekha he sab chiraghoon ne
rooshni ke libaas ma.N jalna
