aur tumne taras bhi nahin khaya shama bujhane mein

shama bujhani thi
to jalaya kyon tha

yun be-rukhi se
munh modna tha

to anjuman mein bithaya hi kyon tha
wo dekho

falak pe chand
kaisa udas dikh raha hai

dekho
zara dekho to us ki aankhen

kaisi dabdaba aai hain
chand se mera kya rishta hai

sirf itna hi na
ki har raat

main use ek bar dekhta tha
aur use dekh kar hath hila diya karta tha

chand
kahin bhi hota tha

baadalon ki ot mein
kisi bade darakht ke

sabz patton ke pichhe
ya unchi imaraton ke

chhajjon ke pichhe
wo daud kar

bahar nikal aata tha
shafqat se labrez muskan

bikher deta tha
aur main

main use dekh kar
hath hila diya karta tha

tum se to behtar hai
wo chand

jo mujhe tanha dekh kar
udas ho utha

aur tum
tum ne taras bhi nahin khaya

shama bujhane mein
shama bujhani thi

to jalaya kyon tha
yun be-rukhi se munh modna tha

to anjuman mein bithaya hi kyon tha
