kahkashan

zamin se to ye baat hai dur ki
magar kahkashan hai sadak nur ki
kahin saf-ba-saf rang ki botalen
jalai hain ya charkh ye mashalen


karen ghaur to aql so jaegi
nazar itne taron mein kho jaegi
ye raste mein shoale bichhae gae
ki bijli ke tukde udae gae


idhar se udhar tak hai dariya-e-nur
ki aaina ho gaya chur chur
zamin par kahan is qadar rang-o-rup
ye shayad farishton ki hai daud dhup


nazar aa raha hai ye taron ka bagh
farishton ne raushan kiye hain charagh
wo bharpur hai raushni ka saman
ki jaise pise chand suraj yahan


saman dekh kar tum kahan kho gae
'chaman' ji tum aa kar yahan so gae
