راتوں کو — مجید امجد

Raaton Ko

Aankhon mein koi bas jata hai
Meethi si hansi hans jata hai
Ehsaas ki lehrein un tareekh jazeeron se takrati hain
Jahan naghme pankh sanwarte hain
Sangeen faseelon ke gumbad se pehre-dar pukarte hain
Kya karta hai
Dil darta hai
Dil darta hai un kaali akeli raaton se dil darta hai
In sooni tanha raaton mein
Dil doob ke guzri baaton mein
Jab sochta hai kya dekhta hai har simt dhuein ka
Baadal hai waadi o biyaban jal thal hai
Zakhar samandar sookhe hain par haul chatanen pighli hain
Dharti ne toot-te taaron ki jalti hui lashein nigli hain
Pehnaaye zamaan ke seene par ek mauj angdaai leti hai
Is aab o gil ki daldal mein ek chaap sunayi deti hai
Ek thirkan si ek dhadkan si afaaq ki dhalwanon mein kahin
Taanein jo hamak kar milti hain chal padti hain rukti hi nahin
In ragniyon ke bhanwar bhanwar mein sadha sadiyon ghoom gayin
In qarn-aalood musafat mein lakh aable phoote deep bujhe
Aur aaj kise maloom zameer-e-hasti ka aahang-e-tapan
Kis door ke des ke kohron mein larzan larzan raqsan raqsan
Is saans ki rau tak pahuncha hai
Is meri mez ki jalti hui qandeel ki lau tak pahuncha hai
Kaun aaya hai kaun aata hai kaun aayega
Anjane man ki moorakh-ta ko kya kya dhyan guzarta hai
Dil darta hai
Dil darta hai un kaali akeli raaton se dil darta hai
