Ab Ke Baras

Shahryar

hava ka taaqub kabhi chand ki chandni ko pakadne ki khvahish

kabhi subh ke hont chhune ki hasrat

kabhi raat ki zulf ko gundhne ki tamanna

kabhi jism ke qahr ki madh-khvani

kabhi ruuh ki be-kasi ki kahani

kabhi jagne ki havas ko jagana

kabhi niind ke band darvaze ko khatkhatana

kabhi sirf ankhen hi ankhen hain aur kuchh nahin hai

kabhi kaan hain haath hain aur zaban hai

kabhi sirf lab hain

dilon ke dhadakne ke andaz

ab ke baras kuchh ajab hain
