Silsila Raushan Tajassus Ka Udhar Mera Bhi Hai

Rajinder Manchanda Bani

silsila raushan tajassus ka udhar mera bhi hai

ai sitaro us ḳhala men ik safar mera bhi hai

chaar janib khinch diin us ne lakiren aag ki

main ki chillaya bahut basti men ghar mera bhi hai

jaane kis ka kya chhupa hai us dhuen ki saf ke paar

ek lamhe ka ufuq ummid bhar mera bhi hai

raah asan dekh kar sab ḳhush the phir main ne kaha

soch liije ek andaz-e-nazar mera bhi hai

ab nahin hai us ki khiḌki ke tanazur men bhi chand

ek pur-asrar mausam se guzar mera bhi hai

ye bisat-e-arzu hai is ko yuun asan na khel

mujh se vabasta bahut kuchh daav par mera bhi hai

jiine marne ka junun dil ko hua ‘bani’ bahut

asman ik chahiye mujh ko ki sar mera bhi hai
