Vo Chand khoya khoya saa

Hua chaand ko dar apni hi chamak ka, Nadiyon se nikal ujaano mein bhatak gaya. Hans-te khel-te chiraag sa vo chaand mar gaya, Itna door gaya ki khud ko hi bhool gaya. Ab us chehre ko kaun nihaarega, Kaun khaayega mere yaar teri seva ka fal? Bhool gaye sab us hans-te kheti chaand ko, Kise khabar thi , mere hone ya na hone se kya badal gaya Gham se bhare aansu khone par bah nikle, Kisi manzil ko chhod, rasta bhi ab na dikhe. Kabhi mehfilon ka Jamuna tha vo, Par ab koi aaye to bhi, vo lautey kahaan se? Raatein to ab bhi vahi hain, par chaand vo nahin, Tanhaaiyon ki chaadar mein bas yaadein reh gayi. Kabhi jo hansi thi, ab siskiyaan ban gayi, Jo roshni thi, ab dhundh mein dhal gayi. Kehte hain waqt sab sikha deta hai, Par kuch dard waqt ko bhi rula deta hai. Vo chaand jo sabka tha, ab kisi ka nahin, Bas aasman mein dhundhli si parchhaayi reh gayi.
