Woh Shaam

Aaj phir wohi purani shaam yaad aati hai,
tumhari aahat se , dil ki dhadkane tez ho jati hai,
peeche mudkar jab dekhta hoon to,
phir wohi khali gilas nazar aati hai,
aaj phir wohi purani shaam yaad aati hai.

Ek khali gilas hi to hai yeh zindagi,
pani bankar jab jab tumne chaha,
tab tab ismein samaye,
aur jab mann bhar gaya is se,
to ise khali karne mein jara bhi na katraye,
iss khali gilas ko dekhkar hi mujhe,
aaj phir wohi purani shaam yaad aati hai.

yeh mandir ki ghantiyaan,
yeh peepal ki thandi chanv,
yeh nadi ka nirmal pani,
yeh pakshiyon ke meethe swar,
baki sab to wohi hai,
bas ek tera saath hi to nahi hai.

ek shaam woh bhi thi jab hum antim bar mile the,
kitni suhani thi woh shaam lekin,
ek kshan mein hi tumne kuch aisa keh dala,
ki woh shaam mere liye,
garmi ki jhulasti dopahar jaisi ban gayi,
sardi ki kadkadati raaton jaisi ban gayi,
aaj phir mujhe woh shaam bhi yaad aati hai.

mujhe yeh to pata nahi tumhari shaamein,
kaisi hoti hogi lekin haan itna jaroor pata hai,
woh kam se kam meri shaamon se achhi hi hogi,
kyonki meri shaam to uss shaam ko,
yaad karte karte raat mein badal jati hai,
phir wohi andhera, phir wohi sunapan,
rehkar mujhe uss shaam ki aur kheench lata hai.

aaj phir mujhe wohi shaam kisi aur ki nazaron mein nazar aati hai,
kisi aur ki nazaron mein nazar aati hai...
