Ek Mehfil aur Ek Ajnabee...

Us din ke mehfil me - humara janaa bhi khoob raha;
Ek haseen ajnabee se, takraana bhi khoob raha!

Waise to anjaanon se yoon khulkar hum milte nahi -
Magar us anjaan chehre ko pehchaanana bhi khoob raha!

Dilpheynk toh hum nahi; Guroor thoda hum me bhi hai,
Magar ek anjaaney key liye is dil ka dhadknaa khoob raha!

Abtakk Log dekhtey they humey, humne kisiko nihara nahi,
Lekin un nigahon me, humaraa doobna bhi khoob raha!

Woh toh khamosh rahey… Bharey Mehfil me raatbhar,
Aur unhisey baat karneke liye – humara tadapna bhi khoob raha!

Abtakk hum samjhe nahi – kyoun rehta hai dil na saboor?
Lekin unhey samney paakar, sukoon ka lautna khoob raha!

Mehfil-e-shaam ke dhaltey, shayad wo humey bhool gaye…
Magar achanak dobaraa sey unsey milna bhi khoob raha!

Lagta tha milkar unsey, kaheen aadat na padd jaye unki … Lekin
Unsey mehroom hokar, unko khud me hi panaa bhi khoob raha!

~~Rups~~
Unsey toh bahot kuch mila hai, dard bhi dawaa bhi;
Lekin unsey milne ke baad, duniya se khona bhi khoob raha...!!

'Ek Mehfil Aur Ek Ajnabee' ... Dedicated to the FIRST sight ... the FIRST meet!!!
