puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaand

parveenshakir

puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaand
hijr kii shab aur aisaa chaa.Nd
[hijr=separation; shab=night]

itane ghane baadal ke piichhe
kitanaa tanhaa hogaa chaand
[tanhaa=lonely]

merii karavat par jaag uthe
niind kaa kitanaa kachchaa chaand

seharaa seharaa bhatak rahaa hai
apane ishq mein sachchaa chaand
[seharaa=desert]

raat ke shaayad ek baje hain
sotaa hogaa meraa chaand

wonder what my moon is doing this moment!

apanii rusavaaii tere naam ka charchaa dekhuuN

parveen shakir

apanii rusavaaii tere naam ka charchaa dekhuuN
ek zaraa sher kahuuN aur main kyaa kyaa dekhuuN

niind aa jaaye to kyaa mahafilen barpaa dekhuuN
aaNkh khul jaaye to tanhaaii kaa sahara dekhuuN

shaam bhii ho gaii dhundhalaa gaii aaNkhen bhii merii
bhuulanevaale main kab tak teraa rastaa dekhuuN

sab ziden us kii main puurii karuuN har baat sunuuN
ek bachche kii tarah se use haNstaa dekhuuN

mujh pe chhaa jaaye vo barasaat kii Khushbuu kii tarah
ang ang apanaa usii rut men mahakataa dekhuuN

tuu merii tarah se yaktaa hai magar mere habib
jii men aataa hai koii aur bhii tujh saa dekhuuN

main ne jis lamhe ko puujaa hai use bas ek baar
Khvaab ban kar terii aaNkhon men utarataa dekhuuN

tuu meraa kuchh nahiin lagataa hai magar jaan-e-hayaat
jaane kyon tere liye dil ko dhaDakataa dekhuuN
