Mera saaman.

Aik dafa wo yaad hai tum ko
bin batti jab cycle ka chalaan huwa tha
ham ne kese bhooke, pyase becharon si acting ki thi
hawaldar ne ullta aik atthanni de kar bhej diya tha
aik chuwanni meri thi
wo lota do,
-
Sawan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhay hain
aur mere ik khat main liptti raat pari hai
wo raat bhujha do,
-
aur bhi kuch samaan tumhare paas para hai,
wo bhijhwa do,
-
Aik so sola chand ki raatain, aik tumhare kaandhe ka till
geeli mehendi ki khushbo, jhoot moot ke waday ko..
-
Pat jhar main kuch patton ke girne ki aahat
kaanon main ik haar pehen ke lot ai thi
pat jhar ki wo shakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
wo shakh gira do,
-
Mera wo samaan lota do.


Ek ijazat de do bas
Jab iss ko dafnaungi
Main bhi wahin so jaungi
Main bhi wahin sojaungi.

One of my favorite pieces by Gulzar.
