Baaqi Shaam

Shaam baaqi thi main mehfil se chala aaya tha
Bujhte angaaron ko main fir se jala aaya tha

Aaye to they wahaan sab shaam ko rangeen karne
Dil ko karne roshan kon bhala aaya tha

Chehre apnon ke bhi lagte nahi the apnon se
Har koyi ajnabi rangon mein dhala aaya tha

Sard jismo ki tapish ka 'khayaal' kisne kiya
Kisko pata chala ke ek dil ka jalaa aaya tha...

-'Khayaal'
