Teri Raat

Aadhi andheri raat mein, ek pura chaand tha
aur teri yaad mein, aadha adhura main

tim timaati battiyaan sab, jal rahi thi paas mein
taare kehte hain unhe, itna toh tab bhi yaad tha
khoya nahi tha raat bhar, bas raat soyi bhar to thi
aur andhere ko apne, naapta tha main

chhoote toh chalte hi gaye, faaslon ke darmiyaan
ek tera haath tha, ek mera haath tha
odhni us raat ki, dhakne lagi thi har khushi
aur tujh ko sochkar, tha muskuraata main
