jaan de di tere raaj ne

do ashq meri yaad mein
bahaa dete to kya jaata,
chaar phool meri laash par
chardha dete to kya jaata…?

aaye ho meri mayyat par
nakaab daal kar sanam,
murdon ko chaand ka tukda
dikha dete to kya jaata…?

poochte hain tumse log
kiska yeh arthi hai,
marne waala kaun tha ?
bataa dete to kya jaata…?

keh rahi hai sab kahani
tere haathon ki mehndi,
kisi aur din ye kissa
sunaa dete to kya jaata…?

mera saans rukta hai,
mera dam nikaalta hai,
meri duaa ko haath tum
utthaa dete to kya jaata…?

jaan de di tere raaj ne
tumhari hi mohabbat mein,
ek chiraag tum samadhi par
jalaa dete to kya jaata…?
