wo jo shayar tha

wo jo shayar tha, chup sa rehta tha
behki behki si baatein karta tha
aankhein kaanon pe rakh k sunta tha
gongi khamoshiyon ki aawazein!
jama karta tha chaand k saaye
geeli geeli si noor ki bonden
oak mein bhar k kharrkharrata tha
rokhe rokhe se raat k patte
waqt k is ghanere jungle mein
kachche pakke se lamhe chunta tha

haan, wohi, wo ajeeb sa shayar
raat ko uth k kohniyon k bal
chaand ki thorri choma karta hai!!

Chaand se gir k mar gaya hai wo
log kehte hain khudkushi ki hai
