Ye Kaun Aayaa

mahafeel kis ke naam se
mere ghar mein jaise sooraj nikalaa hain shaam se
yaade hain kuchh aayee see, yaa kirane laharaayeesee
dil mein soye geeto ne, lee hain fir angadaeesee
aramaanon kee madiraa chhalakee, aakhiyon ke jaam se
aahat pe halakee halakee, chhaatee dhadake paayal kee
har goree se naa musakaa, ye lahare poochhe aachal kee
choopake choopake raadhaa koee poochhe apane shaam se
kyaa kaheeye is aane ko, aayaa hain tarasaane ko
dekhaa us ne has has ke, har apane begaane ko
lekin kitanaa bepawraa hai, mere hee salaam se
