Happy Diwali

Dil bata tune diya kyu jalaya?
Meri ankhon me chubhti is roshni ko niharne,
ya yeh dekhne
ki kaise tilmila uthta hain yeh mann
in patakhon ki aawazon se?

Har saal badti umar ko taaweez banake pehna hain
fir kyu lagi is tarah nazar mere bachpan ko?
Sawalon me jhoonjhte is dare hue man ke
sirf kono me bache he woh khushi wale lamhe.

Kya yeh tera chirag talega yeh andhera?
Kya firse goonjegi kilkariyan ajab?
Kya laut ayega mera bachpan?
Laut ayegi maasoomiyat?

Nahi pata toh bujha de ise
Aur sone de mujhe
mukt hone de mujhe
in jhooti tasalliyon se

Kuch din yaad karke fir bhool jaungi
kaise  manta tha tyohar...
khel wala tyohar, mel wala tyohar
mithai wala tyohar, badhayi wala tyohar
aur jhoot moot haske bol doongi facebook pe
Happy Diwali.
