Kaisi thi woh raat

Kaisi thi woh raat kuch keh sakta nahi main
Chahoon kehna to bayan kar sakta nahi mai,

Dulhan ban ke meri jab woh bahoon main aayee thi
Sej saji thi phoolon ki par us ne mehkai thi,

Ghunghat mein ik chand tha aur sirf tanhai thi
Awaaz dil ke dhadak ne ki bhi phir zor se aayee thi,

Pyar se jo maine ghunghat chand par se hataya tha
Pyar ka rang bhi utarkar uske chehre par aya tha,

Bahoon mein le kar usko phir laboo ki lali churai thi
Us sard raat mein saanse bhi shola ban kar takrai thi,

Tika,bindi,kangna, payal sabne shor machaya tha
Jab uske shokh badan ko maine haath lagaya tha,

Doob gaye the hum dono us dehekti pyar ki aag mein
Tod diya tha hum ne kaliyo ko uske pyar ke baag mein,

Kya batlaaye ab hum, woh raat kis kadar nirali thi
Hamare suhag ki woh raat,jo itni matwali thi……..
