Mera Mann Tha

By Arpit Govil

Neend se joonjh rahi thi aankhien,

Par aaj raaton ko jagaane ka mann tha,

Alphaaz maamooli the meri tarqash me,

Par teri dilkash yaadien sajaane ka mann tha,

Majbooran, rubaru na the hum ek dooje se,

Warna teri majoodgi me khilkhilaane ka mann tha,

Tere pyaar ke sagar me khud ko doobta pata hun main,

Ab kahaan mujhe kisi tinke ke sahare ka mann tha,

Judaai ke zulm ki shikast har roz thaka deti hai tan ko,

Warna shaam ke aanchal me tere sang kho jaane ka mann tha,

Ye jheel si aankhien, jinki taah naapni hai,

Is dariya se pyaas bujhaane ka mann tha,

Hansi ki daulat lutaati phirti hai sab par,

Us baarish me mujhe bhi bheeg jaane ka mann tha,

Dastan-e-mohabbat ke manzar nahi chune humne,

Tere haath me haath daale kai manzile paane ka mann tha.

Neendein tere khayaal bhar se mere pass nahi baith ti,

Apni subaah ko tere naam se jagaane ka mann tha,

Teri khushi pe mere hazaar armaa kurbaan,

Bas isi khumaari me yuhin jee jaane ka mann tha
