WOH SHAM
THAT EVENING
Woh bhool guye,
Mujhe kyun yaad ruhi woh sham,
Dhalti raat ka masti bharra jaam,
Subah ki dhundh mein khoya,
Woh dharakta pehla pyaar,
Muhabbat ke uncchuey nashe mein,
Khone ko do dil bekaraar,
Unn khaamosh nigaaho ka,
Toofani madmast sa nasha,
Baaho mein bhurne ki,
Woh kashish woh tadhap,
chandni raat ka jaadu tha,
Ya muhabbat ka thha assar,
Janamo ke bhandhan
Pal mein baandh guyi mai,
Unke garm aagosh mein
Juhaan ko bhool guyi mai,
Woh muhabbat ke naazuk se pal thhe,
Ya kisi duldul ki gumraah jannat,
kucch woh behke,
Kucch mai khoyi,
Madhoshi ke uss pal mein,
Pal ke uss milan mein,
Taa janam unse bhandh guyi mai,
Unki ho guyi mai,
Yeh gehraate dardnaak saaye,
Tanha behte khamosh aansoo,
Ai khudaa taras khaa,
Zarra yeh to bataa,
Woh bhool guye,
Mujhe kyun yaad ruhi woh sham ?
You forgot,
Why I remember that evening,
Waning night's that intoxicating goblet,
lost in the fog of the early morn,
Throbbing of that first love,
Longing of two hearts to get lost,
In love's untouched intoxication.
Those silent dreamy eyes,
Their stormy intoxication,
That attraction, that yearning,
To hold me in your arms,
Was it magic of the moonlit night,
Or influence of that first love,
Bond of lives I tied in a moment,
Lost in love's warm embrace,
Forgot this world,
That moment's meeting tied us for life,
Were they the delicate moments of love,
Or the misleading marshy paradise,
A little you went astray,
Little I got lost,
That moment of intoxication,
The meeting of that moment,
Tied me to you for life,
Became yours forever,
These deep dark painful shadows,
Solitary silently flowing tears,
Oh! God, have mercy,
Just let me know,
You forgot,
Why I remember that evening ?????
