Patjhad

Jab jab patjhad mein pedon se peele peele
Patte mere lawn mein aa kar girte hain,

Raat ko chhat pe ja kar main
Aaksh mein takta rahta hun,

Lagta hai kamjor sa peela chand bhi shayad
Peepal ke sukhe patte sa
Lehrata lehrata mere lawn mein aa kar utrega..

--Gulzar

Waqt

Waqt ki aankh pe patti bandh ke
Chor sipahi khel rahe the
Raat aur din aur chand aur main

Jane kaise is gardish mein atka paun,
Dur gira ja kar main jaise,
Rosniyon ke dhakke se
Parchhai jameen par girtee hai

Dhaiyya chhune se pehele hi
Waqt ne chor kaha aur aankhen khol ke
Mujhko pakad liya

-- Gulzar
