Triveni - 3

(As you can guess, Triveni bug has bitten me hard and here is the third set in the series. This time, I have tried more of romantic-fantastical themes, so not much of an experimentation, as far as the construction goes; emphasis is more on the feel.)

Pal

Ghaayal huye zamana hua,
par yaadon ka namak barasta hai.
Dekh yeh pal, ab bhi tadapta hai...

Bar-qaraar

Jab tu gussey mein jaati hai, palat-ti bhi nahin,
aur khaati hai thokar, main samajh jaata hoon.
Mohabbat bar-qaraar hai.

Aawaaz

Aawaazon ki bheed aur khayaalon ki hulchul se parey,
Koi sunsaan mazhab chalaaya jaaye.
Teri aankhon ko namaaz, mujhe namaazi banaya jaaye.

Chaand

Chaand shab bhar kyun akadta hai,
Daayam toh hai tu, daayar nahin.
Hoga haseen tu, par main koi shaayar nahin.

(Daayam: permanent, Daayar: Limit)

Ada

Dhoop mein, iss-se chhanti hain kiranein,
Barsaat mein halki boondein aati hain.
Mere toote chhaatey mein, teri ada hai Dilbar.
