Anarkali – Zinda Dafan

Anarkali – Zinda Dafan

Chhup chhup ke dekha tha ek sapna suhana,
Shehzade ke dil mein tha mera aashiyana.
Mehfilon mein sajti thi mohabbat ki kahani,
Par taqdeer ne likhi sirf tanha bedaani.

Main hoon Anarkali, mohabbat ki saza hoon,
Zinda dafan hoon, par rooh ab bhi zinda hoon.
Ishq ka har qatra, deewaron mein simat gaya,
Par dil ka nagma sadiyon tak bajta raha.

Gulon ke beech bhi kaante ugaye gaye,
Shehzade ke sapne bhi aankhon se mitaye gaye.
Aashiq ki duniya sirf ek rang-mahal tha,
Par mohabbat ka raasta sirf dukhon ka mahal tha.

Deewarein royi thi, jab awaaz meri ruki,
Ishq ka safar, bas ek mitti mein dhul chuki.
Shehzada bhi roya, par farmaan tha sakht,
Ek raja ka hukum, ek prem ka shrap.

Jab bhi chaand chamkega, naam mera gungunaayega,
Rang-mahal ki raaton mein, ek saya muskurayega.
Main hoon Anarkali, ek amar dastaan hoon,
Ek shama jo bujhti nahi, mohabbat ki misaal hoon…
