DIWALI
DIWALI

Aakhir hamey yeh yakin aa gaya

koi khwaab milney hasiin aa gaya

 

sajiN mehfileN tou yun hamko laga

duaaoN me phir se asar aa gaya

 

bhartey the hum chaand ke kaan yun

ke taaron ka mausam zamin aa gaya

 

chaabi ka chhalley sa hota hai gum

ke roshan chiraagon pe dil aa gaya

 

dil-kash nazaarey jhilmil jahaaN

diwali ka mausam hamey bha gaya

   

At last, I have to believe

That melodic dream is here

 

When I see get-togethers warm up

It feels like my prayers have been answered

 

I was teasing the moon by saying this

That it’s the night of stars on earth

 

Heart keeps getting lost like bunch of keys

As it is mesmerized by twinkling illumination

 

Dazzling sight is a fancy of the heart

I am fond of the season of Diwali.
