Anarkali – Ishq Ki Maut

Anarkali – Ishq Ki Maut

Chaandni raaton mein, ek sapna sajaya tha,
Shehzade ki baahon mein, dil apna churaya tha.
Mitti ki mohabbat ko sultani farmaan mila,
Mohabbat ke nagme ko, sirf shama ka armaan mila.

Main hoon Anarkali, ishq ki maut likhi gayi,
Ek pal ki khushi, ek umr ki raat likhi gayi.
Zinda dafan hoon, magar rooh nahi mari,
Shehzade ke dil mein ab bhi ek aah bari.

Gulon ke angan mein kaanto ki chhaya thi,
Dil ki duniya sirf ashqon ki maya thi.
Jisne tha sajaya pyaar ka mahal,
Usi ki taqdeer mein likhi thi peetal ki shakal.

Deewarein boli thi, jab pyaar bechain tha,
Shehzada chahkar bhi, sirf majboor ek sainik tha.
Mohabbat ka suraj dhal chuka tha,
Ek raja ka hukum, ek aashiq ka dukh ban chuka tha.

Jab bhi shehnai bajegi, kahani phir aayegi,
Rang-mahal ke panno pe, yaadon ki aag lagayegi.
Main hoon Anarkali, ek amar dastaan hoon,
Mohabbat ka geet hoon, jo sadiyon tak jawaan hoon…
