Last rites of the sun: Suraj ka janaaza

Suraj ka janaaza

Aaj pehli baar
Suraj ko baadal ke peechhe
Chhupe dekhkar
Aisa lagaa ke
Sharminda hai woh

Ab uski roshni ki kisiko zaroorat nahin
Sab din mein bhi andhera mehsoos karte hai
Aakhein band kar lete hai
Aur jab nazar milani ho
Tau uss lau ke parde se jhankte hai

Ab dhoop ki garmee ki kisiko zaroorat nahin
Sab aag mein lipte hue hai
Seene mein angaaron ke saath jal rahe hai
Jab tak yeh nafrat khaak ho jaayegi
Tab tak insaan eik chitta ban jaayega

Aaj baadal ki jeet ho gayi
Suraj ko doobte hue dekhna bhi naseeb mein nahin tha
Raat ko kya ilzaam de
Din ne hi usey dafna diya
