तुमरे दरसन का नैना तरस गए हो.../ जहाँआरा कज्जन (१९१५-१९४५)

 https://youtu.be/EdWQwZP-8dU  

तुमरे दरसन का नैना तरस गए हो

बीते सावन पे भादों बरस गए हो

तुमरे दरसन का नैना तरस गए हो

 

आस, बैठे रहे हम लगाए सजन

तुम न आये, न आये, न आये सजन 

मन की कलियों के गजरे विकस गए हो 

तुमरे दरसन का नैना तरस गए हो

वो समय जिस में हम-तुम मिले थे कभी

जो मुहब्बत के चर्चे हुए थे कभी 

बन के सपने वो आँखों में बस गए हो 

तुमरे दरसन का नैना तरस गए हो
