मेरे अल्फाजों में (Mere alfaazon mein...)

View of Taj Mahal Across River Agra India


(Original poetry by @kaunquest)

mere alfaazon mein to bas duniyaa daari hai
uski khaamoshiion mein bhi imaandaarii hai

isiiliye to hai mauj-zaan rishtaa  ye uskaa...meraa,
uski kirnon mein yunhi liptaa rahe andheraa meraa....


मेरे अल्फाजों में तो बस दुनियादारी है
उसकी खामोशियों में भी इमानदारी है

इसीलिए तो है मौज-ज़ान रिश्ता ये उसका.. मेरा 
उसकी किरणों में यूँही लिपटा रहे अन्धेरा मेरा.. 

- Kaunquest 

I couldn't think of a better picture for this one than this immortal monument of love.  Legend has it that Shah Jahan planned to build a mirror image of the Taj Mahal in black. If there was one,  then the flowing river may have carried both their reflections, mauj-zan taking within it her bright rays and his darkness for centuries to come.
