गुमसुम

This is another attempt at romantic poetry. I like urdu words so much, they have elegance, softness and more power to portray romantic feelings. Enjoy!!
------------------------------------------
आज क्यों है हम-तुम गुमसुम,
क्यों अँधेरी ही ये चाँदनी,
आज क्यों खामोश है धड़कन,
क्यों बेसुरी है हर रागिनी.

कशिश है थोड़ी थोड़ी,
पर कहा है वो आशिकी,
लफ्ज़ है बरसते,
पर कहा है वो शायरी

बेखुदी है तुमसे,
तुमसे ही प्यार है,
बंदिशे है कुछ ऐसी,
कि होठों पे इंकार है.

Hey.. Nice poem!
Even I love Urdu and I feel it is a royal language and full of words that express that convey the meaning beautifully.
