रात की रानी 

अगर फ़िराक़ गोरखपुरी जैसे अज़ीम और श्रेष्ठ शायर की कलम से जो यह लिखवाये,  “वो कभी रंग वो कभी ख़ुशबू गाह गुल गाह रात-रानी है।” और, यह भी कि,  “दिन को सूरज-मुखी है वो नौ-गुल रात को है वो रात-रानी भी।“ तो यह फूल तो कुछ विशेष ही अद्भुत और निश्चय ही अद्वितीय होगा। तो कौनContinue reading “रात की रानी “
