Shahir

Jis aag se aaj jee jal utha achanak
Pehle bhee mere seene main baidar hoi thi

Jis karb ki shidat se meri ruh hai be-kal
Pehle bhee meri zeest ka aazaar hoi thi



Jis soch se main aaj lahoo thook raha hon
Pehle bhee mere haq main ye talwar hoi thi

~~~~~~~~

Wo ghum, jise gham-e-duniya kehta hai zaman
Wo ghum, jis ghum se mujhe saro-kar nahe tha

Wo dard, keh har daur kay insan ne jheela
Wo dard mere ishq ka mehyar nahe tha

Wo zakham keh her seene ka nasoor bana tha
Wo zakham mujhe bahas-e-aazaar nahe tha

~~~~~~~

Duniya ne tarap kar mere shanoon ko jhanjora
Lekin mera ehsas gham-e-zaat main gum tha

Aati rehen kaanon main alam-naak pukaren
Lekin mera dil apne he halaat main gum tha

Main waqt se begana zamane se bohat door
Jaam, wo meh, wo meena, wo kharabaat main gum tha

~~~~~~

Darbar ki tafreh ka samaan tha mera fan
Harhon main mere zarf-e-gada, lab pe Ghazal

Shahon ki hawa khowi mera zooq-e-sukhan tha
Ayewano ki tauseef wo sana aoj-e-awal thi

Aur is k qwaz lahal wo johar mujhe milte
Warna mera inham faqat tegh-e-ajal thi

~~~~~~

Cheere kabhi main ne lab-o-rukhsar k qise
Gahe gul-o-bulbul ki hakayat ko nikhara

Gahe kise shehzade k afsane sunaye
Gahe kia duniya-e-paristan ka nazara

Main khoya raha jin-wo-malaik k jahan main
Har lehza agarche mujhe adam ne pukara

~~~~~~

Barson younhi dil jamhi aur nag ki khatir
So phool khelai kabhi so zakham kharede

Main likhta raha hijew baghawat munshon ki
Main prahta raha QASAR nasheenon k qaseede

obhra abhi agar dil main koi jazia sar-kash
Is khoaf se chup tha k koi hont na see dey

~~~~~~

Lekin ye tilasmaat bhee ta-deer na reh paye
Akher meh, wo meena, wo daf, wo ching bhee tute

Youn dast wo gireban hoye insan wo khudawand
Nakhcheer to tarpe kafas rang bhee tute

Is kash-makash-e-zara wo anjum ki fiza main
Kashkool to kia afard aur nag bhee tute
