Kavish Badri

meri avaz ko avaz ne taqsim kiya
radio men huun telephone ke andar huun main

ek bosa honT par phaila tabassum ban gaya
jo hararat thi miri us ke badan men aa ga.i

ab na vo ahbab zinda hain na rasm-ul-khat vahan
ruuTh kar urdu to dehli se dakan men aa ga.i

sha.iri men anfus-o-afaq mub.ham hain abhi
isti.ara hi haqiqat men khuda sa khvab hai

mahaul sab ka ek hai anhken vahi nazren vahi
sab se alag rahen miri sab se juda manzar mira

saans lene bhi na paaya tha ki manzar gum hua
main kisi qabil na tha varna Thaharta aur kuchh

ek bosa honT par phailaa tabassum ban gayaa
jo haraarat thi miri us ke badan mein aa gai

ab na vo ahbaab zinda hain na rasm-ul-khat vahaan
ruuTh kar urdu to dehli se dakan mein aa gai

shaairi mein anfus-o-aafaaq mubham hain abhi
istiaara hi haqiqat mein khudaa saa khvaab hai

az-sar-e-nau fikr kaa aaghaaz karnaa chaahiye
be-par-o-baal sahi parvaaz karnaa chaahiye

javaab dene ki mohlat na mil saki ham ko
vo pal mein laakh savaalaat kar ke jaataa hai

maahaul sab kaa ek hai aanhkein vahi nazrein vahi
sab se alag raahein miri sab se judaa manzar miraa
