Tahir Adeem

mujhe vo chhoD kar jab se gaya hai intiha hai
rag-o-pai men faza-e-karbala hai intiha hai

rang kya ajab diya meri bevafa.i ko
us ne yuun kiya ki mere khat jala.e uud men

khirad ke laakh qasid hain to honge
junun ka nama-bar koi nahin hai

havadis bhi vahin ham bhi vahin hain
magar ab chashm-e-tar koi nahin hai

ba-juz mere yahan meri vafa ka
havala mo'atabar koi nahin hai

use bhi parda-e-tahzib ko girana hai
mujhe bhi paikar-e-nayab se nikalna hai

hain dastaras mein abhi bhi 'taahir' uThaa ke ab is ko pi bhi Daalo
mushaahidon mein hi ho gai gar ye ThanDi chaae to kyaa karoge

har ek rasta-e-paayaab se nikalnaa hai
saraab-e-umr ke har baab se nikalnaa hai

faqat tum hi nahin naaraaz mujh se jaan-e-jaanaan
mire andar kaa insaan tak khafaa hai intihaa hai

mujhe vo chhoD kar jab se gayaa hai intihaa hai
rag-o-pai mein fazaa-e-karbalaa hai intihaa hai

rang kyaa ajab diyaa meri bevafaai ko
us ne yuun kiyaa ki mere khat jalaae uud mein

khirad ke laakh qaasid hain to honge
junun kaa naama-bar koi nahin hai
