Zaheer Ghazipuri

kaghaz ki naav bhi hai khilaune bhi hain bahut
bachpan se phir bhi haath milana muhal hai

ta-umr apni fikr o riyazat ke bavajud
khud ko kisi saza se bachana muhal hai

bam phaTe log mare khuun baha shahr luTe
aur kya likkha hai akhbar men aage paDhiye

reza reza apna paikar ik na.i tartib men
canvas par dekh kar hairan ho jaana paDa

utre to ka.i baar sahife mire ghar men
milte hain magar sirf jaride mire ghar men

bam phaTe log mare khuun bahaa shahr luTe
aur kyaa likkhaa hai akhbaar mein aage paDhiye

kaaghaz ki naav bhi hai khilaune bhi hain bahut
bachpan se phir bhi haath milaanaa muhaal hai

taa-umr apni fikr o riyaazat ke baavajud
khud ko kisi sazaa se bachaanaa muhaal hai

reza reza apnaa paikar ik nai tartib mein
canvas par dekh kar hairaan ho jaanaa paDaa

utre to kai baar sahife mire ghar mein
milte hain magar sirf jaride mire ghar mein
