aisaa nahin ki main koi gumnaam shakhs huun — Aadil Muzaffarpuri

vaa'da amir-e-shahr kaa dariyaa-dili kaa thaa
dekh un kaa faiz shahr ko dariyaa banaa diyaa

ek hijrat bhi kam nahin hoti
aankh kis kis ki nam nahin hoti

urdu mein baat kijiye urdu mein boliye
haq hai zabaan kaa pyaar kaa ras is mein gholiye

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

ye shahr hai anjaan kahaan raat guzaarun
hai jaan-na-pahchaan kahaan raat guzaarun

jis din se gayaa vo jaan-e-ghazal har misre ki surat bigDi
har lafz pareshaan dikhtaa hai, is darja varaq namnaak huaa
