ghar ki viraaniyaan le jaae churaa kar koi — Abbas Dana

tum aake lauT gae phir bhi ho yahin maujud
tumhaare jism ki khushbu mire makaan mein hai

is se baDh kar tiri yaadon ki karun kyaa taazim
teri yaadon mein zamaane ko bhulaa rakkhaa hai

taajjub kuchh nahin 'daanaa' jo baazaar-e-siyaasat mein
qalam bik jaaein to sach baat likhnaa chhoD dete hain

apne hi khuun se is tarah adaavat mat kar
zinda rahnaa hai to saanson se baghaavat mat kar

us se puchho azaab raston kaa
jis kaa saathi safar mein bichhDaa hai

hai jism sakht magar dil bahut hi naazuk hai
ki jaise aaina mahfuz ik chaTTaan mein hai

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
