taajjub kuchh nahin 'daanaa' jo baazaar-e-siyaasat mein — 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

ghar ki viraaniyaan le jaae churaa kar koi
isi ummid pe darvaaza khulaa rakkhaa hai

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

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

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

usi ki tarah mujhe saaraa zamaanaa chaahe
vo miraa hone se zyaada mujhe paanaa chaahe

us but-e-kaafir kaa zaahid ne bhi naam aisaa japaa
daana-e-tasbih har ik raam-daanaa ho gayaa

ku-e-jaanaan mein na ghairon ki rasaai ho jaae
apni jaagir ye yaa-rab na paraai ho jaae
