aql vaalon mein hai guzar meraa — Akhilesh Tiwari

be-sabab kuchh bhi nahin hotaa hai yaa yuun kahiye
aag lagti hai kahin par to dhuaan hotaa hai

subh-saveraa daftar biivi bachche mahfil nindein raat
yaar kisi ko mushkil bhi hoti hai is aasaani par

phislan ye kinaaron pa ye Thahraav nadi kaa
sab saaf ishaare hain ki gahraai bahut hai

hansnaa ronaa paanaa khonaa marnaa jiinaa paani par
paDhiye to kyaa kyaa likkhaa hai dariyaa ki peshaani par

khayaal aayaa hamein bhi khudaa ki rahmat kaa
sunaai jab bhi paDi hai azaan pinjre mein

har-dam badan ki qaid kaa ronaa fuzul hai
mausam sadaaein de to bikhar jaanaa chaahiye

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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

bagulaa jin ke sar par chatr-e-shaahi hai zamin masnad
vahi aqlim-e-gham mein aah ki naubat bajaate hain

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
