raste ki anjaan khushi hai — Asif Saqib

sameT le gae sab rahmatein kahaan mehmaan
makaan kaaTtaa phirtaa hai mezbaanon ko

dil ki maujon ki taDap meri sadaa mein aae
daaere karb ke phaile to havaa mein aae

lakir khinch ke mujh pe vo phir mujhe dekhe
nigaar-o-naqsh mein chehra hai hu-ba-hu meraa

siine ke biich 'saaqib' aisaa hai marnaa jiinaa
ik yaad ji uThi thi ik yaad mar gai hai

kis darja munaafiq hain sab ahl-e-havas 'saaqib'
andar se to patthar hain aur lagte hain paani se

qaidi rihaa hue the pahan kar nae libaas
ham to qafas se oDh ke zanjir chal paDe

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

daulat nahin kaam aati jo taqdir buri ho
qaarun ko bhi apnaa khazaanaa nahin miltaa

khud hi jaane lage the aur khud hi
raasta rok kar khaDe hue hain

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

ye gum hue hain khayaal-e-visaal-e-jaanaan mein
ki ghar mein phirte hain ham apni justuju karte
