jin ki ungli thaam ke chalnaa sikhaa thaa — Ateeb Quadri

koi kashti kahin maghrur ho jaae na paani mein
sukut-e-bahr ko qasdan talaatum honaa paDtaa hai

agli naslein kar sakein tafriq-e-duniyaa-o-iram
maaon ke qisson mein bhi shaddaad honaa chaahiye

tumhaare hijr mein jab bhi calendar par nigaah Daali
sitambar ke mahine ko sitamgar hi paDhaa main ne

puchhne vaalon ne puchhaa haath kaise jal gayaa
kaise batlaaein kisi ke dil pe rakkhaa thaa kabhi

hamaare sar pe pech-o-kham kaa ye saafa viraasat hai
ki tum pagDi samajhte ho jise ham taaj kahte hain

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

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
