main ne phulon ki aarzu ki thi — Athar Shah Khan Jaidi

biviyaan chaar hain aur phir bhi hasinon se shaghaf
bhaai tu baiTh ke aaraam se ghar-baar chalaa

koi to DhunD ke laae ki muntazim hai kahaan
lifaafa gar nahin detaa na de kiraaya to de

khiDkiyon se nazar us ki haTti nahin
meraa beTaa to baaligh-nazar ho gayaa

magar bas apne hi baare mein kuchh nahin maalum
maroD kal se jo meade mein hai sabab kyaa hai

vo saadgi mein un ko do saamain samjhaa
bas aaThvin ghazal par munkir-nakir bhaage

laDke ki amaan ye bolin kaam kare us ki juuti
do bhaai bhatta lete hain abbaa khair se Daaku hain

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

puuri na agar ho to koi chiiz nahin hai
nikle jo mire dil se to hasrat hai baDi chiiz

khudaa se milne ki aarzu thi vo bandagi thi
khudaa ko mahsus kar rahaa huun ye shaa'iri hai

ai aarzu ke dhundle kharaabo javaab do
phir kis ki yaad aai thi mujh ko pukaarne

devtaa banne ki hasrat mein muallaq ho gae
ab zaraa niche utariye aadmi ban jaaiye

aaghaaz se zaahir hotaa hai anjaam jo hone vaalaa hai
andaaz-e-zamaana kahtaa hai puuri ho tamannaa mushkil hai
