Thaharnaa bhi miraa jaanaa shumaar hone lagaa — Azhar Faragh

ye nahin dekhte kitni hai riyaazat kis ki
log aasaan samajh lete hain aasaani ko

bahut se saanp the is ghaar ke dahaane par
dil is liye bhi khazaana shumaar hone lagaa

badal ke dekh chuki hai reaayaa saahib-e-takht
jo sar qalam nahin kartaa zabaan khinchtaa hai

bhanvar se ye jo mujhe baadbaan khinchtaa hai
zarur koi havaaon ke kaan khinchtaa hai

dalil us ke dariche ki pesh ki main ne
kisi ko patli gali se nahin nikalne diyaa

aisi ghurbat ko khudaa ghaarat kare
phuul bhejvaane ki gunjaaish na ho

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

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae

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

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai
