nahin duniyaa mein aazaadi kisi ko — Bahram Ji

nahin but-khaana o kaaba pe mauquf
huaa har ek patthar mein sharar band

hai musalmaan ko hamesha aab-e-zamzam ki talaash
aur har ik barhaman gang-o-jaman mein mast hai

pataa miltaa nahin us be-nishaan kaa
liye phirtaa hai qaasid jaa-ba-jaa khat

zaahidaa kaabe ko jaataa hai to kar yaad-e-khudaa
phir jahaazon mein khayaal-e-naa-khudaa kartaa hai kyuun

zaahiri vaaz se hai kyaa haasil
apne baatin ko saaf kar vaaiz

DhunDh kar dil mein nikaalaa tujh ko yaar
tu ne ab mehnat miri be-kaar ki

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

tere naam kaa taaraa jaane kab dikhaai de
ik jhalak ki khaatir ham raat bhar Tahalte hain

gunjungaa tere zehn ke gumbad mein raat-din
jis ko na tu bhulaa sake vo guftugu huun main
