nahin hai khvaab divaane kaa hasti — Bilqis Zafirul Hasan

teri to 'bilqis' niraali hi baatein hain
is duniyaa mein kaise tiraa guzaaraa hogaa

apni to koi baat banaae nahin bani
kuchh ham na kah sake to kuchh us ne nahin suni

hai yuun ki kuchh to baghaavat-sirisht ham bhi hain
sitam bhi us ne zarurat se kuchh ziyaada kiyaa

uTh kar chale gae to kabhi phir na aaeinge
phir laakh tum bulaao sadaaein diyaa karo

dahshat-zada zamin par vahshat bhare makaan ye
is shahr-e-be-amaan kaa aakhir koi khudaa hai

dar badar ki khaak thi taqdir mein
ham liye kaandhon pe ghar chalte rahe

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

ek parda saa hai fareb-e-nazar
ye bhi uTThe to dekhnaa kyaa hai

jise ek par ek dhokaa milaa ho
vo kaise kisi par bharosa karegaa
