ek saaghar bhi inaayat na huaa yaad rahe — Chakbast Braj Narayan

kiyaa hai faash parda kufr-o-din kaa is qadar main ne
ki dushman hai barhaman aur adu shaikh-e-haram meraa

vatan ki khaak se mar kar bhi ham ko uns baaqi hai
mazaa daamaan-e-maadar kaa hai is miTTi ke daaman mein

zindagi kyaa hai anaasir mein zuhur-e-tartib
maut kyaa hai inhin ajzaa kaa pareshaan honaa

agar dard-e-mohabbat se na insaan aashnaa hotaa
na kuchh marne kaa gham hotaa na jiine kaa mazaa hotaa

adab taalim kaa jauhar hai zevar hai javaani kaa
vahi shaagird hain jo khidmat-e-ustaad karte hain

hai miraa zabt-e-junun josh-e-junun se baDh kar
nang hai mere liye chaak-e-garebaan honaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

ruuh ke is viraane mein teri yaad hi sab kuchh thi
aaj to vo bhi yuun guzri jaise gharibon kaa tyauhaar

zindagi naam hai judaai kaa
aap aae to mujh ko yaad aayaa

gham ki dhuup utarte hi kyuun pighalne lagti hai
yaad ke gharaunde mein mom ki bani khiDki

muddat hui us ko ki miri khalvat-e-shab mein
paighaam jo laai thi sabaa yaad hai ab tak
