koi daanaa koi divaana milaa — Chandrabhan Khayal

vaqt aur haalaat par kyaa tabsira kiije ki jab
ek uljhan dusri uljhan ko suljhaane lage

nazar mein shokh shabihein liye hue hai sahar
abhi na koi idhar se dhuaan dhuaan guzre

sochtaa huun to aur baDhti hai
zindagi hai ki pyaas hai koi

apni divaaron se kuchh baahar nikal
sirf khaali ghar ke baam-o-dar na dekh

shahr mein jurm-o-havaadis is qadar hain aaj-kal
ab to ghar mein baiTh kar bhi log ghabraane lage

paas se dekhaa to jaanaa kis qadar maghmum hain
an-ginat chehre ki jin ko shaadmaan samjhaa thaa main

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

dhaDakti qurbaton ke khvaab se jaage to jaanaa
zaraa se vasl ne kitnaa akelaa kar diyaa hai

dil to be-tarah meraa lag hi chalaa thaa us se
par main juun tuun ke bachaayaa ise khuddaari se

ai jalva-e-jaanaana phir aisi jhalak dikhlaa
hasrat bhi rahe baaqi armaan bhi nikal jaae

use bataanaa parinde use bulaate hain
use bataanaa ki shaair udaas hai us kaa
