ilm ki ibtidaa hai hangaama — Firdaus Gayavi

tum ko aanaa hai to aa jaao isi aalam mein
bigDe haalaat gharibon ke sanvarte hain kahin

vahi jo detaa hai duniyaa ko uljhanon se najaat
kabhi kabhi vahi uljhan mein Daal detaa hai

tamaam umr jo hanstaa hi rah gayaa yaaro
balaa kaa dard thaa us shakhs ki kahaani mein

main ek sang huun mujh mein hain suratein pinhaan
mujhe taraashne aazar to saamne aae

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

bagulaa jin ke sar par chatr-e-shaahi hai zamin masnad
vahi aqlim-e-gham mein aah ki naubat bajaate hain

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

us ke rukhsaar pe hai aur tire honT pe til
tilmilaane ki ijaazat nahin di jaaegi

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
