sab kaa daaman motiyon se bharne vaale — Krishna Kumar Toor

us ko khonaa asl mein us ko paanaa hai
haasil kaa hi partav hai laa-haasil mein

bahut kahaa thaa ki tum akele na rah sakoge
bahut kahaa thaa ki ham ko yuun dar-ba-dar na karnaa

kab tak tu aasmaan mein chhup ke baiThegaa
maang rahaa huun main kab se duaa baahar aa

main to thaa maujud kitaab ke lafzon mein
vo hi shaayad mujh ko paDhnaa bhuul gayaa

main vahm huun ki haqiqat ye haal dekhne ko
giraft hotaa huun apnaa visaal dekhne ko

band paDe hain shahar ke saare darvaaze
ye kaisaa aaseb ab ghar ghar lagtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dabaa sakaa na sadaa us ki teri bazm kaa shor
khamosh rah ke bhi koi sadaa banaa huaa hai

ashk-e-gham dida-e-pur-nam se sambhaale na gae
ye vo bachche hain jo maan baap se paale na gae

jab yaad mein taDpein to mohabbat ko baDhaa dein
khud dard-e-mohabbat ki masihaai mohabbat
