divaar-e-khvaab mein koi dar kar nahin sake — Mahender Kumar Sani

darakht-e-zard mein jaise haraa saa rahtaa hai
vo Thiik usi tarah mujhi mein bharaa saa rahtaa hai

raushni mein lafz ke tahlil ho jaane se qabl
ik khalaa paDtaa hai jis mein ghumtaa rahtaa huun main

raat din gardish mein hain lekin paDaa rahtaa huun main
kaam kyaa meraa yahaan hai sochtaa rahtaa huun main

main tanhaai ko apnaa ham-safar kyaa maan baiThaa
mujhe lagtaa hai mere saath duniyaa chal rahi hai

tujhe raushni se judaa karun kisi shaam main
tujhe itni taab mein dekhnaa nahin ho rahaa

main apni yaatraa par jaa rahaa huun
mujhe ab lauT kar aanaa nahin hai

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

charaagh ki thartharaati lau mein har os qatre mein har kiran mein
tumhaari aankhein kahaan nahin thiin tumhaaraa chehra kahaan nahin thaa

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

main hisaar-e-zulmat-e-shab mein huun jo bhaTak rahaa huun gali gali
mujhe tirgi se gilaa nahin mujhe raushni ki talaash hai
