be-khudi mein shaan-e-khuddaari bhi hai — Mustafa Rahi

shaayad hi raas aae mujhe aish-e-marg bhi
'raahi' gham-e-hayaat kaa maaraa huaa huun main

allaah tere haath hai khuddaariyon ki laaj
daanista haadsaat se Takraa gayaa huun main

dil dhaDaktaa hai sitaaron kaa yahaan
uf ye duniyaa kis qadar taarik hai

na samjhaa koi asraar-e-mohabbat
jo samjhaa kuchh dil-e-naadaan samjhaa

aadamiyyat kaa zikr kyaa naaseh
aadmi ab kahaan hain saae hain

dekhiye kab tak yahi haalat yahi aalam rahe
dil ki har dhaDkan ye kahti hai ki vo aane ko hain

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

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

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

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

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain
