DyoDhi mein aa gayaa thaa ki baarish zaraa thame — Muzaffar Hanfi

aangan mein ye raat ki raani saanpon kaa ghar kaaT ise
kamra albatta suunaa hai kone mein guldaan lagaa

roti hui ek bhiiD mire gird khaDi thi
shaayad ye tamaasha mire hansne ke liye thaa

shukriya reshmi dilaase kaa
tiir to aap ne bhi maaraa thaa

bachpan mein aakaash ko chhutaa saa lagtaa thaa
is pipal ki shaakhein ab kitni nichi hain

bataaein kyaa ki bechaini baDhaate hain vahi aa kar
bahut bechain ham jin ke liye maalum hote hain

bheDiye aur ishtiraak-shudaa
biich mein ik hiran halaak-shudaa

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

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

aaina khud bhi sanvartaa thaa hamaari khaatir
ham tire vaaste tayyaar huaa karte the

saadgi o purkaari be-khudi o hushyaari
husn ko taghaaful mein jurat-aazmaa paayaa

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

ham ko yaaron ne yaad bhi na rakhaa
'jaun' yaaron ke yaar the ham to
