is raaz ko kyaa jaanein saahil ke tamaashaai — Muzaffar Razmi

ye jabr bhi dekhaa hai taarikh ki nazron ne
lamhon ne khataa ki thi sadiyon ne sazaa paai

khud pukaaregi jo manzil to Thahar jaaungaa
varna khuddaar musaafir huun guzar jaaungaa

mere maahaul mein har samt bure log nahin
kuchh bhale bhi mire hamraah chale aate hain

mujh ko haalaat mein uljhaa huaa rahne de yunhi
main tiri zulf nahin huun jo sanvar jaaungaa

mere daaman mein agar kuchh na rahegaa baaqi
agli naslon ko duaa de ke chalaa jaaungaa

koi saughaat-e-vafaa de ke chalaa jaaungaa
tujh ko jiine ki adaa de ke chalaa jaaungaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi
