zakhm-e-tanhaai mein khushbu-e-hinaa kis ki thi — Muzaffar Warsi

Dubone vaalon ko sharminda kar chukaa hungaa
main Duub kar hi sahi paar utar chukaa hungaa

main ne noch ke pheinkin jo shiknein chaadar se
vo sab shiknein duniyaa maathe par le aai

kaahkashaan ke khvaab 'muzaffar' dekh rahaa thaa
aur bedaari ret ke Tiile par le aai

yuun mahsus huaa apni gahraai mein jaa kar
jaise koi mauj kinaare par le aai

ham karein baat dalilon se to rad hoti hai
us ke honTon ki khamoshi bhi sanad hoti hai

kuchh na kahne se bhi chhin jaataa hai ejaaz-e-sukhan
zulm sahne se bhi zaalim ki madad hoti 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

kuchh dard ke maare hain kuchh naaz ke hain paale
kuchh log hain ham jaise kuchh log hain tum jaise

vo lahu pi kar baDe andaaz se kahtaa hai ye
gham kaa har tufaan us ke ghar ke baahar aaegaa

ye risaala ishq kaa hai adaq tire ghaur karne kaa hai sabaq
kabhi dekh is ko varaq varaq miraa siina gham ki kitaab hai
