taarikh-e-kaaenaat-e-ibaadat junun se hai — Payam Fatehpuri

sukun de na sakin raahatein zamaane ki
jo niind aai tire gham ki chhaanv mein aai

ajiib shai hai tasavvur ki kaar-farmaai
hazaar mahfil-e-rangin sharik-e-tanhaai

nafas nafas pe yahaan rahmaton ki baarish hai
hai bad-nasib jise zindagi na raas aai

malaamaton se junun mein na kuchh kami aai
jaraahaton se baDhi zakhm-e-dil ki raanaai

khushi visaal ki ab hai na ranj-e-tanhaai
ye kis maqaam pe mujh ko hayaat le aai

phailaa fazaa mein naghma-e-zanjir-e-marhabaa
zindaan mein ghuT ke rah na saki zindagi ki baat

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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
