miri ghazal mein kisi bevafaa kaa zikr na thaa — Rajesh Reddy

kiyaa ijaad jis ne bhi khudaa ko
vo khud ko kaise bahlaataa thaa pahle

saath 'ghaalib' ke gai fikr ki gahraai bhi
aur lahja bhi gayaa 'mir-taqi-mir' ke saath

sab log is se pahle ki devtaa samajhte
ham ne zaraa saa khud ko insaan kar liyaa hai

kyaa jaane kis jahaan mein milegaa hamein sukun
naaraaz hain zamin se khafaa aasmaan se ham

justuju kaa ik ajab silsila taa-umr rahaa
khud ko khonaa thaa kahin aur kahin DhunDhnaa thaa

kaun paDhtaa hai yahaan khol ke ab dil ki kitaab
ab to chehre ko hi akhbaar kiyaa jaanaa hai

ye ghaTaa jaam aur tanhaai
yaad aataa hai bevafaa koi

jab itni bevafaai par dil us ko pyaar kartaa hai
to yaa-rab vo sitam-gar baa-vafaa hotaa to kyaa hotaa

bachche fareb khaa ke chataai pe so gae
ik maan ubaalti rahi pathar tamaam raat

vaise kyaa ghaTiyaa si shai hai ye tamannaa kaa fareb
aap jaison ko bhi ham jaise taras jaate hain

fareb-e-raushni mein aane vaalo main na kahtaa thaa
ki bijli aashiyaane ki nigahbaan ho nahin sakti

mauj-e-takhayyul gul kaa tabassum partav-e-shabnam bijli kaa saaya
dhokaa hai dhokaa naam-e-javaani is ko javaani koi na samjhe
