pattharon ke ye sanam sunte hain kab — Rohit Rahi

in bahaaron ki havaaon ko shikaayat ham se hai
ham kali ko lams se gul karte hain jaan-e-jigar

'ishq ki fitrat sadaa aazaad hai
qaid mein dair-o-haram ki kab rahaa

qaid kyaa dair-o-haram ki zaahido
jalva-gar hai har taraf meraa sanam

huun khafaa saare zamaane se faqat tere liye
'ishq ki tauhid mere tu kabhi to jaanegaa

ham-mizaaji kaa na yuun daa'vaa karo
aashnaa honaa miraa aasaan nahin

paarsaai kaa tujhe 'rohit' milegaa kyaa samar
kahte hain duniyaa jise sadiyon se be-tartib hai

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

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

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

duniyaa gharib jaan ke hansti thi 'mir' par
'iqbaal' mujh pe aise ye duniyaa hansi ki bas

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa
