dil ki aavaara-mizaaji kaa gilaa kyaa kiije — Sharar Fatehpuri

kuchh na hone kaa gumaan thaa phir bhi
kuchh to hone ko huaa thaa kyaa thaa

us sitam pesha kaa eajaaz-e-sitam hi hogaa
dast-e-qaatil ko agar dast-e-masihaa likkhun

maslahat thi koi vo chup the agar
bolne vaale to khul kar bolte

un se 'sharar' kuchh aise bichhDe
jivan kaa har sapnaa bikhraa

mere hi khuun mein nahlaa ke 'sharar'
vo salibon pe sajaa degaa mujhe

be-hisi vo hai ki is daur mein jiine kaa mazaa
na gunaahon mein rahaa aur na savaabon mein rahaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

munh tak bhi zoaf se nahin aa sakti dil ki baat
darvaaza ghar se saikDon farsang ho gayaa

milaa ke khaak mein sarmaaya-e-dil-e-'bekhud'
vo puchhte hain bataao ye maal kis kaa thaa

aankh rahzan nahin to phir kyaa hai
luuT leti hai qaafila dil kaa

raat bhar un kaa tasavvur dil ko taDpaataa rahaa
ek naqsha saamne aataa rahaa jaataa rahaa
