miri aankhein yahaan tanhaa paDi hain — Sharib Mauranwi

kisi ko maar ke khush ho rahe hain dahshat-gard
kahin pe shaam-e-gharibaan kahin divaali hai

peD ke niche zaraa si chhaanv jo us ko mili
so gayaa mazdur tan par boriyaa oDhe hue

saron pe oDh ke mazdur dhuup ki chaadar
khud apne sar pe use saaebaan samajhne lage

sab ek jaisi hain duniyaa ki ‘auratein lekin
tumhaare Dasne kaa andaaz mukhtalif Thahraa

qafas ke band parinde hain jin ki aankhon mein
asiri ghumti rahti hai qaid-khaanon ki

puuri duniyaa mujhe fankaar samajhti hai to kyaa
mere ghar vaale to naakaara samajhte hain mujhe

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

hindu se puchhiye na musalmaan se puchhiye
insaaniyat kaa gham kisi insaan se puchhiye

meri chaadar to chhini thi shaam ki tanhaai mein
be-ridaai ko miri phir de gayaa tashhir kaun

sitam to ye hai ki vo bhi na ban sakaa apnaa
qubul ham ne kiye jis ke gham khushi ki tarah
