nikal aae jo ham ghar se to sau raste nikal aae — Siddiq Shahid

aisaa kuchh gardish-e-dauraan ne rakhaa hai masruf
maajare ho na sake ham se qalam-band apne

mujh se kahti hain vo udaas aanhkein
zindagi bhar ki sab thakan yaan hai

khvaab TuuTe paDe hain sab mere
main huun aur hairaton kaa saamaan hai

us ke jaane pe ye ehsaas huaa hai 'shaahid'
vo jazira thaa miraa dukh se bhare paani mein

bajaa hai khvaab-navardi pa khvaab aaise hon
khule jo aankh to apnaa hi ghar khanDar na lage

kuchh aaise daur bhi taaham giraft mein aae
ki ye zamin rahi baaqi na aasamaan hi rahaa

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

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

tumhaari bazm se nikle to ham ne ye sochaa
zamin se chaand talak kitnaa faasla hogaa

apne ehsaas ki shiddat ko bujhaane ke liye
main nai tarz ke khush-fikr risaale maangon

pahle nisaab-e-aql huaa ham se intisaab
phir yuun huaa ki qatl bhi ham kar diye gae

avvalin chaal se aage nahin sochaa main ne
ziist shatranj ki baazi thi so main haar gayaa
