dasht jaisi ujaaD hain aankhein — Siraj Faisal Khan

main kahkashaaon mein khushiyaan talaashne niklaa
mire sitaare meraa chaand sab udaas rahe

zamin mere sajde se tharraa gai
mujhe aasmaan se pukaaraa gayaa

bichhaD jaaeinge ham donon zamin par
ye us ne aasmaan par likh diyaa hai

vasl mein suukh gai hai miri sochon ki zamin
hijr aae to miri soch ko shaadaab kare

likkhaa hai taarikh ke safhe safhe par ye
shaahon ko bhi daas banaayaa jaa saktaa hai

aaj meri ik ghazal ne us ke honTon ko chhuaa
aaj pahli baar apni shaairi achchhi lagi

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

ye khvaab kaun dikhaane lagaa taraqqi ke
jab aadmi bhi adad mein shumaar hone lage

kyaa jaane use vahm hai kyaa meri taraf se
jo khvaab mein bhi raat ko tanhaa nahin aataa

vaqt-e-piri shabaab ki baatein
aisi hain jaise khvaab ki baatein
