fikr-e-tajdid-e-hijr hai varna — Zahoor Minhas

ye to insaaniyat ko Thokar hai
aadmi aadmi kaa naukar hai

vo thak gai thi bhiiD mein chalte hue 'zahur'
us ke badan pe an-ginat aankhon kaa bojh thaa

koi bhi hal nahin udaasi kaa
mujh se kamre ne baarhaa puchhaa

tamaam shahr mein baarish ki dhaak baiTh gai
jo uD rahi thi havaaon mein khaak baiTh gai

bheji tasvir bhi to aankhon ki
yaa'ni aankhein dikhaa rahi ho mujhe

gaaDi mein bhi ghar ko soche jaataa huun
gaaDi aage aur main pichhe jaataa huun

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

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

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain

ikaTThe kar ke teri dusri tasvir khinchungaa
vo sab jalve jo chhan chhan kar tiri chilman se nikleinge

kitnaa sochaa thaa dil lagaaeinge
sochte sochte hayaat hui

miri baaton se ab aazurda na honaa saaqi
is ghaDi aql miri mujh se judaa phirti hai
