gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun — Zubair Rizvi

ye lamha lamha takalluf ke TuTte rishte
na itne paas mire aa ki tu puraanaa lage

surkhiyaan akhbaar ki galiyon mein ghul karti rahin
log apne band kamron mein paDe sote rahe

auraton ki aankhon par kaale kaale chashme the sab ki sab barahana thiin
zaahidon ne jab dekhaa saahilon kaa ye manzar likh diyaa gunaahon mein

sukhan ke kuchh to guhar main bhi nazr kartaa chalun
ajab nahin ki karein yaad maah o saal mujhe

zindagi jin ki rifaaqat pe bahut naazaan thi
un se bichhDi to koi aankh mein aansu bhi nahin

haae ye apni saada-mizaaji atom ke is daur mein bhi
agle vaqton ki si sharaafat DhunD rahi hai shahron mein

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

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

tere bin hayaat ki soch bhi gunaah thi
ham qarib-e-jaan tiraa hisaar dekhte rahe

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo
