Aaj ke daur men aiy dost ye manzar kyuN hai
zaKhm har sar pe har ik haath men patthar kyuN hai
jab haqiqat hai ke har zarre men tu rahtaa hai
phir zamin par kahin masjid kahin mandir kyuN hai
apnaa anjaam to maalum hai sab ko phir bhi
apani nazaron men har insaan sikandar kyuN hai
zindagi jine ke qaabil hi nahin ab “Faakir”
varnaa har aaNkh men ashkon kaa samandar kyuN hai
By : Sudarshan Faakir
tum itnaa jo muskuraa rahe ho
kya Gham hai jis ko chhupaha rahe ho
aaNkhon men nami haNsi labon par
kya haal hai kya dikhaa rahe ho
ban jaayenge zahar pite pite
ye ashk jo pite jaa rahe ho
jin zaKhmon ko waqt bhar chalaa hai
tum kyon unhen chheDe jaa rahe ho
rekhaaon kaa khel hai muqaddar
rekhaaon se maat khaa rahe ho

donon jahan teri mohabbat men haar ke
wo ja raha hai koi shab-e-gham guzar ke
viran hai mai-kada KHum o saghar udas hain
tum kya gae ki ruTh gae din bahaar ke
ek fursat-e-gunah mili wo bhi chaar din
dekhe hain humne hausle parwardigar ke
duniya ne teri yaad se begana kar diya
tujhse bhi dil-fareb hain gham rozgar ke
bhule se muskura to diye the wo aaj faiz
mat puchh walwale dil-e-na-karda-kar ke
hath Khaali hain tere shahar se jate jate
jaan hoti to meri jaan luTate jate
ab to har hath ka patthar hamen pahchanta hai
umr guzri hai tere shahr men aate jate
ab ke mayus hua yaron ko ruKHsat kar ke
ja rahe the to koi zaKHm lagate jate
rengne ki bhi ijazat nahin hum ko warna
hum jidhar jate nae phul khilate jate
main to jalte hue sahraon ka ek patthar tha
tum to dariya the meri pyas bujhate jate
mujhko rone ka saliqa bhi nahin hai shayad
log hanste hain mujhe dekh ke aate jate
humse pahle bhi musafir kai guzre honge
kam se kam rah ke patthar to haTate jate
dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae
yaad-e-jaanan se koi sham na Khaali jae
rafta rafta yahi zindan men badal jate hain
ab kisi shahr ki buniyaad na Dali jae
mushaf-e-ruKH hai kisi ka ki bayaz-e-hafiz
aise chehre se kabhi fal nikali jae
wo murawwat se mila hai to jhuka dun gardan
mere dushman ka koi war na Khaali jae
be-nawa shahr ka saya hai mere dil pe faraaz
kis tarah se meri aashufta-KHayali jae
der lagi aane men tumko shukr hai phir bhi aae to
aas ne dil ka sath na chhoDa waise hum ghabrae to
shafaq dhanak mahtab ghaTaen tare naghme bijli phool
is daman men kya kya kuchh hai daman hath men aae to
chahat ke badle men hum bech den apni marzi tak
koi mile to dil ka gahak koi hamen apnae to
suni-sunai baat nahin ye apne upar biti hai
phul nikalte hain sholon se chahat aag lagae to
jhuT hai sab tariKH hamesha apne ko dohraati hai
achchha mera KHwab-e-jawani thoDa sa dohrae to
nadani aur majburi men yaro kuchh to farq karo
ek bebas insan kare kya TuT ke dil aa jae to

baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
jaisi ab hai teri mahfil kabhi aisi to na thi
le gaya chhin ke kaun aaj tera sabr o qarar
be-qarari tujhe ai dil kabhi aisi to na thi
uski aankhon ne KHuda jaane kiya kya jadu
ki tabiat meri mail kabhi aisi to na thi
aks-e-ruKHsar ne kis ke hai tujhe chamkaya
tab tujh men mah-e-kaamil kabhi aisi to na thi
ab ki jo rah-e-mohabbat men uThai taklif
saKHt hoti hamen manzil kabhi aisi to na thi
pa-e-kuban koi zindan men naya hai majnun
aati aawaz-e-salasil kabhi aisi to na thi
nigah-e-yar ko ab kyun hai taghaful ai dil
wo tere haal se ghafil kabhi aisi to na thi
chashm-e-qatil meri dushman thi hamesha lekin
jaisi ab ho gai qatil kabhi aisi to na thi
kya sabab tu jo bigaDta hai zafar se har bar
KHu teri hur-shamail kabhi aisi to na thi
