tasweer dard

nahi minnat kash taab shuneedan daastan meri

khamoshi guftugoo hai be zabaani hai zaban meri

ye dastoor zaban bandi hai kaisa teri mahfil mein

yahan toh baat karne ko tarasti hai zaban meri

uthaae kuchh waraque laale ne kuchh nargis ne kuchh gul ne

chaman mein har taraf bikhri hui hai daastan meri

adaali quamreewan ne toteewan ne andalbon ne

chaman waalon ne mil kar lot li tarz fughan meri

tapak ai shama aansoo ban ke parwaane ki aankhon se

saraapa dard hoon hasrat bhari hai daastan meri

alhee! phir mazaa kya hai yahan duniyaa mein rahne ka

!heeaat jaawdan meri na marg naaghan meri

mira rona nahi rona hai ye saare gulistan ka

wo gul hoon mein khizan har gul ki hai goya khizan meri

darin hasrat sara amreesat afsoon jaras daaram

z faiz dil tapeedanha kharosh be nafas daaram

reeaaz dahar mein naa aashna bazm ishrat hoon

khushi roti hai jis ko mein wo mahroom masarrat hoon

miri bigdi hui taqudeer ko roti hai goyaai

mein harf zer lab sharmandah gosh samaat hoon

pareshan hoon mein musht khaak lekin kuchh nahi khulta

sikandar hoon ki aaeena hoon yaa gard kudoorat hoon

ye sab kuchh hai magar hasti miri maqsad hai qudrat ka

saraapa noor ho jis ki haqueeqat mein wo zulmat hoon

khazeena hoon chhupaaya mujh ko musht khaak sahra ne

!kasi kya khabar hai mein kahan hoon kis ki daulat hoon

nazar meri nahi mamnoon sair arsah hasti

mein wo chhoti si duniyaa hoon ki aap apni walaaeet hoon

na sahaahon na saaqui hoon na masti hoon na paimaana

mein us meekha nah hasti mein har shay ki haqueeqat hoon

mujhe raaz do aalam dil ka aaeena dikhaata hai

wahi kahta hoon jo kuchh saamne aankhon ke aata hai

ata aisa bayan mujh ko hua rangin beeaanon mein

ki baam arsh ke taair hain mere ham zabaanon mein

asar ye bhi hai ik mere junoon fitna saaman ka

mira aa yeena dil hai quaza ke raaz daanon mein

ralaata hai tira nazaara ai handostaan! mujh ko

ki ibrat khez hai tera fasaana sab fasaanon mein

diya rona mujhe aisa ki sab kuchh de diya goya

likha kalak azal ne mujh ko tere nauha khwaanon mein

!nashaan barg gul tak bhi na chhod us baagh mein gulchin

tiri quismat se razam aaraayeean hain baaghbaanon mein

chhapaakar aastin mein bijliyan rakhi hain gardoon ne

anaadal baagh ke ghaafil na baithein aasheeaanon mein

sun ai ghaafil sada meri ye aisi cheez hai jis ko

wazeefa jaan kar padhte hain taair bostaanon mein

watan ki fikr kar naadan museebat aane waali hai

tiri barbaadiyon ke mashore hain aasmaanon mein

zara dekh us ko jo kuchh ho raha hai hone waala hai

dhara kya hai bhala ahad kuhan ki daastaanon mein

ye khaamoshi kahan tak lazzat fariyaad paida kar

zamin par toh ho aur teri sada ho aasmaanon mein

!na samjho ge toh mit jaayo ge ai hindostan waalo

tamaari daastan tak bhi na ho gi daastaanon mein

yahi aaeen qudrat hai yahi aslob fitrat hai

jo hai raah amal mein gaam zan mahboob fitrat hai

hweeda aaj apne zakhm pinhan kar ke chhodon ga

lahoo ro ro ke mahfil ko gulistan kar ke chhodon ga

jalaana hai mujhe har shama dil ko soz pinhan se

tiri taareek raaton mein charaaghan kar ke chhodan ga

magar ghanchon ki soorat hoon dil dard aashna paida

chaman mein musht khaak apni pareshan kar ke chhodan ga

parona ek hi tasbeeh mein un bakhre daanon ko

jo mushkil hai toh us mushkil ko aasan kar ke chhodon ga

mujhe ai ham nashin rahne de shaghl seena kaawi mein

ki mein daagh mohabbat ko numaayan kar ke chhodon ga

dikha doon ga jahan ko jo mar y aankhon ne dekha hai

tujhe bhi soorat aaeena hairan kar ke chhodon ga

jo hai pardon mein pinhan chashm beena dekh leti hai

zamaane ki tabeeat ka taquaza dekh leti hai

kya rafat ki lazzat se na dil ko aashna toh ne

guzaari umr pasti mein misaal naqsh pa toh ne

raha dil bastah mahfil magar apni nigaahon ko

kya bairoon mahfil se na hairat aashna toh ne

fida karta raha dil ko hasneewan ki adaayon par

magar dekhi na us aaeene mein apni ada toh ne

tasab chhod naadaan! dahar ke aaeena khaane mein

ye tasweerin hain teri jin ko samjha hai bura toh ne

saraapa naala bedaad soz zindagi ho ja

sipand aasa girah mein baandh rakhi hai sada toh ne

safaaye dil ko kya aaraaish rang taalluque se

kaf aaeena par baandhi hai aw naadan hina toh ne

zamin kya aasman bhi teri kaj beeni pe rota hai

ghazab hai satr quaran ko chaleepa kar diya toh ne

!zaban se gar kya toheed ka daawa toh kya haasil

banaaya hai but pindaar ko apna khuda toh ne

kanwin mein toh ne yoosuf ko jo dekha bhi toh kya dekha

are ghaafla! jo mutlaque tha maqueed kar diya toh ne

hawas baalaaye mimbar hai tujhe rangin bayaani ki

naseehat bhi tiri soorat hai ik afsaana khwaani ki

dikha wo husn aalam soz apni chashm parnam ko

jo tadpaata hai parwaane ko ralwaata hai shabnam ko

nara nazaara hi ai bwaalhos maqsad nahi us ka

banaaya hai kisi ne kuchh samajh kar chashm aadam ko

agar dekha bhi us ne saare aalam ko toh kya dekha

nazar aai na kuchh apni haqueeqat jaam se jam ko

shajar hai farqua aaraai tasab hai samar us ka

ye wo phal hai ki jannat se nakalwaata hai aadam ko

na utha jazbah khursheed se ik bar g gul tak bhi

ye rafat ki tamannaa hai ki le udti hai shabnam ko

phira karte nahi majrooh ulfat fikr darman mein

ye zakhmi aap kar lete hain paida apne marham ko

mohabbat ke sharar se dil saraapa noor hota hai

zara se beej se paida reeaaz taur hota hai

dawa har dukh ki hai majrooh tegh aarzoo rahna

ilaaj zakhm hai aazaad ehsaan rafoo rahna

sharaab be khudi se ta falak parwaaz hai meri

shakat rang se seekha hai mein ne ban ke boo rahna

thame kya deediya giryan watan ki nauha khwaani mein

ibaadat chashm shaair ki hai har dam ba wazoo rahna

banaaein kya samajh kar shaakh gul par aashiyan apna

chaman mein aaha! kya rahna jo ho be aabroo rahna

jo toh samjhe toh aazaadi hai posheeda mohabbat mein

ghulaami hai aseer imtiyaaz maaw toh rahna

ye istighna hai paani mein nagon rakhta hai saaghar ko

tujhe bhi chahiye misl habaab aabjo rahna

na rah apnon se be parwa asi mein khair hai teri

agar manzoor hai duniyaa mein aw begaana khoo rahna

sharaab rooh parwar hai mohabbat no insan ki

sikhaaya us ne mujh ko mast be jaam w suboo rahna

mohabbat hi se paai hai shifa beemaar quomon ne

kya hai apne bakht khufta ko bedaar quomon ne

bayaabaan mohabbat dasht ghurbat bhi watan bhi hai

ye weeraana quafas bhi aashiyana bhi chaman bhi hai

mohabbat hi wo manzil hai ki manzil bhi hai sahra bhi

jaras bhi kaarwan bhi raahbar bhi raahzan bhi hai

maraz kahte hain sab us ko ye hai lekin maraz aisa

chhupa jis mein ilaaj gardish charkh kuhan bhi hai

jalaana dil ka hai goya saraapa noor ho jaana

ye parwaana jo sozan ho toh shama anjuman bhi hai

wahi ik husn hai lekin nazar aata hai har shay mein

ye sheerin bhi hai goya beeston bhi kohkan bhi hai

ajaada hai tameez millat w aaein ne quomon ko

mire ahal watan ke dil mein kuchh fikr watan bhi hai

sukoot aamoz tool daastaan dard hai warna

zaban bhi hai hamare munh mein aur taab sukhan bhi hai

nameegardeed kota rashtah mani raha kar dam

hikaayat bood be paaeean bakhaamoshi ada kar dam
