bachcha aur shama

!keesi hairaani hai ye ai taflak parwaana khoo

shama ke sholon ko ghadeewan dekhta rahta hai toh

ye miri aaghosh mein baithe hue jumbish hai kya

raushani se kya baghal geeri hai tera muddaa

us nazaare se tira nana sa dil hairaan hai

ye kisi dekhi hui shay ki magar pahchaan hai

shama ik shola hai lekin toh saraapa noor hai

aaha! us mahfil mein ye uryan hai toh mastor hai

!dasat qudrat ne use kya jaane kyoon uryan kya

tujh ko khaak teera ke faanoos mein pinhan kya

noor tera chhup gaya zer naquab aaghi

hai ghubaar deedah beena hijaab aaghi

zindagaani jis ko kahte hain faraamoshi hai ye

khawaab hai ghaflat hai sarmasti hai be hoshi hai ye

mahfil qudrat hai ik dariya be paaeeaan husn

aankh agar dekhe toh har quatre mein hai toofaan husn

husn kohastan ki heebat naak khaamoshi mein hai

mehar ki zogsatri shab ki siyah poshi mein hai

aasmaan subh ki aaeena poshi mein hai ye

shaam ki zulmat shafaque ki gul faro shi mein hai ye

azmat dereena ke matte hue aasaar mein

taflak naaaashna ki koshish guftaar mein

saaknaan sehan gulshan ki ham aawaazi mein hai

nane nane taayron ki aashiyan saazi mein hai

chashma kohsaar mein dariya ki aazaadi mein husn

shahar mein sahra mein weeraane mein aabaadi mein husn

rooh ko lekin kisi gum gashta shay ki hai hawas

!warna us sahra mein kyoon naalan hai ye misl jaras

husn ke us aam jalwe mein bhi ye be taab hai

zindagi us ki misaal maahi be aab hai
