shikwa

kyoon ziyan kaar banon sood faraamosh rahoon

fikr farda na karoon mahaw gham dosh rahoon

naale bulbul ke sunoon aur hama tan gosh rahoon

ham nawa mein bhi koi gul hoon ki khaamosh rahoon

jaraat aamoz miri taab sukhan hai mujh ko

shikwa allaah se khaakam badhan hai mujh ko

hai baja sheewah tasleem mein mashhoor hain ham

quissa dard sunaate hain ki majboor hain ham

saaz khaamosh hain fariyaad se maamoor hain ham

naala aata hai agar lab pe toh mazor hain ham

ai khadaa! shakoh arbaab wafa bhi sun le

khogar hamad se thoda sa gala bhi sun le

thi toh maujood azal se hi tiri zaat quadeem

phool tha zeb chaman par na pareshan thi shameem

shart insaaf hai ai saahab altaaf ameem

boo gul pheelti kis tarah jo hoti na naseem

ham ko jamaiyyat khaatir ye pareshaani thi

warna ummat tire mahboob ki deewaani thi

ham se pahle tha ajab tere jahan ka manzar

kahin masjod the patthar kahin mabod shajar

khogar paikar mahsoos thi insan ki nazar

maanta phir koi un dekhe khuda ko kyoonkar

tujh ko maaloom hai leta tha koi naam tira

quwwat baazoye muslim ne kya kaam tira

bas rahe the yahin saljoque bhi toraani bhi

ahal chin chain mein aeeraan mein saasaani bhi

asi mamore mein aabaad the yonaani bhi

asi duniyaa mein yahodi bhi the nasraani bhi

par tire naam pe talwaar uthaai kis ne

baat jo bigdi hui thi wo banaai kis ne

the hamein ek tire maarka aaraaؤn mein

khashkeewan mein kabhi ladte kabhi dareeaaؤn mein

din azaanin kabhi yorap ke kaleesaaؤn mein

kabhi afreequa ke tapte hue sahraaؤn mein

shaan aankhon mein na jachti thi jahan daaron ki

kalma padhte the ham chhaanw mein talwaaron ki

ham jo jeete the toh jangon ke museebat ke liye

aur marte the tire naam ki azmat ke liye

thi na kuchh tegh zani apni hukoomat ke liye

sarabkaf phirte the kya dahar mein daulat ke liye

quaum apni jo zar w maal jahan par marti

!bat faroshi ke awaz but shikni kyoon karti

tal na sakte the agar jang mein ud jaate the

paanw sheeron ke bhi maidan se akhad jaate the

tujh se sarkash hua koi toh bigad jaate the

tegh kya cheez hai ham top se lad jaate the

naqsh toheed ka har dil pe bathaaeea ham ne

zer khanjar bhi ye paighaam sunaaya ham ne

toh hi kah de ki akhaada dar kheebar kis ne

shahar queesar ka jo tha us ko kya sar kis ne

tode makhloque khadaawandon ke paikar kis ne

kaat kar rakh diye kafaar ke lashkar kis ne

kis ne thanda kya aatshakda aeeran ko

kis ne phir zinda kya tazkira yazdan ko

kaun si quaum faquat teri talab gaar hui

aur tere liye zahmat kash paikaar hui

kis ki shamsheer jahan geer jahan daar hui

kis ki takbeer se duniyaa tiri bedaar hui

kis ki heebat se sanam sahme hue rahte the

munh ke bal gar ke w allaah ahad kahte the

aa gaya ain ladaai mein agar waqt namaaz

quibla ro ho ke zamin bos hui quaum hijaaz

ek hi saf mein khade ho gae mahmod w aeeaaz

na koi bandaa raha aur na koi bandaa nawaaz

bandaa w saahab w mahtaaj w ghani ek hue

teri sarkaar mein pahunche toh sabhi ek hue

mahfil kaun w makan mein sahar w shaam phire

mai toheed ko le kar sifat jaam phire

koh mein dasht mein le kar tira paighaam phire

!aawar maaloom hai tujh ko kabhi naakaam phire

dasht toh dasht hain dariya bhi na chhode ham ne

bahar zulmaat mein doda diye ghode ham ne

safha dahar se baatil ko mitaaya ham ne

no insan ko ghulaami se chhudaaya ham ne

tere kaabe ko jabeenon se basaaya ham ne

tere quraaan ko seenon se lagaaya ham ne

phir bhi ham se ye gila hai ki wafaadaar nahi

!ham wafaadaar nahi toh bhi toh daldaar nahi

amtin aur bhi hain un mein gunah gaar bhi hain

ijz waale bhi hain mast me pindaar bhi hain

un mein kaahal bhi hain ghaafil bhi hain hushyaar bhi hain

seenakdon hain ki tire naam se bezaar bhi hain

rahamtin hain tiri aghyaar ke kaashaanon par

barque girti hai toh beechaare masalmaanon par

but sanam khaanon mein kahte hain masalmaan gae

hai khushi un ko ki kaabe ke nigahbaan gae

manzil dahar se awanton ke hudi khwaan gae

apni baghlon mein dabaae hue quraaan gae

khanda zan kufr hai ehsaas tujhe hai ki nahi

apni toheed ka kuchh paas tujhe hai ki nahi

ye shikaayat nahi hain un ke khazaane maamoor

nahi mahfil mein janin baat bhi karne ka shuoor

quahar toh ye hai ki kaafir ko milein hoor w qusoor

aur beechaare musalman ko faquat waada hoor

ab wo altaaf nahi ham pe anaaeeaat nahi

baat ye kya hai ki pahli si madaaraat nahi

kyoon masalmaanon mein hai daulat duniyaa naayaab

teri qudrat toh hai wo jis ki na had hai na hisaab

toh jo chaahe toh athe seenah sahra se habaab

rahro dasht ho seeli zadah mauj saraab

taan aghyaar hai ruswaai hai naadaari hai

kya tire naam pe marne ka awaz khwaari hai

bani aghyaar ki ab chaahne waali duniyaa

rah gai apne liye ek khayaali duniyaa

ham toh rukhsat hue auron ne sanbhaali duniyaa

phir na kahna hui toheed se khaali duniyaa

ham toh jeete hain ki duniyaa mein tira naam rahe

!kahin mumkin hai ki saaqui na rahe jaam rahe

teri mahfil bhi gai chaahne waale bhi gae

shab ke aahein bhi gain subh ke naale bhi gae

dil tujhe de bhi gae apna sala le bhi gae

aa ke baithe bhi na the aur nikaale bhi gae

aae ushshaaque gae wadah farda le kar

ab anin dhoond charaagh rukh zeeba le kar

dard laila bhi wahi quais ka pahloo bhi wahi

najad ke dasht w jabal mein ram aahoo bhi wahi

ishq ka dil bhi wahi husn ka jaadoo bhi wahi

ummat ahmad marsal bhi wahi toh bhi wahi

phir ye aazurdagi ghair sabab kya mani

apne sheedaaؤn pe ye chashm ghazab kya mani

tujh ko chhoda ki rasool arbi ko chhoda

but gari pesha kya but shikni ko chhoda

ishq ko ishq ki aashufta sari ko chhoda

rasm salmaan w awees quarni ko chhoda

aag takbeer ki seenon mein dabi rakhte hain

zindagi misl balaal habshi rakhte hain

ishq ki khair wo pahli si ada bhi na sahi

jaada paimaai tasleem w raza bhi na sahi

muztarib dil sifat quibla numa bhi na sahi

aur paabandi aaeen wafa bhi na sahi

kabhi ham se kabhi ghairon se shanaasaai hai

!baat kahne ki nahi toh bhi toh harjaai hai

sar faaran pe kya deen ko kaamil toh ne

ik ishaare mein hazaaron ke liye dil toh ne

aatish andoz kya ishq ka haasil toh ne

phoonk di garmi rukhsaar se mahfil toh ne

aaj kyoon seene hamare sharar aabaad nahi

ham wahi sokhta saaman hain tujhe yaad nahi

waadi najad mein wo shor salaasil na raha

quais deewaana nazaara mahmil na raha

hausle wo na rahe ham na rahe dil na raha

ghar ye ujda hai ki toh raunaque mahfil na raha

ai khush aan roz ki aai w basad naaz aai

be hajaabaana soo mahfil ma baaz aai

baada kash ghair hain gulshan mein lab jo baithe

sunte hain jaam bakaf naghma ko ko baithe

door hangaama gulzaar se yak so baithe

tere deewaane bhi hain muntazir w baithe

apne parwaanon ko phir zauque khud afrozi de

barque dereena ko farmaan jigar sozi de

quaum aawaara inan taab hai phir soo hijaaz

le uda bulbul be par ko mazaaque parwaaz

muztarib baagh ke har ghunche mein hai boo niyaaz

toh zara chhed toh de tashnah mazraab hai saaz

naghme be taab hain taaron se nikalne ke liye

taur muztar hai asi aag mein jalne ke liye

mushkilein ummat marhoom ki aasan kar de

mor be maaeeh ko hamdosh sulaiman kar de

jins naayaab mohabbat ko phir arzan kar de

hind ke der nasheenon ko musalman kar de

joo khoon mi chakad az hasrat deereenah ma

mi tapad naala b nashtar kada seena ma

boo gul le gai bairoon chaman raaz chaman

!keea quayaamat hai ki khud phool hain ghammaaz chaman

ahad gul khatm hua toot gaya saaz chaman

ud gae daaleewan se zamazma parwaaz chaman

ek bulbul hai ki hai mahaw tarnam ab tak

us ke seene mein hai naghmon ka talaatum ab tak

quamreean shaakh sanobar se gurezan bhi huin

petan phool ki jhad jhad ke pareshan bhi huin

wo puraani roshin baagh ki weeran bhi huin

daaleean pairhan barg se uryan bhi huin

quaid mausam se tabeeat rahi aazaad us ki

!kaash gulshan mein samajhta koi fariyaad us ki

lutf marne mein hai baaqui na mazaa jeene mein

kuchh mazaa hai toh yahi khoon jigar peene mein

kitne be taab hain jauhar mire aaeene mein

kis quadar jalwe tadapte hain mire seene mein

us gulistan mein magar dekhne waale hi nahi

daagh jo seene mein rakhte hoon wo laale hi nahi

chaak us bulbul tanha ki nawa se dil hoon

jaagne waale asi baanag dara se dil hoon

yaani phir zinda nae ahad wafa se dil hoon

phir asi baadah dereena ke pyaase dil hoon

ajmi kham hai toh kya mai toh hajaazi hai miri

!naghma handi hai toh kya le toh hajaazi hai miri
