khazarraah

saahil dariya pe mein ik raat tha mahaw nazar

gosha dil mein chhupaae ik jahaan iztiraab

shab sukoot afza hua aasooda dariya narm sair

thi nazar hairan ki ye dariya hai yaa tasweer aab

jaise gahwaare mein so jaata hai tifl sher khwaar

mauj muztar thi kahin gahraayeewan mein mast khawaab

raat ke afsoon se taair aasheeaanon mein aseer

anjum kam zo giraftaar tilism maahtaab

dekhta kya hoon ki wo peek jahan paima khizr

jis ki peeri mein hai maanind sahar rang shabaab

!kaha raha hai mujh se ai jweeaaye asraar azal

chashm dil wa ho toh hai taqudeer aalam be hijaab

dil mein ye sun kar bapa hangaama mahshar hua

mein shaheed justujoo tha yoon sukhan gastar hua

ai tiri chashm jahan bin par wo toofan aashkaar

jin ke hangaame abhi dariya mein sote hain khamosh

kashti maskeen w jaan paak w deewar yateem

ilm moosa bhi hai tere saamne hairat farosh

chhod kar aabaadeean rahta hai toh sahra naward

zindagi teri hai be roz w shab w farda dosh

zindagi ka raaz kya hai saltanat kya cheez hai

aur ye sarmaaya w mehnat mein hai kaisa kharosh

ho raha hai aeesheea ka khirqua dereena chaak

naujwan aqwaam nau daulat ke hain peeraaeeh posh

garche askandar raha mahroom aab zindagi

fitrat asaknadri ab tak hai garm naayonosh

beechta hai haashmi naamoos deen masatfi

khaak w khoon mein mil raha hai tarakmaan sakht kosh

aag hai awlaad abraaheem hai namrood hai

!keea kisi ko phir kisi ka imtihan maqsood hai

kyoon taajjub hai miri sahra nawardi par tujhe

ye taga poye damaadam zindagi ki hai daleel

ai raheen khana toh ne wo saman dekha nahi

gonajti hai jab faza dasht mein baanag raheel

ret ke teele pe wo aahoo ka be parwa khiraam

wo hazar be barg w saaman wo safar be sang w mel

wo numood akhtar seemaab pa hangaam subh

yaa numaayan baam gardoon se jabeen jibraeel

wo sukoot shaam sahra mein ghuroob aaftaab

jis se raushan tar hui chashm jahan been khaleel

aur wo paani ke chashme par maquam kaarwan

ahal iman jis tarah jannat mein gard salasbeel

taaza weeraane ki sauda mohabbat ko talaash

aur aabaadi mein toh zanjeeri kisht w nakheel

pukhta tar hai gardish paheem se jaam zindagi

hai yahi ai be khabar raaz dawaam zindagi

bartar az andeeshah sood w ziyan hai zindagi

hai kabhi jan aur kabhi tasleem jan hai zindagi

toh use paimaana amroz w farda se na naap

jaawdan paiham dwan har dam jawan hai zindagi

apni duniyaa aap paida kar agar zandon mein hai

sar aadam hai zameer kin fakan hai zindagi

zindagaani ki haqueeqat kohkan ke dil se poochh

joo sher w tesha w sang giran hai zindagi

bandagi mein ghat ke rah jaati hai ik joo kam aab

aur aazaadi mein bahar be karan hai zindagi

aashkaara hai ye apni quwwat taskheer se

garche ik mitti ke paikar mein nihan hai zindagi

qulzum hasti se toh abhra hai maanind habaab

us ziyan khaane mein tera imtihan hai zindagi

khaam hai jab tak toh hai mitti ka ik ambaar toh

pukhta ho jaae toh hai shamsheer be zinhaar toh

ho sadaaqat ke liye jis dil mein marne ki tadap

pahle apne paikar khaaki mein jan paida kare

phoonk daale ye zameen w aasmaan mustaaar

aur khaakastar se aap apna jahan paida kare

zindagi ki quwwat pinhan ko kar de aashkaar

ta ye chingaari farogh jaawdan paida kare

khaak mashrique par chamak jaae misaal aaftaab

ta badakhshan phir wahi laal giran paida kare

soo gardoon naala shab geer ka bheje safeer

raat ke taaran mein apne raazdan paida kare

ye ghadi mahshar ki hai toh arsah mahshar mein hai

pesh kar ghaafil amal koi agar daftar mein hai

aabtaayon tujh ko ramz aaeeh un alamlok

saltanat aqwaam ghaalib ki hai ik jaadogri

khawaab se bedaar hota hai zara mahkom agar

phir sula deti hai us ko hakamran ki saahri

jaadoye mahmod ki taaseer se chashm aeeaaz

dekhti hai halqah gardan mein saaz dilabri

khoon asraayeel aajaata hai aakhir josh mein

tod deta hai koi moosa tilism saamri

sarawri zeeba faquat us zaat be hamta ko hai

hakamran hai ik wahi baaqui butaan aazri

az ghulaami fitrat aazaad ra ruswa makan

ta taraashi khwaaja e az barahman kaafir tiri

hai wahi saaz kuhan maghrib ka jamhori nizaam

jis ke pardon mein nahi ghair az nawa queesri

deew astabdaad jamhori quaba mein paae kob

toh samajhta hai ye aazaadi ki hai neelam pari

majlis aaeen w aslaah w raaaeeaat w haquoque

tab maghrib mein maze meethe asar khawaab aawri

!garmi guftaar azaaye majaalas alaaman

ye bhi ik sarmaaya daaron ki hai jang zaragri

us saraab rang w boo ko gulistan samjha hai toh

aah ai naadaan! quafas ko aashiyan samjha hai toh

bandiya mazdor ko ja kar mira paighaam de

khizr ka paighaam kya hai ye payaam kaaenaat

ai ki tujh ko kha gaya sarmaaya daar heela gar

shaakh aahoo par rahi sadiyon talak teri baraat

dast daulat aafrin ko mazad yoon milti rahi

ahal sarot jaise dete hain ghareebon ko zakat

saahar almot ne tujh ko diya barg hasheesh

aur toh ai be khabar samjha use shaakh nabaat

nasl quomeet kaleesa saltanat tahzeeb rang

khwaajgi ne khoob chun chun ke banaae masakraat

kat mira naadan khayaali deewtaayon ke liye

sakarki lazzat mein toh latwa gaya naqd hayaat

makr ki chaalon se baazi le gaya sarmaaya daar

anathaaye saadgi se kha gaya mazdor maat

uth ki ab bazm jahan ka aur hi andaazhe

mashrique w maghrib mein tere door ka aaghaaz hai

himmat aali toh dariya bhi nahi karti qubool

ghuncha san ghaafil tire daaman mein shabnam kab talak

naghma bedaari jamhoor hai saamaan aish

quissa khawaab aawar askandar w jam kab talak

aaftaab taaza paida batan geeti se hua

aasmaana! doobe hue taaron ka maatam kab talak

tod daalin fitrat insan ne zanjeerein tamaam

doori jannat se roti chashm aadam kab talak

baaghbaan chaara farma se ye kahti hai bahaar

zakhm gul ke waaste tadbeer marham kab talak

karmak naadaan! tawaaf shama se aazaad ho

apni fitrat ke tajalli zaar mein aabaad ho

kya sunaata hai mujhe tark w arab ki daastan

mujh se kuchh pinhan nahi aslaameewan ka soz w saaz

le gae taslees ke faraznad meeraas khaleel

khisht buniyaad kaleesa ban gai khaak hijaaz

hogiyi ruswa zamaane mein kulaah laala rang

jo saraapa naaz the hain aaj majboor niyaaz

le raha hai mai faroshaan farangastan se paaras

wo me sarkash haraarat jis ki hai meena gudaaz

hikmat maghrib se millat ki ye kaifiyat hui

tukde tukde jis tarah sone ko kar deta hai gaaz

hogeea maanind aab arzan musalman ka lahoo

muztarib hai toh ki tera dil nahi daanaaye raaz

guft romi har banaae kahna kaabaadan kannad

mi nadaani awwal aan buniyaad ra weeran kannad

mulk haathon se gaya millat ki aankhein khul gain

haque tira chashme ata karadsat ghaafil dar nagar

momyaai ki gadaai se toh behtar hai shikast

mor be para! haajte pesh saleemaane mabar

rabt w zabt millat beeza hai mashrique ki najaat

aeesheea waale hain us nakte se ab tak be khabar

phir siyaasat chhod kar daakhil hisaar din mein ho

mulk w daulat hai faquat hafaz haram ka ik samar

ek hoon muslim haram ki paasbaani ke liye

neel ke saahil se le kar ta bakhaak kaashghar

jo kare ga imtiyaaz rang w khoon mit jaae ga

tark khargaahi ho yaa araabi waala guhar

nasl agar muslim ki mazhab par maqudam hogiyi

ud gaya duniyaa se toh maanind khaak rah guzar

ta khalaafat ki bana duniyaa mein ho phir astor

la kahin se dhoond kar aslaaf ka qualb w jigar

ai ki nashnaasi khafi ra az jali hushyaar baash

ai giraftaar abobkar w ali hushyaar baash

ishq ko fariyaad laazim thi so wo bhi ho chuki

ab zara dil thaam kar fariyaad ki taaseer dekh

toh ne dekha satwat raftaar dariya ka urooj

mauj muztar kis tarah banti hai ab zanjeer dekh

aam hareet ka jo dekha tha khawaab islaam ne

ai musalman aaj toh us khawaab ki taabeer dekh

apni khaakastar samundar ko hai saamaan wajood

mar ke phir hota hai paida ye jahaan peer dekh

khol kar aankhein mire aayeenah guftaar mein

aane waale door ki dhanadli si ik tasweer dekh

aazmoda fitna hai ik aur bhi gardoon ke paas

saamne taqudeer ke ruswaai tadbeer dekh

muslim asti seena ra az aarzoo aabaad daar

har zaman pesh nazar laaeekhlaf almeeaad daar
