log kyun DhunD rahe hain mujhe patthar le kar
main to aaya nahin kirdar-e-payambar le kar
mujh ko malum hai madum hui naqd-e-wafa
phir bhi bazar mein baiTha hun muqaddar le kar
ruh betab hai chehron ka tassur paDh kar
yani be-ghar hua main shahr mein ek ghar le kar
kis nae lahje mein ab ruh ka izhaar karun
sans bhi chalti hai ehsas ka KHanjar le kar
ye ghalat hai ki main pahchan ganwa baiTha hun
dar tak main hi gaya harf-e-mukarrar le kar
mojaze hum se bhi hote hain payambar ki tarah
hum ne mabud tarashe fan-e-azar le kar
KHud-kushi karne chala hun mujhe roko 'tariq'
zaKHm-e-ehsas mein chubhte hue nashtar le kar
Ghazal
Log kyun DhunD rahe hain mujhe patthar le kar
Shamim Tariq
