ye kis hasin ne logon ko rok rakkha hai
tamam shahr ke raston ko rok rakkha hai
nikal paDen na kahin pane apni tabiren
isi liye sabhi KHwabon ko rok rakkha hai
wo kah rahe hain kaho dil ki baat baat magar
na jaane kyun kai baaton ko rok rakkha hai
dalilen dene ko de sakte hain hazar magar
sabhi hawalon jawazon ko rok rakkha hai
abhi hayat ke goshe chhupe hue hain bahut
kisi ne kyun sabhi rangon ko rok rakkha hai
na apne-ap mein ho jae gharq dariya bhi
zamin ne kaise kinaron ko rok rakkha hai
na raaz fash kabhi hon zamin walon ke
falak ne chand sitaron ko rok rakkha hai
tamam log hi pagal na ho ke rah jaen
numaishon se hasinon ko rok rakkha hai
tamam shahr ko raushan na hone denge kabhi
hamare sinon ki aagon ko rok rakkha hai
diye bujhati bhi hain to jalati bhi hain yahi
ye kis ne tund hawaon ko rok rakkha hai
na kaam karne ke karte na karne dete hain
hamare KHwason ne aamon ko rok rakkha hai
hamari rahnumai ko raste kafi the
pa zulmaton ne bhi raston ko rok rakkha hai
kisi kisi ko hai haq zinda rahne ka hasil
dukhon ne logon ki sanson ko rok rakkha hai
bhale zamane ki ummid par abhi 'ruhi'
bahut zaruri bhi kaamon ko rok rakkha hai
Ghazal
Ye kis hasin ne logon ko rok rakkha hai
Roohi Kanjahi
