Diwar qahqaha

idhar na aao
ki ye mahal ab shikast-e-shaukat ki dastan hai

ki ye mahal ab shikast-e-aqdar ka nishan hai
ki ye mahal ab shikast-e-afkar ki fughan hai

udhar na dekho
ki ye khanDar hai jinnon ka bhuton ka aastan hai

ki ye umangon ki be-basi ki baDi tawil ek dastan hai
ki ye hai maskan siyah raaton ka har taraf bas dhuan dhua Hai

udhar jhanko
shikasta inTon ki in daraazon mein chandni bhi sisak rahi hai

andheri raaton ki kali nagin siyahiyon mein chamak rahi hai
kiran kiran ka lahu pie hai to mast hai aur bahakr rahi hai

jo pahle tum us mahal mein aate
to rang o naghma ke sail pur nur se guzarte

to aarzu ki sharab mein Dubte ubharte
rasili banhon mein miThe sapnon ki Dub kar kis sukun se marte

jo pahle us samt se guzarte
to aarzuon ke naghma-e-dil nashin ko sunte

bahut hi rote aur aansuon se kai nae KHwab apne bunte
aur ek be-nam kaif-e-masti mein Du bkar apne sar ko dhunte

jo pahle us dard ko khaTkate
hasin ummidon ke pasban tum ko rang o bu ka payam dete

hare bhare sarw tum ko pariyon ke shazade ka nam dete
ya baam o dar hans ke tum ko pariyon ke shahzade ka nam dete

aur ab jo aae ho kya milega
nigar KHana ujaD chuka hai wo sari mahfil uKHaD gai hai

wo nikhat aarzu bhi diwana war har-su bhaTak rahi hai
amin thi jo dard-e-bekaran ki wo aah ghaT ghaT ke mar chuki hai

aur ab yahan kis ko DhunDte ho
yahan pe tum chiKHte rahoge jawab koi nahin milega

yahan pe DhunDte rahoge ye KHwab koi nahin milega
yahan pe sher o sharab o chang o raubab koi nahin milega

yahan pe kis ko bula rahe ho
yahan tumhaari sadao ke KHol gunj ban kar uDa karenge

wo khokhli gunj tum se puchegai aap yan aa ke kya karenge
Daro ge KHud apne saye se tum to bhut tum par hansa karenge

udhar na aao
udhar na aao yahan pe tum aa ke kya karoge

yahan pe bhuton ka raqs dekhoge aur phir aap hi Daroge
Daroge aa kale ka kale sayon ka raqs

diwar ki daraazon se dekh kar tum bahut hansoge
bahut hansoge

ye ek diwar-e-qahqaha
