Gurez

mera junun-e-wafa hai zawal-amada
shikast ho gaya tera fusun-e-zebai

un aarzuon pe chhai hai gard-e-mayusi
jinhon ne tere tabassum mein parwarish pai

fareb-e-shauq ke rangin tilism TuT gae
haqiqaton ne hawadis se phir jila pai

sukun-o-KHwab ke parde sarakte jate hain
dimagh-o-dil mein hain wahshat ki kar-farmai

wo tare jin mein mohabbat ka nur taban tha
wo tare Dub gae le ke rang-o-ranai

sula gai thin jinhen teri multafit nazren
wo dard jag uThe phir se le ke angDai

ajib aalam-e-afsurdagi hai ru-ba-farogh
na ab nazar ko taqaza na dil tamannai

tere nazar tere gesu teri jabin tere lab
meri udas tabiat hai sab se uktai

main zindagi ke haqaeq se bhag aaya tha
ki mujh ko KHud mein chhupae teri fusun-zai

magar yahan bhi taaqub kiya haqaeq ne
yahan bhi mil na saki jannat-e-shakebai

har ek hath mein le kar hazar aaine
hayat band darichon se bhi guzar aai

mere har ek taraf ek shor gunj uTha
aur us mein Dub gai ishraton ki shahnai

kahan talak koi zinda haqiqaton se bache
kahan talak kare chhup chhup ke naghma-pairai

wo dekh samne ke pur-shikoh aiwan se
kisi kirae ki laDki ki chiKH Takrai

wo phir samaj ne do pyar karne walon ko
saza ke taur pe baKHshi tawil tanhai

phir ek tira-o-tarik jhonpaDi ke tale
sisakte bachche pe bewa ki aankh bhar aai

wo phir biki kisi majbur ki jawan beTi
wo phir jhuka kisi dar par ghurur-e-barnai

wo phir kisanon ke majmea pe gun-mashinon se
huquq-yafta tabqe ne aag barsai

sukut halqa-e-zindan se ek gunj uThi
aur us ke sath mere sathiyon ki yaad aai

nahin nahin mujhe yun multafit nazar se na dekh
nahin nahin mujhe ab tab-e-naghma-pairai

mera junun-e-wafa hai zawal-amada
shikast ho gaya tera fusun-e-zebai
