Kursi

siyasiyat mein uncha hai nam kursi ka
kiya hai main ne bahut ehtiram kursi ka

ghasiTa apni taraf intizam kursi ka
ye mera kaam tha baqi hai kaam kursi ka

ye gol mez se kahti hai ab ki to kya hai
chair ke samne sofe ki aabru kya hai

koi clerk koi manager ki kursi hai
jahan hai nurse wahin doctor ki kursi hai

jo ek Tang ki TuTi kamar ki kursi hai
wo mere shahr ke ek counselor ki kursi hai

briadri ki badaulat amin hain mausuf
pachas sal se kursi-nashin hain mausuf

chair pe baiTh ke sare hi shan wale hain
jo par kaTe the wo unchi uDan wale hain

jo be-makan the das das makan wale hain
wo sirf pan nahin pandan wale hain

ajib rasm chali hai ki is zamane mein
awam dhup mein kursi hai shamiyane mein

mushaere mein bhi aksar uchhal gai kursi
ghazal ke chalne se pahle hi chal gai kursi

har ek mez se aage nikal gai kursi
badal gae rufaqa jab badal gai kursi

haram mal se jaez kamai behtar hai
nai chair se purani tipai behtar hai

usi ka zikr bason mein bhi baat baat pe hai
tamam rail mein jhagDa isi ki zat pe hai

yahi sawar arakin-e-baldiyat pe hai
isi ka hukm qalam par kabhi dawat pe hai

mushaere mein bhi jhagDa isi ibarat ka
kabhi maqam kabhi kursi-e-sadarat ka

bani thi kursi jo ek head-master ke liye
janab-e-head use le gae hain ghar ke liye

bana diya jinhen kursi ne umr bhar ke liye
chair hai un ke liye wo nahin chair ke liye

amanatan jo chair par biThae jate hain
wo log KHud nahin uThte uThae jate hain

kuchh is ada se ye dilkash sifat chalti hai
kisi rais ki goya baraat chalti hai

jahan bhi jao yahi sath sath chalti hai
chipak ke jaise sharik-e-hayat chalti hai

ye zaiqa bhi ajab hai ki chakh nahin sakte
hum is ki god mein tashrif rakh nahin sakte
