Lab-e-goya

ab to shayad isi andaz se jina hoga
us ke har zulm ko be-dad ko chup-chap sahen

yun to kahne ko bahut kuchh hai magar aaThon pahar
ek yahi fikr hai kis tarah kahen kis se kahen

dekhti aankhon se hum se to ye hoga na kabhi
is bhari bazm mein hum surat-e-taswir rahen

baat kahne ka jo anjam hua karta hai
aashkara hai kisi se bhi to mastur nahin

wo jo aaqaon ke dastur ko Thukra ke baDhen
wadi-e-dar-o-rasan un se koi dur nahin

hum bhi shayad usi manzil mein pahunch kar dam len
dahr mein ghalba-e-zulmat hamein manzur nahin

qaid kya shai hai salasil ki haqiqat kya hai
jism paband sahi fikr to mahsur nahin

dil mein jo baat khaTakti ho agar dil mein rahe
maslahat-keshi hai ye shewa-e-mansur nahin
