Naya adab

han to main aap se kahta tha janab
zindagi jabr ki paband nahin rah sakti

aur naddi usi dhaare pe nahin bah sakti
jis mein mazi ki chitaon ke siwa

jis mein marghaT ki hawaon ke siwa
aur to kuchh bhi nahin kuchh bhi nahin hai shayad

aap be-kar meri baat pe jhunjhlate hain
kaun kahta hai ki mazi ko bura kahta hun

main kahun ye kisi dushman ne uDai hogi
main to kahta hun ki tariKH ke sine se sharare le kar

apni duniya ke KHas-o-KHar jala hi dunga
zindagi ke sabhi aqdar samajh leta hun

'mir' aur 'dard' ke ashaar samajh leta hun
main ne us shama ki lo aur baDha hi di hai

apne mahaul mein ghaalib ne jalaya tha jise
main to iqbaal ki azmat ki qasam khata hun

aap be-kar meri baat pe jhunjhlate hain
baat itni hai ki main un ki hi buniyaadon par

ek nae ahd ki taqdir banane ke liye
ek nae waqt ki taswir banane ke liye

kuchh nae saz baja leta hun
main pujari hun mohabbat ke usulon ka magar

ishqiya sher mujhe yaad nahin
jin mein seThon ko nawabon ko maza aata hai

jin ko pazeb ki jhankar nigal jati hai
mujh ko masnui mohabbat nahin bhati lekin

main ne insan ki pasti ka nishan dekh liya
kar-KHanon ka dhuan dekh liya

saikDon sae bhaTakte hue larzan tarsan
baal uljhe hue mathe pe lakiren raqsan

apne kandhe pe uThae hue tariKH ka bojh
apne hathon se chalate hue tahzib ki naw

bhuk se panw to uThte nahin par uThte hain
aur malik ki tijori hai bhari jati hai

ek malik ke hazaron hain ghulam
jis tarah saikDon bandon ka faqat ek KHuda

aur usi ek hi malik ka wajud
aur usi ek KHuda ka paikar

han to main aap se kahta tha janab
lijiye aap to munh phir chuke so bhi gae
