Safir-e-laila-3

safir-e-laila ye kya hua hai
shabon ke chehre bigaD gae hain

dilon ke dhage ukhaD gae hain
shafiq aansu nahin bache hain ghamon ke lahje badal gae hain

tumhi batao ki is khanDar mein jahan pe makDi ki sanaten hon
jahan samundar hon tirgi ke

siyah-jalon ke baadban hon
jahan payambar KHamosh leTe hon baaten karti hon murda ruhen

safir-e-laila tumhi batao jahan akela ho dastan-go
wo dastan-go jise kahani ke sab zamanon pe dastaras ho

shab-e-rifaqat mein tul-e-qissa charagh jalne talak sunae
jise zaban-e-hunar ka sauda ho zindagi ko sawal samjhe

wahi akela ho aur KHamoshi hazar sadiyon ki sans roke
wo chup lagi ho ki maut baam-e-falak pe baiThi zamin ke sae se kanpti ho

safir-e-laila tumhi batao wo aise dozaKH se kaise nipTe
dayar-e-laila se aae name ki nau ibarat ko kaise paDh le

purane lafzon ke istiaron mein gum mohabbat ko kyunke samjhe
safir-e-laila abhi malamat ka waqt aaega dekh lena

agar musir ho to aao dekho
yahan pe baiTho ye name rakh do

yahin pe rakh do inhi silon par
ki is jagah par hamari qurbat ke din mile the

wo din yahin par juda hue the inhi silon par
aur ab zara tum nazar uThao mujhe batao tumhaara naqa kahan gaya hai

buland TaKHnon se zard reti pe chalne wala sabih naqa
wo surKH naqa sawar ho kar tum aae jis par buri sara mein

wahi ki jis ki mahaar bandhi thi tum ne bosida ustuKHwan se
wo asp-e-tazi ke ustuKHwan the

mujhe batao safir-e-laila kidhar gaya wo
udhar to dekho wo haDDiyon ka hujum dekho

wahi tumhaara aziz sathi safar ka monis
pa ab nahin hai

aur ab uThao silon se name
paDho ibarat jo paDh sako to

kya Dar gae ho ki sath-e-kaghaz pe juz siyahi ke kuchh nahin hai
KHajil ho is par ki kyun ibarat ghubar ho kar nazar se bhagi

safir-e-laila ye sab karishme isi khanDar ne meri jabin par likhe hue hain
yahi ajaib hain jin ke sadqe yahan parinde na dekh paoge

aur sadiyon talak na utregi yan sawari
na chob-e-KHema gaDegi yan par

safir-e-laila ye mere din hain
safir-e-laila ye meri raaten

aur ab batao ki is aziyyat mein kis mohabbat ke KHwab dekhun
main kin KHudaon se nur mangun

magar ye sab kuchh purane qisse parai basti ke murda qaziye
tumhein fasanon se kya lagao

tumhein to matlab hai apne naqa se aur name ki us ibarat se
sath-e-kaghaz se jo uDi hai

safir-e-laila tumhaara naqa
main us ke marne par gham-zada hun

tumhaare ranj o alam se waqif baDe KHasaron ko dekhta hun
so aao us ki talafi kar dun ye mere shane hain baiTh jao

tumhein KHarabe ki kargah se nikal aaun
dayar-e-laila ko jaane wali habib rahon pe chhoD aaun
