Shikayat

shafaq ki dulhan apne ghurfe se kab tak mujhe dekh kar muskuraati rahegi
sunahri libaade ki zar-kar kirnen kahan tak yunhi gungunati rahengi

kahan tak zamurrad ke parde pe ye surKH phulon ke naghme machalte rahenge
ki aaKHir koi chand koi andhera kisi sharq-e-tira ke dar se nikal kar

abhi us ko pahnaega tirgi ka wo jama ki us ki jawan ret umangen
sitare uDati hui Dub jaengi maghrib ki KHamosh KHunin KHala mein

shafaq ki dulhan jhank kar dekhti hai
mujhe dekhti hai

mere dil ke bujhte hue surKH shoalon ki parwaz-e-be-kar ko dekhti hai
ki ye zindagi jo wadiat hui thi ki har samt sailab naghma baha de

husul-e-musarrat ki KHatir har ek sang-e-KHara ko ek marmarin but bana de
wo but jo har ek tan par muskura de har ek samt sailab-e-naghma baha de

har ek naghma tarik raaton ke sinon ko yun gudguda de
ki tarikiyon se wo anwar phuTin jinhen aaftab-e-sahar KHud sada de

magar ab yahi zindagi bujh rahi hai zamane ke betab aab-e-rawan mein
shafaq ki dulhan jhank kar dekhti hai kise dekhti hai mujhe dekhti hai

mujhe dekhti hai to main apne ghurfe ki banhon ko milne ki takid kar dun
ki main to usi haal mein raat-din waqt ke nur-o-zulmat mein ghulta raha hun

mere pas koi sunahri-labaada nahin hai na koi zamurrad ke parde
mujhe be-sabab dekhne mein hai kya ab ki main is ko hasil nahin kar sakunga

mujhe apni din-bhar ki thak-haar kar mere pas aane wali dulhan se gharaz hai
meri zard-ru multaji aur behis dulhan mujh ko aise kahan dekhti hai

use us se kya bujh raha hun dama-dam dama-dam piyape piyape o dama-dam
use aisi baaton se raghbat nahin hai

use to gharaz us se hai thak chuki hai gharelu shab-o-roz ki uljhanon se
ye us ka taqaza hai le jaun us ko kahin dur baadal se parbat se bhi dur

jahan hun sunahri libaadon ki kirnen wo zar-kar kirnen ki jo gungunaen
jahan hun zamurrad ke pardon pe KHun rang phulon ke naghme ki jo muskuraen

jahan nelmi sard ghurfe hun ghurfe
zara khol dun apne ghurfe ki bahen

shafaq ki dulhan ja chuki hai har ek samt hain aasman parastaron ke aansu
idhar aa idhar aa meri zard-ru meri behis dulhan meri aaghosh mein aa

ki main Dar raha tha
mujhe dekhti thi shafaq ki dulhan tere hote hue bhi mujhe dekhti thi

mujhe ghurti thi
