Taswir o tasawwur

wo kab ke aae bhi aur gae bhi nazar mein ab tak sama rahe hain
ye chal rahe hain, wo phir rahe hain, ye aa rahe hain wo ja rahe hain

wahi qayamat hai qadd-e-baala wahi hai surat, wahi sarapa
labon ko jumbish, nigah ko larzish, khaDe hain aur muskura rahe hain

wahi latafat, wahi nazakat, wahi tabassum, wahi tarannum
main naqsh-e-hirman bana hua tha wo naqsh-e-hairat bana rahe hain

KHiram rangin, nizam rangin, kalam rangin, payam rangin
qadam qadam par, rawish rawish par nae nae gul khila rahe hain

shabab rangin, jamal rangin, wo sar se pa tak tamam rangin
tamam rangin bane hue hain, tamam rangin bana rahe hain

tamam ranaiyon ke mazhar, tamam ranginiyon ke manzar
sambhal sambhal kar simaT simaT kar sab ek markaz par aa rahe hain

bahaar-e-rang-o-shabab hi kya sitara o mahtab hi kya
tamam hasti jhuki hui hai, jidhar wo nazren jhuka rahe hain

tuyur sarshaar-e-saghar-e-mul halak-e-tanwir-e-lala-o-gul
sab apni apni dhunon mein mil kar ajab ajab git ga rahe hain

sharab aaankhon se Dhal rahi hai, nazar se masti ubal rahi hai
chhalak rahi hai uchhal rahi hai, piye hue hain pila rahe hain

KHud apne nashshe mein jhumte hain, wo apna munh aap chumte hain
KHarab-e-masti bane hue hain, halak-e-masti bana rahe hain

faza se nashsha baras raha hai, dimagh phulon mein bas raha hai
wo kaun hai jo taras raha hai? sabhi ko mai-kash pila rahe hain

zamin nashsha, zaman nashsha, jahan nashsha, makan nashsha
makan kya? la-makan nashsha, Dubo rahe hain pila rahe hain

wo ru-e-rangin o mauja-e-yam ki jaise daman-e-gul pe shabnam
ye garmi-e-husn ka hai aalam, araq araq mein naha rahe hain

ye mast bulbul bahak rahe hain, qarib-e-ariz chahak rahe hai
gulon ki chhati dhaDak rahi hai, wo dast-e-rangin baDha rahe hain

ye mauj-o-dariya, ye reg-o-sahra ye ghuncha-o-gul, ye mah-o-anjum
zara jo wo muskura diye hain wo sab ke sab muskura rahe hain

faza ye naghmon se bhar gai hai ki mauj-e-dariya Thahar gai hai
sukut-e-naghma bana hua hai, wo jaise kuchh gunguna rahe hain

ab aage jo kuchh bhi ho muqaddar, rahega lekin ye naqsh dil par
hum un ka daman pakaD rahe hain, wo apna daman chhuDa rahe hain

ye ashk jo bah rahe hain paiham, agarche sab hain ye hasil-e-gham
magar ye malum ho raha hai, ki ye bhi kuchh muskura rahe hain

zara jo dam bhar ko aankh jhapki, ye dekhta hun nai tajalli
tilism surat miTa rahe hain, jamal mani bana rahe hain

KHushi se labrez shash-jihat hai, zaban par shor-e-tahniyat hai
ye waqt wo hai 'jigar' ke dil ko wo apne dil se mila rahe hain
