salman ke nam
wo pal
jab tumhein kokh se jan ke
ummid-o-imkan ka tara samajh kar
main ne aaghosh mein bhar liya tha
wo pal
surKH kaliyon ko jab
apne sine ki dhaara se sincha tha
aur apni hi tishnagi ka mudawa kiya tha
ek nanhe se chehre ke
nazuk KHadd-o-KHal mein Dub kar
jab meri ruh parwan chaDhne lagi thi
wo pal
jab meri shab guzari ki
mehnat-kashi mein
tumhaari numu ki guhar-bar aasudgi thi
wo pal
rahat-e-maujud-o-imkan
jab meri god mein so gai thi
wo pal
jab meri aatma
aur parmatma
ek madhur rup mein Dhal gae the
mere aangan mein
masum si raushni thi
wo pal
waqt ki rahguzar mein
bahut dur pichhe kahin rah gaya hai
ghubar-e-safar ke dhundlakon mein
nazron se ojhal hua hai
aur ab
jab ki tum aae ho
apne hi ghar mein mehman ban ke
tumhein dur jaana hai
masruf ho
waqt thoDa hai
aage meri zindagi ki Dagar par
saat-e-wapsin muntazir hai
is ghaDi
garche meri ghaDi apni raftar se chal rahi hai
magar
meri aankhon ki sukhi nami
purane kiwaDon ki chaukhaT mein
na jaane kyun
jazb hone lagi hai
aur
is ghar ke diwar-o-dar apni apni jagah chup khaDe hain
Nazm
Wo pal ye ghaDi
