Prem Kumar Nazar

aa.egi har taraf se hava dastaken liye
uncha makan bana ke bahut khiDkiyan na rakh

rakh di hai us ne khol ke khud jism ki kitab
saada varaq pe le koi manzar utaar de

ji chahta hai haath laga kar bhi dekh len
us ka badan qaba hai ki us ki qaba badan

lafz chhin jaa.en magar tahrir ho raushan jahan
honT hon khamosh lekin guftugu baaqi rahe

usi ke zikr se ham shahr men hue badnam
vo ek shakhs ki jis se hamari bol na chaal

ek angDa.i se saare shahr ko niind aa ga.i
ye tamasha main ne dekha baam par hota hua

aaegi har taraf se havaa dastakein liye
unchaa makaan banaa ke bahut khiDkiyaan na rakh

rakh di hai us ne khol ke khud jism ki kitaab
saada varaq pe le koi manzar utaar de

ji chaahtaa hai haath lagaa kar bhi dekh lein
us kaa badan qabaa hai ki us ki qabaa badan

usi ke zikr se ham shahr mein hue badnaam
vo ek shakhs ki jis se hamaari bol na chaal

lafz chhin jaaein magar tahrir ho raushan jahaan
honT hon khaamosh lekin guftugu baaqi rahe

ek angDaai se saare shahr ko niind aa gai
ye tamaashaa main ne dekhaa baam par hotaa huaa
