mujh ko darvesh samajhne vaalaa — Abul Hasanat Haqqi

apne manzar se alag hotaa nahin hai koi rang
apni aankhon ke sivaa baad-e-bahaari aur kyaa

badan khud apni hi tajsim kar nahin paate
qarib aayaa to aankhon ko khvaab main ne diyaa

main apne zahr se vaaqif huun vo samajhtaa nahin
hai mere kisa-e-sad-kaam mein sharaafat bhi

vo mehrbaan nahin hai to phir khafaa hogaa
koi to raabta us ko bahaal rakhnaa hai

ye sach hai us se bichhaD kar mujhe zamaana huaa
magar vo lauTnaa chaahe to phir zamaana bhi kyaa

duur rahtaa hai magar jumbish-e-lab bos-o-kanaar
Dubtaa rahtaa hai dariyaa mein kinaaraa kyaa kyaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe
