bistar-e-khaak pe baiThaa huun na masti hai na hosh — Asghar Gondvi

sau baar tiraa daaman haathon mein mire aayaa
jab aankh khuli dekhaa apnaa hi garebaan thaa

kyaa mastiyaan chaman mein hain josh-e-bahaar se
har shaakh-e-gul hai haath mein saaghar liye hue

chalaa jaataa huun hanstaa kheltaa mauj-e-havaadis se
agar aasaaniyaan hon zindagi dushvaar ho jaae

zaahid ne miraa haasil-e-imaan nahin dekhaa
rukh par tiri zulfon ko pareshaan nahin dekhaa

yuun muskuraae jaan si kaliyon mein paD gai
yuun lab-kushaa hue ki gulistaan banaa diyaa

pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis balaa ki thi
ham aaj tak vo choT hain dil par liye hue

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

chupke se guzarte hain khabar bhi nahin hoti
din raat bhi kam-bakht javaani ki tarah hain

zamin ke aur taqaaze falak kuchh aur kahe
qalam bhi chup hai ki ab moD le kahaani kyaa

'baaqi' jo chup rahoge to uTTheingi ungliyaan
hai bolnaa bhi rasm-e-jahaan bolte raho

ho gae chup hamein paagal kah kar
jab kisi ne bhi na samjhaa ham ko

teri har baat pe chup rahte hain
ham saa patthar bhi koi kyaa hogaa
