koi daanaa koi divaana milaa — Chandrabhan Khayal

vaqt aur haalaat par kyaa tabsira kiije ki jab
ek uljhan dusri uljhan ko suljhaane lage

nazar mein shokh shabihein liye hue hai sahar
abhi na koi idhar se dhuaan dhuaan guzre

sochtaa huun to aur baDhti hai
zindagi hai ki pyaas hai koi

apni divaaron se kuchh baahar nikal
sirf khaali ghar ke baam-o-dar na dekh

shahr mein jurm-o-havaadis is qadar hain aaj-kal
ab to ghar mein baiTh kar bhi log ghabraane lage

paas se dekhaa to jaanaa kis qadar maghmum hain
an-ginat chehre ki jin ko shaadmaan samjhaa thaa main

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai
