ghazal churaa ke kabhi khidmat-e-adab kar li — Dilawar Figar

is kaa kyaa hogaa ye jo unvaan aadhaa rah gayaa
ye bhi lete jaaein jo saamaan aadhaa rah gayaa

main bhi thaa haazir bazm mein jab tu ne dekhaa hi nahin
main bhi uThaa kar chal diyaa bilkul nayaa juutaa tiraa

pakDi gai radif to fauran ye kah diyaa
likhnaa kabhi thaa aur main yahaan likh gayaa abhi

ek achchhaa-khaasaa mard zanaane mein ghus paDaa
goyaa ki ek chor khazaane mein ghus paDaa

ek shaadi to Thiik hai lekin
ek do tiin chaar had kar di

kyaa bataaun mein tumhein is shahr kaa jughraafiya
bambai hai ik ghazal gaD-baD hai jis kaa qaafiya

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

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

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai
