kabhi na sochaa thaa main ne uDaan bharte hue — Faragh Rohvi

usi taraf hai zamaana bhi aaj mahv-e-safar
'faraagh' main ne jidhar se guzarnaa chaahaa thaa

ham se tahzib kaa daaman nahin chhoDaa jaataa
dasht-e-vahshat mein bhi aadaab liye phirte hain

mujh mein hai yahi aib ki auron ki tarah main
chehre pe kabhi dusraa chehraa nahin rakhtaa

khuub nibhegi ham donon mein mere jaisaa tu bhi hai
thoDaa jhuTaa main bhi Thahraa thoDaa jhuTaa tu bhi hai

kisi ne raah kaa patthar hamin ko Thahraayaa
ye aur baat ki phir aaina hamin Thahre

yaaro hudud-e-gham se guzarne lagaa huun main
mujh ko sameT lo ki bikharne lagaa huun main

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

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

gham-e-dauraan ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanaan ke chalan
vahi sochi hui chaalein vahi be-saakhta-pan

ye kis liye ai zamaane tiri kare taqlid
'shajar' kaa rizq-e-sukhan karbalaa se aataa hai

ye to sochaa hi nahin us ko judaa karte hue
chun liyaa hai gham bhi khushiyon ko rihaa karte hue

aarzu thi ek din tujh se milun
mil gayaa to sochtaa huun kyaa karun
