jaan ye sarkashi-e-jism tire bas ki nahin — Farhat Ehsas

vo chaand kah ke gayaa thaa ki aaj niklegaa
to intizaar mein baiThaa huaa huun shaam se main

ek bose ke bhi nasib na hon
honTh itne bhi ab gharib na hon

phir soch ke ye sabr kiyaa ahl-e-havas ne
bas ek mahina hi to ramzaan rahegaa

mire ashaar hain vo aasmaani khvaab jin ko
miri miTTi ke honThon par utaaraa jaa rahaa hai

ik aayat-e-vajud huun miTTi ke Dher mein
mere nuzul ki to koi shaan hi nahin

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

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

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

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

yuun to qadam qadam pe hai divaar saamne
koi na ho to khud se ulajh jaanaa chaahiye

chhup gayaa eid kaa chaand nikal kar der hui par jaane kyon
nazrein ab tak Tiki hui hain masjid ke minaaron par
