jab milaa koi hasin jaan par aafat aai — Hafeez Jaunpuri

is ko samjho na khatt-e-nafs 'hafiz'
aur hi kuchh hai shaaeri se gharaz

jo divaanon ne paimaaish ki hai maidaan-e-qayaamat ki
faqat do gaz zamin Thahri vo mere dasht-e-vahshat ki

o aankh badal ke jaane vaale
kuchh dhyaan kisi ki aajizi kaa

pari thi koi chhalaavaa thi yaa javaani thi
kahaan ye ho gai champat jhalak dikhaa ke mujhe

kabhi masjid mein jo vaaiz kaa bayaan suntaa huun
yaad aati hai mujhe pir-e-kharaabaat ki baat

bahut duur to kuchh nahin ghar miraa
chale aao ik din Tahalte hue

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

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

jism-e-aazaadi mein phunki tu ne majburi ki ruuh
khair jo chaahaa kiyaa ab ye bataa ham kyaa karein

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

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