abas hai un se ik chiDiyaa ke bachche ki vilaadat bhi — Khalid Irfan

kaisaa ajiib aayaa hai is saal kaa bajaT
murghi kaa jo bajaT hai vahi daal kaa bajaT

jo tum parfum mein Dupki lagaa kar roz aati ho
fazaa tum se moattar hai havaa mein kuchh nahin rakkhaa

jo lughat ko toD-maroD de jo ghazal ko nasr se joD de
main vo bad-mazaaq-e-sukhan nahin vo jadidiyaa koi aur hai

election phir vo zil-hijj ke mahine mein karaaeinge
to kyaa do daant ke voter ki phir qurbaaniyaan hongi

main ne bas itnaa hi likhaa i-love-you aur phir
us ne aage kar diyaa thaa gaal internet par

do chaar din se meri samaaat block thi
tum ne ghazal paDhi to miraa kaan khul gayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

kal yahi bachche samundar ko muqaabil paaeinge
aaj tairaate hain jo kaaghaz ki nannhi kashtiyaan

hamaare jitne bachche the parinde ho gae saare
ye vo ghar hai jahaan par ab koi bachcha nahin rahtaa

ye bachpan ke saathi ki hai qabr 'saahil'
jo sab ko rulaa kar yahaan so rahaa hai

zakhm jo tum ne diyaa vo is liye rakkhaa haraa
zindagi mein kyaa bachegaa zakhm bhar jaane ke baad
