be-khudi mein shaan-e-khuddaari bhi hai — Mustafa Rahi

shaayad hi raas aae mujhe aish-e-marg bhi
'raahi' gham-e-hayaat kaa maaraa huaa huun main

allaah tere haath hai khuddaariyon ki laaj
daanista haadsaat se Takraa gayaa huun main

dil dhaDaktaa hai sitaaron kaa yahaan
uf ye duniyaa kis qadar taarik hai

na samjhaa koi asraar-e-mohabbat
jo samjhaa kuchh dil-e-naadaan samjhaa

aadamiyyat kaa zikr kyaa naaseh
aadmi ab kahaan hain saae hain

dekhiye kab tak yahi haalat yahi aalam rahe
dil ki har dhaDkan ye kahti hai ki vo aane ko hain

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

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

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

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