kaun kahtaa hai bulandi pe nahin huun 'saaghar' — Saghar Khayyami

chehre to jhurriyon se bhare dil javaan hain
din mein hain shaikh raat mein salmaan-khaan hain

ab aap hi bataaein vo kaise nibhaaegaa
jis ko nasib dum nahin vo kyaa hilaae gaa

ek qaidi subh ko phaansi lagaa kar mar gayaa
raat bhar ghazlein sunaain us ko thaanedaar ne

mahngaai ke zamaane mein bachchon ki rel-pel
aisaa na ho kamar tiri mahngaai toD de

hamaare laal ko darkaar hai vahi laDki
ki jis kaa baap police mein ho kam se kam deputy

kitne chehre lage hain chehron par
kyaa haqiqat hai aur siyaasat kyaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

chale ho dasht ko 'naazim' agar mile majnun
zaraa hamaari taraf se bhi pyaar kar lenaa

'yagaanaa' vahi faateh-e-lakhknau hain
dil-e-sang-o-aahan mein ghar karne vaale

sard-mehri se tiri garmi-e-ulfat na rahi
dil mein uThtaa thaa jo har-dam vo sharaara bhi gayaa

phir nahin mere sivaa koi bhi hotaa teraa
tu agar jaan ye jaataa ki mohabbat kyaa hai
