use bhi parda-e-tahzib ko giraanaa hai — Tahir Adeem

hain dastaras mein abhi bhi 'taahir' uThaa ke ab is ko pi bhi Daalo
mushaahidon mein hi ho gai gar ye ThanDi chaae to kyaa karoge

har ek rasta-e-paayaab se nikalnaa hai
saraab-e-umr ke har baab se nikalnaa hai

faqat tum hi nahin naaraaz mujh se jaan-e-jaanaan
mire andar kaa insaan tak khafaa hai intihaa hai

mujhe vo chhoD kar jab se gayaa hai intihaa hai
rag-o-pai mein fazaa-e-karbalaa hai intihaa hai

rang kyaa ajab diyaa meri bevafaai ko
us ne yuun kiyaa ki mere khat jalaae uud mein

khirad ke laakh qaasid hain to honge
junun kaa naama-bar koi nahin hai

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

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

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

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