aatish

dharti aatish hai aasman aatish
hai nihan aur kahin ayan aatish
ho charaghan jale diye se diya
kar na aise hi raegan aatish


dekh kar us ka aatishin chehra
ban gai meri dastan aatish
tab talak hum jawan rahte hain
jab talak hum mein hai jawan aatish


be-dhuan be-sharara be-lau bhi
phunk deti hai be-zaban aatish
kitne hamdard hain nasheman ke
aandhi barsat bijliyan aatish


zehn mein dil mein ruh mein tan mein
hai na jaane kahan kahan aatish
aag se aag ke bujhane ka
falsafa kar rahi bayan aatish


jism ho ghar ho ban ho basti ho
sab ko karti hai be-nishan aatish
husn aur ishq mein kashish hai tabhi
gar hai donon ke darmiyan aatish


ye kahin par hai chand lamhon ki
aur kahin par hai jawedan aatish
zikr kya kijiye jahannum ka
har qadam par hai jab yahan aatish


shuddh hai shuddh sab ko karti hai
hai jahan mein jahan-jahan aatish
