anar-kali

tere gham mein kitna nazuk ho gaya hai dil ki ab
is bhare bazar mein

har sada ek ajnabi ehsas ka aaina hai
aaj tere gham se farigh ho ke main

bah raha hun lazzat-e-izhaar ke sailab mein
ladkhadate rengte langdate hanste bolte

lafz aur un ka dhuan khushbu chamak
chal rahe hain mil ke be-ahang aawazon ke rang

ajnabi honton ke lafz
aarzuon ke ghubare hasraton ki titliyan

chaar-su udti hain main khamosh hun
guftugu ke daeron mein phail kar

rang bharta ja raha hai un tamannaon ka khun
jin ke lafzon ne zaban di sunne walon ka khayal

un mein duba ja raha hai bolte lafzon ka sahar
us ko apne dam mein lata hua

phail kar aata hai mujh tak pech-o-kham khata hua
aur main

us ki kaifiyat ka ghaza apne chehre par lagae
ek nai aawaz ke sae mein hun

chahta hun band aankhon se main us sailab mein
kud jaun aur nazzara karun

apne kanon se dilon ke tarjuman alfaz ka
surat goya se badh kar hai sukhan-andaz ka

nuqrai aawaz mein lafzon ka nur
apne hamrahi ke dil par naghma-bar

jaise shabnam daman-e-gul par gire be-ikhtiyar
is sada mein harf hain ya mom ke aansu hain jo

shama ke pahlu mein girte ja rahe hain kya karun
aankhen kholun aur us bachchi ki surat dekh lun

us sada mein nakhwat-e-zar ka jalal
jaise parbat se gire jharna koi

sang-e-aswad ki chatanen todna
dost ham-sin ham-sukhan

jin ke sada saf se andaz mein
koi mazi koi mustaqbil nahin

haal ke lamhat rangin qahqahe phulon ke haar
aur us aawaz mein

zist ki mahrumiyan zanjir dar zanjir hain
kholte lafzon ki bhap

dil ke aaine ko dhundlati hai hath
khud-bakhud badhta hai apni jeb ki jaanib magar

ye gada bhi to nahin
aur us aawaz mein hirs-o-hawas ka zahr hai

lafz tiron ki tarah udte hue
sina-e-ehsas mein paiwast hote hain magar

dil se nafrat ke siwa koi sada uthti nahin
aur ye aawaz meri dost-dar dil teri aawaz hai

kitne naghme gunjte hain kitni raaton ka khumar
kitne rangon ka talatum kitne phulon ki hansi

sarsaraate reshmin malbus ke manind ye teri sada
dhanpti hai garmi-e-aghosh se parwaz mein

kho gai hain sari aawazen teri aawaz mein
