bhakkar

bhakkar ke bazar ko dekha
sahra mein gulzar ko dekha
majburon ke pet ko dekha
qaid-e-azam gate ko dekha


kya samjhe kya jaane dekha
sab ko sina tane dekha
shalwaron se 'ari dekha
tah-bandon ko jari dekha


kaliyon ko sharmate dekha
khul kar dhola gate dekha
hotel wale 'arsh pe dekhe
hotel sare farsh pe dekhe


gahak aur byopari dekhe
duble dekhe bhaari dekhe
saf aur phaile phaile dekhe
kapde maile maile dekhe


ladke chhail-chhabile dekhe
har-su ret ke tile dekhe
tute phute nale dekhe
mukhlis tange wale dekhe


basti rasti basti dekhi
mulkon ki bhi hasti dekhi
gali gali dil-afza dekhi
thal walon ki duniya dekhi


mazduron ki mahfil dekhi
dur se kapde ki mil dekhi
begam dekhi bandi dekhi
dhan walon ki chandi dekhi


daulat 'izzat wali dekhi
jeb gharib ki khali dekhi
rahm ke talib bande dekhe
zardaron ke phande dekhe


'ilm-o-adab ke pale dekhe
shohrat ke matwale dekhe
sha'ir she'r sunate dekhe
same' sardi khate dekhe


dil badhte dil ghatte dekhe
murgh batere batte dekhe
haal mein dongda padte dekhe
bhuke sher ko ladte dekhe


ek taswir nirali dekhi
dane bhunne wali dekhi
sho'la dekha shabnam dekhi
phulon mein khushbu kam dekhi


duniya aankhen malte dekhi
waqt ki chakki chalte dekhi
nasuron ko riste dekha
insanon ko piste dekha


kuchh shatranj ki bazi dekhi
kuchh mehman-nawazi dekhi
ek taraf insan ko dekha
shaikh ko dekha khan ko dekha


pyaron ke andaz ko dekha
sufi ji ke naz ko dekha
ek ada-e-khas ko dekha
logon ke ikhlas ko dekha


sher afzal ki shan ko dekha
momin ke iman ko dekha
'adam' ne chhup kar saqi dekha
hum ne sab kuchh baqi dekha
