dar-madh-am

shah-e-awadh se phone pe kal main ne baat ki
ism-e-girami shah ka abdussalam hai

puchha ki lucknow mein hain main ne kaha ki han
bole ki ye bataiye kai din qayam hai

main ne kaha ki aaj hi aaya hun ya-akhi
yun to khulus-e-shah mein kis ko kalam hai

lekin ye aane wale se jaane ka puchhna
kya is mein koi raaz hai ya kuchh payam hai

bole ki raaz-waz to kuchh bhi nahin hai bas
sunday ki sham panch baje izn-e-am hai

main tum ko lene waqt pe pahunchunga aur tum
milna sadak pe jo ki tumhaara maqam hai

main ne kaha ki main bhi, to bole ki han zarur
ye kyun samajh rahe ho ki izn-e-taam hai

hota agar taam tumhein kaun puchhta
is fasl mein bas aam hi guthli ke dam hai

tum ne takallufan bhi jo inkar kar diya
ghaalib ka wo jawab ba-zehn-e-awam hai

al-qissa un ke sath chala aaya pakh bana
khachchar ke aas-pas hi jis ka maqam hai

pakh se agar kisi ko koi bughz ho to ho
ghaalib ke is gadhe se to behtar ye nam hai

dekha yahan jo aa ke to sab bhant-bhant ke
aamon ka chaar samt bada izhdiham hai

main bhi sharik ho gaya bos-o-kanar mein
har aam khane wale ka ye tarz-e-am hai

chausa dashari ho ki safeda ho ek ek
chikna rasila shirin-dahan zard-fam hai

har samt guthliyon ke wo ambar hae hae
dil chhilke chhilke ho gaya ibrat-maqam hai

dil ne kaha miyan ye kahan le ke aa gae
dawat nahin ye aam ki ye qatl-e-am hai

main ne dapat ke dil se kaha chup khamosh rah
rakh kaam apne kaam se tera jo kaam hai

tu bhi to ek guthli-e-be-chhilka hi to hai
aur wo bhi be-mithas bada tera nam hai

tujh se to badh ke aam ki guthli hai kuchh suna
mitti mein dab do to phir ek pura aam hai

har lahza pita rahta hai tu ghunt khun ke
aur aam aam hi nahin bharpur jam hai

dar-dast jam-e-am hai aur to hai dar-baghal
teri to ek bund bhi mujh par haram hai

dil ne kaha ki khair tujhe kya jawab dun
jab ashhab-e-qalam hi tera be-lagam hai

mera to khun haram hai tujh par halal-khor
teri ragon mein kis ka lahu tez-gam hai

aati nahin hai mujh ko ye bahr-ul-fasahati
banda abul-kalam na abdul-kalam hai

na waqt falsafe ka padhane laga sabaq
sab mahw-e-am aur tu mahw-e-kalam hai

dil ke baligh tanz se mein satpata gaya
shayad ki ye amal bhi himaqat ke nam hai

ab jo nazar utha ke udhar se idhar tilak
dekha to aam-wam ka qissa tamam hai
