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
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
