riwayat shikan

faiz le kar 'mir' se aaya hua
dekhiye ek shakhs itraya hua
har sukhanwar se yahi kahta hai ab
mustanad hai mera farmaya hua


manta hun ye baja hai thik hai
us ne jo jitna kaha hai thik hai
ye naya uslub lae kis tarah
sher mein jiddat dikhae kis tarah


us ka har ek lafz hai manga hua
yani ab tak jo kaha hai bhik hai
us pe khulte hi nahin gham baad ke
ahd-o-asr-e-khanaman-barbaad ke


'mir'-o-'ghaalib' ka zamana aur hai
ahd-e-hazir ka fasana aur hai
us ko kya malum kya se kya hue
hae kitne hashr hain barpa hue


us ko kya malum ghurbat ki ghadi
khwab sare ek pal mein mar gae
us ko kya malum chhin jaane ka gham
jaan se pyare bhi apne na rahe


us ko kya malum hai aqsa ka dukh
jab nihatton par bhi missile chale
us ko kya malum ki kashmir mein
kis tarah se maon ke bete kate


us ko kya malum sunami ka din
shahr pal mein dub kar maidan bane
us ko kya malum nau gyarah ke baad
kis tarah ke zulm the dhae gae


us ko kya malum bam ke zor par
jurm mazlumon se manwae gae
us ko kya malum karobar hai
jang ka maidan bikte aslahe


hum sunaen gar huruf-e-agahi
bhul jae har dalil-e-shaeri
ungliyan kanon mein de kar zor se
chikh mare aur mar jae abhi
