zalzala

ek shab halki si jumbish mujhe mahsus hui
main ye samjha mere shanon ko hilata hai koi
aankh uthai to ye dekha ki zamin hilti hai
jis jagah shai koi rakkhi hai wahin hilti hai


sahn-o-diwar ki jumbish hai to dar hilte hain
bahar aaya to ye dekha ki shajar hilte hain
koi shai jumbish-e-paiham se nahin hai mahrum
ek taqat hai pas-e-parda magar na-malum


chand lamhe bhi ye nairangi-e-alam na rahi
zalzala khatm hua jumbish-e-paiham na rahi
hairat-e-did se angusht-ba-dandan tha main
shahid-e-jalwa-e-qahhaari-e-yazdan tha main


dafatan ek sada aah-o-fughan ki aai
mere allah ye ghadi kis pe musibat lai
gul kiya zalzala-e-qahr ne kis ghar ka charagh
kis pe dhaya ye sitam kis ko diya hijr ka dagh


ja ke nazdik ye nazzara-e-hirman dekha
ek hasina ko ba-sad haal-e-pareshan dekha
baizawi shakl mein the husn ke jalwe pinhan
aankh mein sehr bhara tha magar aansu the rawan


main ne ghabra ke ye puchha ki ye haalat kyun hai
teri hasti hadaf-e-ranj-o-musibat kyun hai
boli ai shaer-e-rangin-tabiat mat puchh
roz-o-shab dil pe guzarti hai qayamat mat puchh


log duniya ko teri mujh ko zamin kahte hain
ahl-e-zar mujh ko mohabbat mein hasin kahte hain
main unhin husn-paraston ki hun tadpai hui
tujh se kahne ko ye raaz aai hun ghabrai hui


zar-paraston se hain bad-dil meri duniya ke gharib
hain giraftar-e-salasil meri duniya ke gharib
mujh se ye taza balaen nahin dekhi jati
zalimon ki ye jafaen nahin dekhi jatin


chahti hun mere ushshaq mein kuchh farq na ho
muft mein kashti-e-ehsas-e-wafa gharq na ho
ek wo jis ko mayassar hon imaraat-o-naqib
ek wo jis ko na ho phuns ka chhappar bhi nasib


sahab-e-daulat-o-zi-rutba-o-zardar ho ek
be-nawa gham-zada-o-bekas-o-lachaar ho ek
ek mukhtar ho
aurang-e-jahanbani ka


ek muraqqa ho gham-o-ranj-o-pareshani ka
sakht nafrat hai mujhe apne parastaron se
chhin lete hain mujhe mere talab-garon se
chira-dasti ka mita deti hain sab jah-o-jalal


haif-sad-haif ki hail hai gharibon ka khayal
ye na hote to dikhati main qayamat ka saman
ye na hote to mitati main ghurur-e-insan
ek karwat mein badal deti nizam-e-alam


ek ishaare hi mein ho jati hai ye mahfil barham
ek tabassum se jahan barq-ba-daman hota
na ye aaraishen hotin na ye saman hota
har ada puchhti sarmaya-paraston ke mizaj


kuchh to farmaiye hazrat ki hain kis haal mein aaj
lakh-pati sankh-pati be-sar-o-saman hote
jaan bach jae bas is baat ke khwahan hote
barsar-e-khak nazar aate hain qasr-o-aiwan


ashk-e-khunin se mere aur bhi uthte tufan
meri aaghosh mein sab ahl-e-sitam aa jate
mere bartaw se bas nak mein dam aa jate
baz ke munh gham-e-alam se kale karti


baz ko maut ki dewi ke hawale karti
khun-e-zardar hi mazdur ki mazduri hai
main jo khamosh hun ye bais-e-majburi hai
meri aaghosh mein jabir bhi hain majbur bhi hain


mere daman hi se wabasta ye mazdur bhi hain
zabt karti hun jo gham aata hai sah jati hun
josh aata hai magar kanp ke rah jati hun
