Nazm

nahin main kisi yunani almiye ka

markazi kirdar nahin

na hi main is liye bana tha

main to ek KHamosh tamashai hun

hazaron sal pattharon mein jakDe

kisi markazi kirdar ki aankhen

jab shahin se nochwai jati hain

aur jab wo dard se karah kar kahta hai

main tamam pyar karne walon ke liye ek karbnak manzar hun

ya salha-sal samundaron mein bhaTakne wale sayyahon se

KHuda jab un ke ghar aane ka din chhin leta hai

ya jab koi sarkash markazi yunani kirdar

apne aabai KHuda se muskura kar kahta hai

taKHliq ke baad mujh par tumhaara koi haq nahin raha

to main apne baghal wale masum tamashai se

machis mang kar apna cigarette sulga leta hun

KHuda ya ye log kitne bewaquf hain

mujhe zindagi ka koi tajraba nahin

shayad apni ghaltiyon ko hans kar bhulne ke fuqdan ko tajraba kahte hain

ya phir shayad isi iKHtilaj-e-kam-tari ko

zehn ke frame mein band rakhne ko

shayad mujhe malum nahin

ye sadi dard-e-zachgi se karah rahi hai

aur main tawariKH ke shatirana sehn mein

baiTha soch raha hun

main nahin ye duniya zaif ho gai hai

aur jald hi mar jaegi

magar muarriKH mere bare mein kya likhenge
