Ek Aarzu

duniya ki mahfilon se ukta gaya hun ya rab

kya lutf anjuman ka jab dil hi bujh gaya ho

shorish se bhagta hun dil DhunDta hai mera

aisa sukut jis par taqrir bhi fida ho

marta hun KHamushi par ye aarzu hai meri

daman mein koh ke ek chhoTa sa jhonpaDa ho

aazad fikr se hun uzlat mein din guzarun

duniya ke gham ka dil se kanTa nikal gaya ho

lazzat sarod ki ho chiDiyon ke chahchahon mein

chashme ki shorishon mein baja sa baj raha ho

gul ki kali chaTak kar paigham de kisi ka

saghar zara sa goya mujh ko jahan-numa ho

ho hath ka sirhana sabze ka ho bichhauna

sharmae jis se jalwat KHalwat mein wo ada ho

manus is qadar ho surat se meri bulbul

nanhe se dil mein us ke khaTka na kuchh mera ho

saf bandhe donon jaanib buTe hare hare hon

naddi ka saf pani taswir le raha ho

ho dil-fareb aisa kohsar ka nazara

pani bhi mauj ban kar uTh uTh ke dekhta ho

aaghosh mein zamin ki soya hua ho sabza

phir phir ke jhaDiyon mein pani chamak raha ho

pani ko chhu rahi ho jhuk jhuk ke gul ki Tahni

jaise hasin koi aaina dekhta ho

mehndi lagae suraj jab sham ki dulhan ko

surKHi liye sunahri har phul ki qaba ho

raaton ko chalne wale rah jaen thak ke jis dam

ummid un ki mera TuTa hua diya ho

bijli chamak ke un ko kuTiya meri dikha de

jab aasman pe har su baadal ghira hua ho

pichhle pahr ki koyal wo subh ki moazzin

main us ka ham-nawa hun wo meri ham-nawa ho

kanon pe ho na mere dair o haram ka ehsan

rauzan hi jhonpaDi ka mujh ko sahar-numa ho

phulon ko aae jis dam shabnam wazu karane

rona mera wazu ho nala meri dua ho

is KHamushi mein jaen itne buland nale

taron ke qafile ko meri sada dira ho

har dardmand dil ko rona mera rula de

behosh jo paDe hain shayad unhen jaga de
