Nae Sur Ki Tamsil

kaamani KHwab ki lau mein hansti hui kaamani

sola baras ki taqwim mein fasl-e-gul ka koi tazkira

tak na tha

main ne battis battis jhaD ruten kaT din

ab jo tamsil ke ek waqfe mein tum se mila hun

to sanson mein nam chaal mein un zamanon ka rum

ji uTha hai

jo ahd-e-zamistan mein yaKH the

saqar sa saqar

kaamani KHanda-e-gul ki kul zindagi

ek gulchin ki wahshat bhari aankh hai

ye chaTakna ye khulna

bahut sehar-awar sahi jagne aur sone mein ek

KHwab-e-mauhum se kuchh ziyaada nahin

KHwab-o-KHwahish ajab silsila hai

bahut dur bahti hui aabshaaron ka ek silsila

jis mein koh-e-tazabzub ki KHushbu bhi hai

ahd-o-paiman ka jadu bhi

KHun se suron tak

suron se us ek lafz tak

jis mein ragon ka jauhar bandha hai

kahin aimani ras kahin marwa ThaTh bhageshiri

bhairwin aur pahaDi

wo sab kuchh jo apne lahu mein dahakta chahakta hai

jis ke tanazur mein hum bist-o-shash-sal

pahle bandhe the

unhi aabshaaron se mujh ko sada aa rahi hai

so main ja raha hun

nae sur uThane

ki sargam ki farsudgi dida-o-dil bujhane lagi hai

naya sur jise lafz tartib dete hain

pahunche to jaano ki sanea ke lafzon se uThti nami tum

tak aai

pas umr ka hasil fan jaise sarfa-e-jaan

kahin kuchh nahin

bisat-o-shash-sal dar KHidmat fan basar karda am

ba-chashm-e-nam auraq-e-tar karda am

dar faqiri guzar karda am

harf sar karda am

ye jo lafzon ki paighambari hai na hoti to ibrat

sara mein bhala kaun jita

main lafzon mein suskarta hun

suna tum ne sur

naghma-e-taza ka ye kitne qarnon se dil mein kisi

sil ki surat jama tha

ye ju-e-rawan tum tak aai magar kitne

KHurshid-o-mahtab aahang

bante hue bujh gae

kitne din gul hue

kitni raaten Dhalin

KHair kaisa hisab

aise naghmon mein KHun aur charaghon ke roghan ka ek

pursa kise dun

bhala koi aza-dar hai

pursa-daron ki tamsil mein koi waqfa nahin
