Saughat

main to hairan hun kis tarah kaTe rah-e-hayat

ek naya moD bahar-gam ubhar aata hai

sar-e-tariki-e-shab khul jo gaya aaKHir-e-shab

phir naya raaz ba-har-subh nikhar aata hai

jaanchta phirta hun mazi ke khanDar hasrat se

dekhta phirta hun har naqsh-e-hasin hairat se

sochta phirta hun kaun aaya tha kab aaya tha

us jagah sath liye kawish-e-takmil-e-hayat

DhunDhta phirta hun shayad ki ye mazi ke nuqush

kuchh pata den ki shab rose bataun kyunkar

gham ke qabil main KHud apne ko banaun kyunkar

nit nae gham ke giran-bar uThaun kyunkar

dur ek husn ka panchhi sa nazar aata hai

qaid kar lun use shayad ki bahal jae ye dil

dil ki aawaz thaki-haari fasurda bojhal

jis ne taKHil ki duniya mein macha di halchal

main koi tifl nahin hun ki bahal jaunga

na karo qaid mujhe husn ke bahlaon mein

ek nazar jhank ke dekho meri aashaon mein

tum hi KHud sharm se ho jaoge pani pani

ek bebas ko magar dete ho kyun aisa fareb

ab main kis rah mein gham-e-dil ka mudawa DhunDun

an-ginat fikr ki rahen nazar aati hain mujhe

ek naya moD ba-har-gam ubhar aata hai

aur har moD nazar aata hai kitna dilkash

jannat-e-qalb-o-nazar chand-sitaron ka jahan

jaise andaz-e-saba jaise bahaaron ka jahan

jaise jadu bhare nainon ke nigaron ka jahan

jaise masum nigahon mein ishaaron ka jahan

jaise phulon bhari shaKHon pe shararon ka jahan

uf main kis rah mein gham-e-dil ka mudawa DhunDun

kis taraf jaun kise dil se lagae rakkhun

zindagi bhar ki phir us zist ko jannat samjhun

har-dam ek ek nafas chahe jidhar ja ke rahun

kaun is zist ko kar sakta hai mahdud-o-muqim

us ki ek ek ada barq-sifat shoala-nafas

ji raha hun nai ummid liye har ek pal

gham liye dil mein ki main kya na bana kyun na bana

KHush hun har gham se ki idrak ki saughat hai ye

soch leta hun ki main kya hun yahi kya kam hai
