Dhund

raushan raushan raushan

aankhen yun markuz hui hain jaise main hi main hun

mujh mein la-tadad fasane aur maani hain

main sad-ha asrar chhupae phirta hun

main KHush-qismat hun mere sath jahan-e-rang-o-ranai hai

aur daricha-band nihan-KHanon se ruh-e-yazdan ki KHushbu uThti hai

mera sar o masham moattar karti hai

aur meri taqdir jahan par KHalq hui hai

jo arman kisi ke dil mein hai main us ki KHushbu hun

wa-hasrat ka arz o sama mein phaila naghma

jab mahbub talak ja pahunche

to phir main aawaz nahin rahta hun

aur na shiryanon ka bahta KHun-KHaraba

balki lafz-e-mutlaq ban jata hun

aankhen yun markuz hui hain jaise main hi main hun aur nahin hai koi

sachchi baat magar hai itni

main murdar samundar hun

ehsas ziyan ka jhonka hai

aankhen bol nahin sakti hain

aur badan binai se mahrum hua hai

lekin main to ab tak KHwab-zada taswiren dekh raha hun

aur samundar ke parbat par Thahra jangal

bite giton se pur jangal

azali KHamoshi ke haale mein thar-thar kanp raha hai

sadiyan saye shoKH fasilen aamanna saddaqna

ai-lo! suraj chand sitare dharti ke sine par utre

meri rahguzar par bikhre

halki maddham aur musalsal harkat

manzil phul kanwal ka phul adam ke bahr-e-be-payan mein

tanha jhule

bahar par markuz nigahon se maKHfi lafz-e-mutlaq

tanha aur udas kanwal par jhilmil jhilmil phuT baha

mauhum rida-e-koh-o-dasht-o-daman

duniya-e-man-o-tu par chhai

phiki phiki ho kar phail gai dhul bani

apna ganw, gori ke panw tak dhundlae

phaili raushan aur nirali dhund, aur dhund aur dhund
