Adam Ka KHala

hawa ke jhonke idhar jo aaen to un se kahna

yahan koi aisi shai nahin jise wo le jaen sath apne

yahan koi aisi shai nahin jise koi dekh kar ye soche

ki ye hamare bhi pas hoti

yahan koi rah-rau nahin hai na koi manzil

yahan andhera nahin ujala nahin koi shai nahin hai

guzarte lamhon ke aatishin panw is jagah pai-ba-pai rawan hain

har ek shai ko sujhate jate har ek shai ko jalate jate miTate jate

har ek shai ko sujhate jate ki kuchh nahin hast se bhi hasil

hawa ke jhonke idhar jo aaen to un se kahna

ye sab maabid ye shahr ganw

fasana-e-zist ke nishan hain

magar har ek dar pe ja ke dekha har ek diwar raund Dali har ek rauzan ko dil samajh kar

ye bhed jaana

guzarte lamhon ke aatishin panw har jagah pai-ba-pai rawan hain

kahin miTate kahin miTane ke waste naqsh-e-nau banate

hayat-e-rafta hayat-e-ainda se milegi ye kaun jaane

hawa ke jhonke idhar jo aaen to un se kahna

har jagah dam duriyon ka bichha hua hai

har ek jagah waqt ek ifrit ki tarah yun khaDa hua hai

ki jaise wo kaenat ka aks-e-be-karan ho

kabhi fareb-e-KHayal ban kar kabhi kabhi bhul kar shuur-e-jamal ban kar

shikar ki na-tawan nazar ko sujha raha hai

har ek shai se mera nishan-e-adam ayan hai

adam bhi daryuza-gar hai mera mere hi bal par rawan-dawan hai

hawa ke jhonke idhar jo aaen to un se kahna

fasana-e-zist ka jhulasta hua ujala bhi miT chuka hai

magar ho miT kar koi andhera nahin bana hai

ki is jagah to koi andhera nahin ujala nahin yahan koi shai nahin hai
