Ghazal 54: us husn-e-balaa.Khez ki voh hosh.rubaa yaad!




us husn-e-balaa.Khez ki voh hosh.rubaa yaad!
aataa hai kaheeN dil ko kuchch is ke bhi sivaa yaad?

masjid ki azaaN ab na hai mandir ki nidaa yaad
kuchch ham ko naheeN 'ishq meiN juz raah-e-fanaa yaad

duniyaa ki Khabar koi, na Khud apna pataa yaad
hairat hai, yeh kis taur se deti hai daGhaa yaad!

sarmaaya`e-'ishrat bhi hai, saamaan-e-alam bhi,
n'emat kabhi hoti hai, kabhi ek balaa - yaad

hoga voh rah-e-zeest meiN kyoN.kar na sar.afraaz?
har gaam ho jis ko sabaq-e-sidq-o-safaa yaad

vaaraftagi, barbaadi, junooN, hashr, qayaamat!
ik bekasi-e-hijr meiN kyaa kyaa na huaa yaad!

dil shaam-o-sahar jis ko bujhaane meiN hai masroof
kyoN deti hai aaKhir usi aatish ko havaa yaad?

kehta hai jahaaN naaz-o-adaa jis ko 'umooman
ham ko hai vohi cheez ba.'unvaan-e-jafaa yaad!

paas un ke gaye jab bhi kabhi bahr-e-taKhaatub
aani thi usi vaqt unheN sharm-o-hayaa yaad?

ham ko bhi kahaaN un se vafaa kee hai tavaqq'o!
un ko bhi hai kab sheva`e-arbaab-e-vafaa yaad!

itnaa bhi naheeN sehl use dil se miTaana
bhooleN bhi to kaise use, jis par hai fidaa yaad?

ho jaata hai aksar hameN voh dard gavaara
jis dard ko pehnaati hai Khush.rang ridaa yaad

duniyaa ke manaazir bhi dil.aavez haiN, lekin
duniya ki judaa yaad hai, us kee hai judaa yaad!

lete haiN museebat meiN sabhi us ka sahaara
aasaa'ish-o-aaraam meiN kis ko hai Khudaa yaad?

iKhlaas naheeN teri 'ibaadat meiN to, 'naadaaN'
kis vaaste karta hai tu phir harf-e-du'aa yaad!

"duniya ke sitam yaad na apni hi vafaa yaad
ab mujh ko naheeN kuchh bhi muhabbat ke sivaa yaad"
