Ghazal 57: raushan kuchch is tarah yeh dil-e-daaGh.daar ho




raushan kuchch is tarah yeh dil-e-daaGh.daar ho
tazkeer-e- shaan-o-satvat-e-parvardigaar ho

jis rah pe maiN chalooN, voh guzar.gaah-e-yaar ho
har mazhar us ke husn ka aa`eena.daar ho

yooN zindagi davaam miree pur.vaqaar ho
"meri jabeeN pe naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa-e-yaar ho"

taqleed-e-Haqq ka 'azm miraa ustuvaar ho!
dil ko sukoon, rooh ko paiham qaraar ho

jis dil ka 'ishq-e-yaar pe daar-o-madaar ho
naam us ka kyoN na phir bhala shehr-e-nigaar ho?

shauq-e-visaal -o- Khwaahish-e-taskeen-e-bandagi
mutlaq na in se dil kabhi Ghaflat.shi'aar ho!

us mai ka, jaane kab se hai, shiddat se intizaar
'uqbaa ka jis meiN kaif-o-suroor-o-Khumaar ho

fikr-e-qubooliyat ki zaroorat hi kis liye?
dast-e-du'aa ko chaahiye sargarm-e-kaar ho

aaye qazaa ka vaqt bhi, 'naadaaN', agar qareeb
lab par usee ka naam ba.sad iftiKhaar ho
