roz badhataa huun jahaan se aage - Kaifi Azmi

daayaraa

roz badhataa huun jahaan se aage

phir vahiin laut ke aa jaataa huun

baarahaa tod chukaa huun jin ko

inhiin diivaaron se takaraataa huun

roz basate hain kaii shahar naye

roz dharatii men samaa jaate hain

zal-zalon men thii zaraa sii girah

vo bhii ab roz hii aa jaate hain

jism se ruuh talak ret hii ret

na kahiin dhuup na saayaa na saraab

kitane aramaan hai kis seharaa men

kaun rakhataa hai mazaaron kaa hisaab

nafz bujhatii bhii bhadakatii bhii hai

dil kaa maamuul hai ghabaraanaa bhii

raat andhere ne andhere se kahaa

ik aadat hai jiye jaanaa bhii

qaus ek rang kii hotii hai tuluu'a

ek hii chaal bhii paimaanaa bhii

goshe goshe men khadii hai masjid

mushkil kyaa ho gaii mayakhaane kii

koii kahataa thaa samandar huun main

aur merii jeb men qataraa bhii nahiin

khairiyat apanii likhaa karataa huun

ab to taqadiir men khataraa bhii nahiin

apane haathon ko padhaa karataa huun

kabhii quraan kabhii giitaa kii tarah

chand rekhaaon men samaauun main

zindagii qaid hai siitaa kii tarah

raam kab lautenge maaluum nahiin

kaash raavan hii koii aa jaataa
