Nasir Kazmi

"Na poochh kaisay guzartee hai zindagi 'Nasir'
Bus aik jabr hai yeh iKHtiyaar agar hai bhee"

Kuch yaadgaar-e-sheher-e-sitamgar hee lay chalaiN
Aaey haiN is galee maiN to pathar hee lay chalaiN

YooN kis tarha katay ga kaRi dhoop ka safar
Sar per khayaal-e-yaar kee chaadar hee lay chalaiN

Ranj-e-safar kee koee nishaani to paas ho
ThoRee see khaak-e-koocha-e-dilbar hee lay chalaiN

Yeh keh kay chaiRtee hai humaiN dil gariftagee
Ghabraa gaey haiN aap, to bahar hee lay chalaiN

Is shehar-e-bay_chiraaGH maiN jaey gee tu kahaaN
Aa ai shab-e-firaaq tujhay ghar hee lay chalaiN

Araaish-e-KHayal bhee ho dil kusha bhee ho
Woh dard ab kahaN jisay jee chahta bhee ho

Yeh kya keh roz aik sa GHam aik see umeed
Is ranj-e-bay_KHumaar kee ab intiha bhee ho

Yeh kya keh aik taur say guzray tamaam umr
Jee chahta hai ab koi teray siva bhee ho

Tootay kabhi to khwab-e-shab-o-roz ka tilism
Itnay hujoom maiN koi chehra naya bhee ho

Deevangee-e-shauq ko yeh dhun hai in dinoN
Ghar bhee ho aur bay_dar-o-deevar sa bhee ho

Juz dil koi makaan nahiN dehr maiN jahaN
Rehzan ka KHauf bhee na rahay dar khula bhee ho

Har zarra aik mehmil-e-ibrat hai dasht ka
Laikin kisay dikhaooN koi daikhta bhee ho

Har shai pukaartee hai pas-e-pardah-e-sukoot
Laikin kisay sunaooN koi humnava bhee ho

Fursat maiN sun shugaftagee-e-GHunchah kee sada
Yeh woh sukhan nahiN jo kisi nay kaha bhee ho

Baitha hai aik shaKHs miray paas dair say
Koi bhala sa ho to hamaiN daikhta bhee ho

Bazm-e-sukhan bhee ho sukhan-e-garm kaileeay
Taoos bolta ho to jangal hara bhee ho

Dukh kee leher nay chheRa hoga
Yaad nay kankar phainka hoga

Aaj to mera dil kehta hai
Tu is waqt akayla hoga

Meray choomay hooay hathoN say
Aoron ko KHat likhta hoga

Bheeg chaleeN ab raat kee palkaiN
Tu ab thak kar soya hoga

Rail kee gehree seetee sun kar
Raat ka jangal goonja hoga

Sheher kay khalee station par
Koi musafir utra hoga

Aangan maiN phir chiRyaaN boleeN
Tu ab so kar utha hoga

YadoN kee jaltee shabnam say
Phool sa mukhRa dhoya hoga

Motee jaisee shakl bana kar
Aeenay ko takta hoga

Shaam hooee ab tu bhee shayad
Apnay ghar ko lauta hoga

Neelee dhundlee khamoshi maiN
Taron kee dhun sunta hoga

Mera saathi shaam ka taaraa
Tujh say aankh milata hoga

Shaam kay chaltay haath nay tujh ko
Mera salaam to bhaija hoga

Pyasee kurlaatee koonjon nay
Mera dukh to sunaya hoga

MaiN to aaj bohot roya hooN
Tu bhee shayad roya hoga

'Nasir' tera meet purana
Tujh ko yaad to ata hoga

Neeyat-e-shauq bhar na jaey kaheeN
Tu bhee dil say utar na jaey kaheeN

Aaj dekha hai tujh ko dair kay baad
Aaj ka din guzar na jaey kaheeN

Na mila ker udaas logoN say
Husn tera bikhar na jaey kaheeN

Aarzoo hai keh tu yahaaN aaey
Aur phir umr bhar na jaey kaheeN

Ji jalaata hooN or yeh sochta hooN
RaeygaaN yeh hunar na jaey kaheeN

Aao kuch dair ro hee laiN 'Nasir'
Phir yeh dariya utar na jaey kaheeN

Mumkin nahiN mata-e-sukhan mujh say chheen lay
Go baGHbaaN yeh kanj-e-chaman mujh say chheen lay

Gar ehtiram-e-rasm-e-vafa hai to ai KHuda
Yeh ehtiraam-e-rasm-e-kohan mujh say chheen lay

Manzar dil-o-nigah kay jab ho gaey udaas
Yeh bay faza ilaqa-e-tan mujh say chheen lay

Gul raiz meree nalah kashtee say hai shaaKH shaaKH
Gul cheeN ka bas chalay to yeh fan mujh say cheen lay

Seenchee haiN dil keh khoon say maiN nay yeh kyariyaN
Kis kee majal mera chaman mujh say chheen lay
