Urdu Poetry

Woh bulaayen toh kya tamaasha ho, hum na jaayen toh kya tamaasha ho. Ye kinaaron se khelne waale, doob jaayen toh kya tamaasha ho. Banda-parwar jo hum pe guzri hai, hum btaayen toh kya tamaasha ho. Aaj hum bhi teri wafaaon par, muskuraayen toh kya tamaasha ho. Teri soorat jo ittefaaq se hum, bhool jaayen toh kya tamaasha ho. Waqt ki chand saa.aten ‘saghar laut aayen toh kya tamaasha ho. !!

Poochha kisi ne haal kisi ka toh ro diye, paani mein aqs chaand ka dekha toh ro diye. Naghma kisi ne saaz pe chheda toh ro diye, ghuncha kisi ne shaakh se toda toh ro diye. Udta hua ghubaar sar-e-raah dekh kar, anjaam hum ne ishq ka socha toh ro diye. Baadal fiza mein aap ki tasweer ban gaye, saaya koi khyaal se guzra toh ro diye. Rang-e-shafaq se aag shagufon mein lag gayi, saghar’ humare haath se chhalka toh ro diye. !!

Yeh jo deewanay se do chaar nazar aate hain In mein kuchh saahab E israar nazar aate hain Teri mehfil ka bharam rakhte hain so jate hain Warnaa yeh log to bedaar nazar aate hain Door tak koi sitaaraa hai na koi jugnoo Marg E ummeed ke aasaar nazar aate hain Mere daaman mein shararoN k siwa kuchh bhi nahi Aap phooloN ke khareedaar nazar aate hain Kal jinhein chhu nahi sakti thi farishtoN ki nazar Aaj woh raunaq E baazaar nazar aate hain Hashr mein kaun gawaahi meri dega ‘Saghar’ Sab tumhaare hi tarafdaar nazar aate hain

Sab qareenay, usi dildaar ke, rakh dete haiN Hum ghazal men bhi hunar yaar ke rakh dete haiN Shayad ajayeN kabhi chashm e khariidar men hum Jan O dil biich mein bazaar ke rakh dete haiN Zikr e janaN mein yeh duniya ko kahaN le aaye Log kyuN mas’alay bekaar ke rakh dete haiN Zindagii teri amaanat hai magar kya kijiye Log yeh bojh bhi thak haar ke rakh dete haiN Hum to chahat men bhi ghalib ke muqallid hain ‘Faraz’ Jis pe marte haiN use maar ke rakh dete haiN 

Wo dushman-E-jaN, jaan se pyaara bhi kabhi tha Ab kis se kahaiN, koii humaara bhi kabhi tha Utra hai rag-O-pai mein to dil kaT sa gaya hai Yeh zehr-E-judaai K gawaara bhi kabhi tha Har dost jahaN abr-E-gurezaaN ki tarah hai Ye shehar kabhi shehr humaara bhi kabhi tha Titli ke ta’aaqub mein koi phool sa bachcha Aisaa hi koi khaab humaara bhi kabhi tha Ab agle zamaane ke milen log toh puchheiN Jo haal humara hai tumhaara bhi kabhi tha? Har bazm mein hum ne usay afsurda hi dekha kahte hain ‘Faraz’ anjuman-aara bhi kabhi tha
