Anwar Masood

Raat aayi hai balaaon se rihaayi de gi,
Ab na deewaar na zanjeer dikhaayi de gi,

Yeh dhundhlaka sa jo hai is ko ghaneemat samjho,
Dekhna phir koi suurat na sujhaayi de gi,

Dil jo tootay ga to ik-tarfa tamaasha ho ga,
Kitne aayinon main woh shakal dikhayi de gi,

Sath ke ghar main bara shor barpaa hai Anwar,
Koi aaye ga to dasstak na sunaayi de gi..

Hai aap ke honton pe muskaan waghera,
Qurbaan gaye is pe dil o jaan waghera,

Bili to yunhi muft main badnaam huyi hai,
Thailay main to kuch aur tha samaan waghera,

Be-hirss o gharazz farzz adaa kijiye apna,
Jis tarah police karti hai chalaan waghera,

Ab hosh nahin koi ke badaam kahan hai,
Ab apni hatheli pe hain dandaan wagera,

Kis naaz se woh nazam ko keh dete hain nassri,
Jab us ke khataa hotay hain ausaan waghera,

Har shirt ki bushart banaa daali hai anwar,
Yuun chaak kiya hum ne girebaan waghera..

Hai aap ke honton pe jo muskaan wagera,
Qurbaan gaye is pe dil-o-jaan wagera,

Billi to yunhi muft main badnaam huyi,
Thailay mein to kuch aur tha samaan wagera,

Be’hirss o gharzz farzz adaa ki jiye apna,
Jis tarah police karti hai chalaan wagera,

Ab hosh nahin koi ke badaam kahan hai,
Ab apni hatheli pe hain dandaan* wagera,

Har shirt ki bushratt bana dali hai Anwar,
Yun chaak kiya hum ne garebaan* wagera..

Shair logon ke bohat yaad hain auron ke liye,
Tu milay to main tujhe shair sunaaon apne..

Main apne ghar geya tha woh jab apne ghar gayi,
Phir mujh ko kya khabar ke wahan se kidhar gayi..

Mard Honi Chahiye, Khatoon Hona Chahiye,
Ab Grammer Ka Yehi Kanoon Hona Chahiye,

Nursery Ka Daakhla Bhi Ab Sar’sari Mat Janiye,
Aap Ke Bache Ko Aflaatoon Hona Chahiye,

Raat Ko Bache Parhayi Ki Aziyat Se Bache,
In Ko TV Ka Bohat Mamnoon Hona Chahiye,

Doston English Zaroori Hai Hamare Wastey,
Fail Honey Ko Bhi Koi Mazmoon Hona Chahiye,

Sirf Mehnat Kya Hai Anwar Kamyaabi Ke Liye,
Koi Ooper Se Bhi Telephone Hona Chahiye..

Tujhe Mujhse Mujko Tujse Jo Bohat Hi Pyar Hota,
Na Tujhe Qaraar Hota Na Mujhe Qaraar Hota,

Tera Har Marz Ulajhta Meri Jaan-e-natwaan Se,
Jo Tujhe Zukaam Hota Tou Mujhe Bukhaar Hota,

Jo Mein Tujko Yad Karta Tujhe Cheenkna Bhi Parta,
Mere Sath Bhi Yakeenan Yehi Bar Bar Hota,

Kisi Chowk Mein Lagate Koi Chooriyon Ka Khokha,
Tere Sheher Mein Bhi Apna Koi Karobaar Hota,

Gham-o-ranj Aashiqana Nahin, Calculator’aana,
Isey Mein Shumaar Karta Jo To Be’shumaar Hota,

Wahan Zer-e-behess Atey Khat-o-haal O Huye-hubaan,
Gham-e-ishq Per Jo Anwar Koi Seminar Hota..

sun to sahii jahaan main hai teraa fasaanaa kyaa
kahti hai tujh se Khalq-e-Khudaa Gaibanaa kya

zina saba kaa Dhundati hai apni musht-e-Khaak
baam-e-baland yaar ka hai astana kya

ati hai kis tarah se meri kabz-e-ruuh ko
dekhun to maut dhund rahe hai bahana kya

betab hai kamal hamara dil-e-aziim
mahmaan saray-e-jism ka hoga ravana kya
