Fakhira Batool

Zindagi khawab-e-pareshaan se zeyada to nahin,
Is main tabeer bhi mil jaye yeh waada to nahin,

Baat be’baat ulajhney ki yeh huu kesi hai,
Yeh bataa tera bicharrney ka iraada to nahin,

Kon khushbuu ke peechey geya door talak,
Log saada hain magar itney bhi saada to nahin,

Kis khushi se mujhe bheja hai bata surkh gulaab,
Zulm ka yeh teri jaanib se iraada to nahin,

Bewafa hum hi sahi, khud pe bhi kuch ghaur karo,
Be’rukhi aap ki bhi hadh se zeyadaa to nahin..

Socha hota khawb dikhaney se pehle,
Aur kisi ko apna bananey se pehle,

Kuch pal us ko neend mein ghaur se dekho to,
Dheerey dheerey us ko jaganey se pehle,

Soch lo is mein koi qeemti shey hi na ho,
Dil ke sheher ko aag laganey se pehle,

Dekha, to sab tan man raakh ka dhair hua,
Apne dono hath bachaney se pehle,

Socha, rab se us ko maang ke dekhoon to,
Sar sajdey se aaj uthaney se pehle,

Ab pachtaney se bhi kya haasil ho ga,
Socha hota aankh milaney se pehle,

Aao aakhri baar karain hum yaad usey,
Sach much us ko aaj bhulaney se pehle..

Bhool janey ka to bas ik bahana hoga,
Ke har taur usey yaad to aana hoga,

Koi mausam ho, mehekta rahe, shadaab rahe,
Apni aankhon ko kanwal aesa banana hoga,

Band muthi se jo urr jati hai qismat ki pari,
Iss hatheli main koi chaid* purana hoga,

Aabley* paaon ke mehkain to magar dard na dain,
Dasht mein raat ke daron ko yeh batana hoga,

Zaawiye* us ki nigahon ke barey qaatil hain,
Samne us ke bohat soch ke jana hoga,

Ghaoo* kitna bhi puraana ho, beher’haal usey,
Kachey mausam ki shararat se bachana hoga,

Hath likhne pe mussar, khauf zamaney ka Batool,
Pairr* pe naam koi likh ke mitaana hoga..

Meri chahat ka sar-e-aam* to charcha na karo,
Kam to pehle bhi nahin aur to ruswaa na karo,

Kabhi jugnu, kabhi taarey, kabhi nargis keh kar,
Tum meri aankhon ko is tarah chairra na karo,

Bhaamp* jaye na kahin dil ki lagi yeh dunyaa,
Yu’n shafaq ban ke mere chehre pe thehra na karo,

Baat choti si bhi afsaana bana deti hai,
Tum kitaabon pe mere naam ko likha na karo,

Hai ibaadat ki tarah naam tumhara bhi mujhe,
Tum saheefey ki tarah tum mujhe socha na karo,

Dil ko bechain sa karti hain tumhari aankhain,
Raat ko der talak tum mujhe socha na karo,

Saamney sab ke kare kis tarah iqraar Batool,
Yu’n sar-e-bazm* to is se yeh taqaaza na karo..
