meraa safar


phir ek din aisaa aayegaa
aa.Nkho.n ke diye bujh jaaye.nge
haatho.n ke ka.Nval kumhalaaye.nge

aur barg-e-zabaa.N se nataq-va-sadaa
kii har titalii u.D jaayegii

ik kaale samandar kii tah me.n
kaliyo.n kii tarah se khilatii hu_ii
phuulo.n kii tarah se ha.Nsatii hu_ii
saarii shakle.n kho jaaye.ngii

Khuun kii gardish dil kii dha.Dakan
sab rangiiniyaa.N so jaaye.ngii

aur niilii fazaa kii maKhmal par
ha.Nsatii hu_ii hiire kii ye kaanii
ye merii jannat merii zamii.n
is kii subahe.n is kii shaame.n
bejaane hue besamajhe hue
ik musht Gubaar-e-insaa.N par
shabanam kii ro jaaye.ngii

har chiiz bhulaa dii jaayegii
yaado.n ke hasii.n but_Khaane se
har chiiz uThaa dii jaayegii
phir ko_ii nahii.n ye puuchhegaa
'sardar' kahaa.N hai mahafil me.n

lekin mai.n yahaa.N phir aa_uu.Ngaa
bachcho.n ke dahan se boluu.Ngaa
chi.Diyo.n kii zabaa.N se gaa_uu.Ngaa

jab biij ha.Nse.nge dharatii me.n
aur ko.npale.n apanii u.Ngalii se
miTTii kii taho.n ko chhe.De.ngii
mai.n pattii pattii kalii kalii 
apanii aa.Nkhe.n phir kholuu.Ngaa
sar sabz hathelii par lekar
shabanam ke qatre tuluu.Ngaa

mai.n rang-e-henaa aahang-e-Gazal
andaaz-e-suKhan ban jaa_uu.Ngaa
ruKhsaar-e-uruus-e-nau kii tarah
har aa.Nchal se chhan jaa_uu.Ngaa

jaa.Do.n kii havaaye.n daaman me.n
jab fasal-e-Khazaa.N ko laaye.ngii
rahruu ke javaa.N qadamo.n ke tale
suukhe hue patto.n se mere
ha.Nsane kii sadaaye.n aaye.ngii

dharatii kii sunaharii sab nadiyaa.N
aakaash kii niilii sab jhiile.n
hastii se merii bhar jaaye.ngii

aur saaraa zamaanaa dekhegaa
har qissaa meraa afsaanaa hai
har aashiq hai saradaar yahaa.N
har maashuuqaa sultaanaa hai

mai.n ek gurezaa.N lamhaa huu.N
ayyaam ke afsuu.N_khaane me.n
mai.n ek ta.Dapataa qatraa huu.N
masaruuf-e-safar jo rahataa hai
maazii kii suraahii ke dil se
mustaqbil ke paimaane me.n

mai.n sotaa huu.N aur jaagataa huu.N
aur jaag ke phir so jaataa huu.N
sadiyo.n kaa puraanaa khel huu.N mai.n
mai.n mar ke amar ho jaataa huu.N
