baja ki dushman-e-jaan shahr-e-jaan ke bahar hai
Akhtar Hoshiyarpuri
MORE BYAkhtar Hoshiyarpuri
bajā ki dushman-e-jāñ shahr-e-jāñ ke bāhar hai
magar maiñ us ko kahūñ kyā jo ghar ke andar hai
tamām naqsh parindoñ kī tarah utre haiñ
ki kāġhazoñ pe khile pāniyoñ kā manzar hai
maiñ ek shaḳhs jo kumboñ meñ rah gayā baT kar
maiñ musht-e-ḳhāk jo taqsīm ho ke be-ghar hai
shajar kaTā to koī ghoñsla kahīñ na rahā
magar ik uḌtā parinda fazā kā zevar hai
vo ḳhauf hai ki makīñ apne apne kamroñ meñ haiñ
vo haal hai ki bayābāñ meñ vus.at-e-dar hai
kahīñ bhī peḌ nahīñ phir bhī patthar aa.e haiñ
galī meñ koī nahīñ phir bhī shor-e-mahshar hai
maiñ is vasī.a jazīre meñ vāhid insāñ huuñ
ki mere chāroñ taraf dasht kā samundar hai
koī bhī ḳhvāb na ūñchī fasīl se utrā
magar kiran ke guzarne ko rauzan-e-dar hai
tamām raushaniyāñ bujh ga.ī haiñ bastī meñ
magar vo diip ki jis kā havāoñ meñ ghar hai
kisī se mujh ko gila kyā ki kuchh kahūñ 'aḳhtar'
ki merī zaat hī ḳhud rāste kā patthar hai
baja ki dushman-e-jaan shahr-e-jaan ke bahar hai
magar main us ko kahun kya jo ghar ke andar hai
tamam naqsh parindon ki tarah utre hain
ki kaghazon pe khile paniyon ka manzar hai
main ek shaKHs jo kumbon mein rah gaya baT kar
main musht-e-KHak jo taqsim ho ke be-ghar hai
shajar kaTa to koi ghonsla kahin na raha
magar ek uDta parinda faza ka zewar hai
wo KHauf hai ki makin apne apne kamron mein hain
wo haal hai ki bayaban mein wusat-e-dar hai
kahin bhi peD nahin phir bhi patthar aae hain
gali mein koi nahin phir bhi shor-e-mahshar hai
main is wasia jazire mein wahid insan hun
ki mere chaaron taraf dasht ka samundar hai
koi bhi KHwab na unchi fasil se utra
magar kiran ke guzarne ko rauzan-e-dar hai
tamam raushaniyan bujh gai hain basti mein
magar wo dip ki jis ka hawaon mein ghar hai
kisi se mujh ko gila kya ki kuchh kahun 'aKHtar'
ki meri zat hi KHud raste ka patthar hai
