MORE BYAkash Arsh

    farq kuchh bhī nahīñ

    chāhe kisī bhī samt chalūñ

    shahr dasht ghanā aur ghanā hotā hai

    nīm-tārīk galī

    jis meñ lagā ik khambā

    zardī-e-ḳhās se rangtā hai galī ke kankar

    jhuk gayā hai jo kisī pīr-e-ḳhamīda tarah

    dam-ba-dam jal ke bujhā

    bujh ke jalā

    kyā kahiye

    bas yahī shai hai jise shahr jugnū kah duuñ

    sochtā huuñ maiñ kabhī yuuñ bhī ki is duniyā meñ

    be-ma.ānī hai

    mirā vajd meñ aa jaanā bhī

    be-ma.ānī hai

    ma.ānī tavaqqo' karnā

    ek jangal hai ki jis meñ mire aa jaane se

    farq kuchh bhī nahīñ

    chāhe koī bhī raah chunūñ

    ye jagah bhuul bhulaiyā hai

    magar rastoñ se

    maiñ bhī mānūs huuñ

    duniyā bhī hai

    sab log bhī haiñ

    aur ik lamhā-e-be-sūd ko jiine ke liye

    sabhī koshāñ haiñ

    sabhī rahe haiñ jiine ko

    aur maiñ bhiiḌ meñ tanhā huuñ

    Thagā

    phir bhī

    aaj maiñ bhī huuñ isī bhiiḌ hissa bhar

    bas

    maiñ savāloñ se aqīdoñ pe luḌhak aaya huuñ

    dhuñdh hai zehn meñ

    pastī mujassam hai badan

    koī āvāz-e-nihāñ

    mujh se dobārā na kahe

    jaag kar bhī na uThe bistar-e-duniyā se kyoñ

    tum ma.ānī ke musāfir the

    musāfir to the

    farq kuchh bhi nahin

    chahe kisi bhi samt chalun

    shahr ka dasht ghana aur ghana hota hai

    nim-tarik gali

    jis mein laga ek khamba

    zardi-e-KHas se rangta hai gali ke kankar

    jhuk gaya hai jo kisi pir-e-KHamida ki tarah

    dam-ba-dam jal ke bujha

    bujh ke jala

    kya kahiye

    bas yahi shai hai jise shahr ka jugnu kah dun

    sochta hun main kabhi yun bhi ki is duniya mein

    be-maani hai

    mera wajd mein aa jaana bhi

    be-maani hai

    maani ki tawaqqo' karna

    ek jangal hai ki jis mein mere aa jaane se

    farq kuchh bhi nahin

    chahe koi bhi rah chunun

    ye jagah bhul bhulaiya hai

    magar raston se

    main bhi manus hun

    duniya bhi hai

    sab log bhi hain

    aur ek lamha-e-be-sud ko jine ke liye

    sabhi koshan hain

    sabhi ji rahe hain jine ko

    aur main bhiD mein tanha hun

    Thaga sa

    phir bhi

    aaj main bhi hun isi bhiD ka hissa bhar

    bas

    main sawalon se aqidon pe luDhak aaya hun

    dhundh hai zehn mein

    pasti ka mujassam hai badan

    koi aawaz-e-nihan

    mujh se dobara na kahe

    jag kar bhi na uThe bistar-e-duniya se kyon

    tum maani ke musafir the

    musafir hi to the
