kaalī ainak lagā.e ghūmte rahnā sūraj meñ saḌkoñ par hoTaloñ meñ
theateroñ meñ masjidoñ meñ dukānoñ meñ railway platform par
bhaTiyār galiyoñ meñ shāmil honā bujhe bujhe chehroñ vaalī bhiiḌ meñ tākte rahnā
safed dīvāroñ ko akele lāya.anī hai sab kuchh aur jo dikhā.ī detā hai
vo nahīñ hai phir bhī dikhā.ī detā hai koī farq nahīñ paḌtā paañv haiñ jurābeñ
na hone se life aur Time na paḌhne se yahī kyā kam hai ki sub.h se
shaam tak jam.a karte haiñ lafzoñ ko radio sunte haiñ aur dekhte haiñ mire
hue kabūtar kī aañkh schōl se lauTte hue bachche sharāb kī jhiil meñ tairte
shikāre pachās se kam sher kī ġhazal nahīñ likhte firāq aaj bhī qabā.ilī
kamar se bāñdhe phirte haiñ chāleñ gaz kī shalvār kyā hotā hai naam se
yā sher kahne se yā din-bhar ūñghte rahne se yā kitābeñ sūñghne se
taash khelne kā maza hī aur hai ahamadabād ho yā lahore har jagah hotā hai
sūraj ghar baiThe gañgā hai bhaa.ī congress meñ phuuT paḌe yā saat
hazār insān maar diye jaa.eñ bhūke uThte haiñ har sub.h bistar se kisī ne
dekhe haiñ baiket aur picasso kabaDDī ke maidān meñ yā gambarsong ko
istirī karte hue nickson se le kar murār-jī tak koī bhī rok na sakā
chhīñk aur khāñsī ab āñkheñ khol dījiye hazrat dekhiye puurā
america chhīñk rahā hai khāñs rahā hai idhar dekhiye ye hindostān
bhī chhī.k rahā hai khāñs rahā hai khāñs rahā hai chhī.k rahā hai
kahāñ se shurūa huī hai tārīḳh aur kahāñ jā kar ruknā hai logoñ ko
udaas rahtī haiñ hāmila aurteñ bas aur cinema kī qatār meñ gher rakkhī hai
zamīn bhikāriyoñ ne aur mañgāo charas aur gāñjā phir bhī alag karnā mushkil
hai purānī ko new-delhi se lāshoñ ko dekh kar mahfūz nahīñ hote tum kaise
aadmī ho kahāñ ga.iiñ vo tavā.ifeñ kahāñ ga.e vo qavvāl ma.anī to har lafz
meñ maujūd hai lekin
kali ainak lagae ghumte rahna suraj mein saDkon par hoTalon mein
theateron mein masjidon mein dukanon mein railway platform par
bhaTiyar galiyon mein shamil hona bujhe bujhe chehron wali bhiD mein takte rahna
safed diwaron ko akele layani hai sab kuchh aur jo dikhai deta hai
wo nahin hai phir bhi dikhai deta hai koi farq nahin paDta panw hain juraben
na hone se life aur Time na paDhne se yahi kya kam hai ki subh se
sham tak jama karte hain lafzon ko radio sunte hain aur dekhte hain mere
hue kabutar ki aankh school se lauTte hue bachche sharab ki jhil mein tairte
shikare pachas se kam sher ki ghazal nahin likhte firaq aaj bhi qabaili
kamar se bandhe phirte hain chaalen gaz ki shalwar kya hota hai nam se
ya sher kahne se ya din-bhar unghte rahne se ya kitaben sunghne se
tash khelne ka maza hi aur hai ahamadabaad ho ya lahore har jagah hota hai
suraj ghar baiThe ganga hai bhai congress mein phuT paDe ya sat
hazar insan mar diye jaen bhuke uThte hain har subh bistar se kisi ne
dekhe hain baiket aur picasso kabaDDi ke maidan mein ya gambarsong ko
istiri karte hue nickson se le kar murar-ji tak koi bhi rok na saka
chhink aur khansi ab aankhen khol dijiye hazrat dekhiye pura
america chhink raha hai khans raha hai idhar dekhiye ye hindostan
bhi chhik raha hai khans raha hai khans raha hai chhik raha hai
kahan se shurua hui hai tariKH aur kahan ja kar rukna hai logon ko
udas rahti hain hamila aurten bas aur cinema ki qatar mein gher rakkhi hai
zamin bhikariyon ne aur mangao charas aur ganja phir bhi alag karna mushkil
hai purani ko new-delhi se lashon ko dekh kar mahfuz nahin hote tum kaise
aadmi ho kahan gain wo tawaifen kahan gae wo qawwal mani to har lafz
mein maujud hai lekin
