naya adab
haañ to maiñ aap se kahtā thā janāb
zindagī jabr kī pāband nahīñ rah saktī
aur naddī usī dhāre pe nahīñ bah saktī
jis meñ maazī kī chitāoñ ke sivā
jis meñ marghaT kī havāoñ ke sivā
aur to kuchh bhī nahīñ kuchh bhī nahīñ hai shāyad
aap be-kār mirī baat pe jhunjhlāte haiñ
kaun kahtā hai ki maazī ko burā kahtā huuñ
maiñ kahūñ ye kisī dushman ne uḌaa.ī hogī
maiñ to kahtā huuñ ki tārīḳh ke siine se sharāre le kar
apnī duniyā ke ḳhas-o-ḳhār jalā hī dūñgā
zindagī ke sabhī aqdār samajh letā huuñ
'mīr' aur 'dard' ke ash.ār samajh letā huuñ
maiñ ne us sham.a kī lo aur baḌhā hī dī hai
apne māhaul meñ ġhālib ne jalāyā thā jise
maiñ to iqbāl kī azmat kī qasam khātā huuñ
aap be-kār mirī baat pe jhunjhlāte haiñ
baat itnī hai ki maiñ un kī hī buniyādoñ par
ik na.e ahd kī taqdīr banāne ke liye
ik na.e vaqt kī tasvīr banāne ke liye
kuchh na.e saaz bajā letā huuñ
maiñ pujārī huuñ mohabbat ke usūloñ kā magar
ishqīya sher mujhe yaad nahīñ
jin meñ seThoñ ko navāboñ ko mazā aatā hai
jin ko pāzeb kī jhankār nigal jaatī hai
mujh ko masnūī mohabbat nahīñ bhātī lekin
maiñ ne insān kī pastī kā nishāñ dekh liyā
kār-ḳhānoñ kā dhuāñ dekh liyā
saikḌoñ saa.e bhaTakte hue larzāñ tarsāñ
baal uljhe hue māthe pe lakīreñ raqsāñ
apne kāñdhe pe uThā.e hue tārīḳh kā bojh
apne hāthoñ se chalāte hue tahzīb kī naav
bhuuk se paañv to uThte nahīñ par uThte haiñ
aur mālik kī tijorī hai bharī jaatī hai
ek mālik ke hazāroñ haiñ ġhulām
jis tarah saikḌoñ bandoñ kā faqat ek ḳhudā
aur usī ek hī mālik kā vajūd
aur usī ek ḳhudā kā paikar
haañ to maiñ aap se kahtā thā janāb
lījiye aap to muñh phir chuke so bhī ga.e
han to main aap se kahta tha janab
zindagi jabr ki paband nahin rah sakti
aur naddi usi dhaare pe nahin bah sakti
jis mein mazi ki chitaon ke siwa
jis mein marghaT ki hawaon ke siwa
aur to kuchh bhi nahin kuchh bhi nahin hai shayad
aap be-kar meri baat pe jhunjhlate hain
kaun kahta hai ki mazi ko bura kahta hun
main kahun ye kisi dushman ne uDai hogi
main to kahta hun ki tariKH ke sine se sharare le kar
apni duniya ke KHas-o-KHar jala hi dunga
zindagi ke sabhi aqdar samajh leta hun
'mir' aur 'dard' ke ashaar samajh leta hun
main ne us shama ki lo aur baDha hi di hai
apne mahaul mein ghaalib ne jalaya tha jise
main to iqbaal ki azmat ki qasam khata hun
aap be-kar meri baat pe jhunjhlate hain
baat itni hai ki main un ki hi buniyaadon par
ek nae ahd ki taqdir banane ke liye
ek nae waqt ki taswir banane ke liye
kuchh nae saz baja leta hun
main pujari hun mohabbat ke usulon ka magar
ishqiya sher mujhe yaad nahin
jin mein seThon ko nawabon ko maza aata hai
jin ko pazeb ki jhankar nigal jati hai
mujh ko masnui mohabbat nahin bhati lekin
main ne insan ki pasti ka nishan dekh liya
kar-KHanon ka dhuan dekh liya
saikDon sae bhaTakte hue larzan tarsan
baal uljhe hue mathe pe lakiren raqsan
apne kandhe pe uThae hue tariKH ka bojh
apne hathon se chalate hue tahzib ki naw
bhuk se panw to uThte nahin par uThte hain
aur malik ki tijori hai bhari jati hai
ek malik ke hazaron hain ghulam
jis tarah saikDon bandon ka faqat ek KHuda
aur usi ek hi malik ka wajud
aur usi ek KHuda ka paikar
han to main aap se kahta tha janab
lijiye aap to munh phir chuke so bhi gae
