مسجد — اخترالایمان

Masjid

Dur bargad ki ghani chhaon mein khamosh-o-malool
Jis jagah raat ke tareek kafan ke neeche
Maazi-o-haal gunahgar namazi ki tarah
Apne aamaal pe ro lete hain chupke chupke
Ek veeran si masjid ka shikasta sa kalas
Paas behti hui nadi ko taka karta hai
Aur tooti hui deewar pe chandool kabhi
Geet pheeka sa koi chhed diya karta hai
Gard alood charaghon ko hawa ke jhonke
Roz mitti ki nai teh mein daba jaate hain
Aur jaate hue Sooraj ke wada'i anfaas
Roshni aa ke darichon ki bujha jaate hain
Hasrat-e-sham-o-sahar baith ke gumbad ke qareeb
Un pareshan duaon ko suna karti hai
Jo tarasti hi rahin rang-e-asar ki khatir
Aur toota hua dil thaam liya karti hai
Ya ababeel koi aamad-e-sarma ke qareeb
Is ko maskan ke liye dhoond liya karti hai
Aur mehrab-e-shikasta mein simat kar pahron
Dastaan sard mumalik ki kaha karti hai
Ek boodha gadha deewar ke saaye mein kabhi
Oongh leta hai zara baith ke jaate jaate
Ya musafir koi aa jata hai wo bhi dar kar
Ek lamhe ko thehar jata hai aate aate
Farsh jaaroob-kashi kya hai samajhta hi nahin
Kaal-adam ho gaya tasbeeh ke danon ka nizaam
Taaq mein shama ke aansoo hain abhi tak baqi
Ab musalla hai na mimbar na muazzin na imam
Aa chuke sahib-e-aflaak ke paigham-o-salaam
Koh-o-dar ab na sunein ge wo sada-e-jibrael
Ab kisi kaaba ki shayad na pade gi bunyad
Kho gai dasht-e-faramoshi mein awaaz-e-khaleel
Chand pheeki si hansi hans ke guzar jata hai
Daal dete hain sitare dhuli chadar apni
Is nigaar-e-dil-e-yazdaan ke janaze pe bas ek
Chashm-e-nam karti hai shabnam yahan aksar apni
Ek maila sa akela sa fasurda sa diya
Roz ra'asha zada hathon se kaha karta hai
Tum jalaate ho kabhi aa ke bujhaate bhi nahin
Ek jalta hai magar ek bujha karta hai
Tez nadi ki har ek mauj-e-talaatum-bardosh
Cheekh uthti hai wahin dur se faani faani
Kal baha loongi tujhe tod ke saahil ki quyood
Aur phir gumbad-o-minar bhi paani paani
