کیوں کسی رہ رو سے پوچھوں اپنی منزل کا پتا — آرزو لکھنوی

Kyun kisi rah-rau se poochhun apni manzil ka pata

Kyun kisi rah-rau se poochhun apni manzil ka pata
Mauj-e-darya khud laga leti hai sahil ka pata
Hai nishan-e-Laila maqsood-e-mehmil ka pata
Dilruba haath aa gaya paya jahan dil ka pata
Rah-e-ulfat mein samajh lo dil ko goonga rahnuma
Saath hai aur de nahin sakta hai manzil ka pata
Kahta hai naaseh ke wapas jao aur main sada-lauh
Poochhta hoon khud isi se koo-e-qaatil ka pata
Rahbar rahzan na ban jaaye kahin is soch mein
Chup khaDa hoon bhool kar raste mein manzil ka pata
Aayi ek aawaz-e-teer aur nikli dil se uff
Phir na qaatil ka nishan paya na bismil ka pata
Baanki chitwan wale mahshar mein hazaron hain to hon
Mil hi jayega kisi soorat se qaatil ka pata
Is jagah bismil ne dam toRa jahan ki khaak thi
Yun lagate hain lagane wale manzil ka pata
Poochhne wale ne ye poocha ke kyun bedil ho kyun
Aur mujh ko mil gaya khoye hue dil ka pata
Maujein Takraein huin dushman bhi niklein dost bhi
Peechhe kashti ko dhakela de ke sahil ka pata
Rah gaya hai TooT kar zakhm-e-jigar mein teer-e-naaz
Ab laga lena nahin dushwar qaatil ka pata
Sokhta parwane kushta-e-shama farsh-e-dagh-dar
De rahe hain raat ki garmi-e-mahfil ka pata
Main wafa-kesh Aarzoo aur woh wafa na-ashna
PaR gaya mushkil mein pa kar apni mushkil ka pata
