آیا نہیں ہے راہ پہ چرخ کہن ابھی — احسان دانش

Aaya nahin hai raah pe charkh-e-kuhan abhi

Aaya nahin hai raah pe charkh-e-kuhan abhi
Khatre mein dekhta hoon chaman ka chaman abhi
Utthenge apni bazm se Mansoor sainkdon
Kaam ahl-e-haq ke aayenge daar o rasan abhi
Ranj o mihan nigah jo pheren to pher len
Lekin mujhe azeez hain ranj o mihan abhi
Badhne do aur shauq-e-shahadat awaam mein
Kuchh baanjh to nahin hai ye khaak-e-watan abhi
Aankhon ki surkhiyan hain azaym ka ishtehar
Seene sulag rahe hain lagi hai lagan abhi
Ye carvaan shanawar-e-toofan to hai magar
Chehron pe bolti hai safar ki thakan abhi
Hain saamne hamare riwayaat-e-karzar
Baandhe hue hain sar se mujahid kafan abhi
Ban ban ke jaane kitne fana honge Somnath
Baste hain har gali mein yahan but-shikan abhi
Ae shahriyar hum se shikasta dilon mein aa
Teri taraf se khalq ko hai husn-e-zann abhi
Raqsaan abhi hain sham-e-ghariban ki jhalakiyan
Roshan nahin hai khanda-e-subh-e-watan abhi
Jeete rahen ummeed pe rindan-e-tishna-kaam
Chalta nahin hai daur-e-sharab-e-kuhan abhi
Jin ke lahu se qasr-e-wafa mein jale charagh
Un ghamzadon mein aam hain ranj o mihan abhi
Gulshan se phool chal ke mazaron tak aa gaye
Lekin hai baghbaan ki jabeen par shikan abhi
Hai ilm ki nigah se pinhan rah-e-amal
Kehte nahin kafan ko yahan pairahan abhi
Nabz-e-bahar par hain bagoolon ki ungliyan
Chalne ko chal rahi hai naseem-e-chaman abhi
Shabnam ke ashk sookhne deti nahin fiza
Hansta hai khud bahar-e-chaman par chaman abhi
Har gaam har maqam pe koshish ke bawajood
Danish na aa saka mujhe jeene ka fan abhi
