موت مانگوں تو رہے آرزو خواب مجھے — حیدر علی آتش

Maut maangoon to rahe aarzoo-e khwab mujhe

Maut maangoon to rahe aarzoo-e khwab mujhe
Doobne jaaun to darya mile payab mujhe
Meri eza ke liye murde mein jaan aati hai
Kaatne dauDti hai mahi-e be-aab mujhe
Dahan-e gurg se jeeta jo bachoon sahra mein
Zabh karne ke liye mol le qassab mujhe
Hoon tasavvur mein safai-e badan-e yaar ke gharq
Halqa-e naaf hua halqa-e girdab mujhe
Mardum-e deeda-e qurbani hoon main deevana
Aaye darwaza khule ban na kabhi khwab mujhe
Aye falak rehne de uriyan hi pas az marg bhi tu
Saunpta kya hai kafan-e duzd ka asbab mujhe
Nahin rakhte hain ameeri ki havas mard-e faqeer
Sher ki khaal hi hai qaqam o sanjab mujhe
Josh se ashkon ke phir jaayega sar par pani
Kheencho le jaayega darya mein yeh sailab mujhe
Dair o Ka'aba mein in aankhon se nahin halqa-dar
Koi abroo se dikhata nahin mehrab mujhe
Furqat-e yaar mein karti hai qayamat barpa
Roz-e mahshar se nahin kam shab-e mahtab mujhe
Maraz-e ishq se bach jaaun jo tum dilwa do
Sadqa apne lab-e jaan-bakhsh ka inab mujhe
Chain lene na diya dard-e judai ne kabhi
Kab main soya ke jagaya nahin bad-khwab mujhe
Nahin bhoola hai junoon mein woh hawas uD jaana
Yaad hai barhami-e sohbat-e ahbab mujhe
Naam ko mere bhi ahbab mein apne likhe
Zarra samjha rahe woh mehr-e jahan-taab mujhe
Dil ghani chahiye go hoon main faqeer aye Atishؔ
Sher ki khaal hi hai qaqam o sanjab mujhe
