حیات اک سلسلہ ہے آشفتہ جانیوں کا — کرشن موہن

Hayat ek silsila hai aashufta jaaniyon ka

Hayat ek silsila hai aashufta jaaniyon ka
Mila mujhe khoob yeh sila jaan-fashaniyon ka
Faraib-deh hai junoon baqa ki nishaniyon ka
Yeh alam-e-aab-o-gil hai ijlas-e-faaniyon ka
Nigah afroz kaif-andoz o aish-amoz
Hai ek sail-e-nishat uthti jawaniyon ka
Junoon shayar shaoor-e-alam riyaz abid
Hai sab ko andaaz apni apni rawaniyon ka
Bashar ke dil mein falak ki neelahaton ki aahat
Zameen ki halchal fasoon samundar ke paaniyon ka
Mujhe yeh dar hai kahin na ho shahar shahar charcha
Teri jafa ki meri wafa ki kahaniyon ka
Yeh aadmi aadmi ke beech oonch neech ya Rab
Bana hai yeh tafraqa tamasha jahaniyon ka
Visal mein hum the itne madhosh jaante kya
Ke soz-e-hirman hai mahasal shaadmaaniyon ka
Hayat aur maut hain teri dilbari ke ghamze
Tamasha-gah hai jahan teri dilstaniyon ka
Yeh garam aansu yeh sard aahen hazeen nigahen
Khayal rakhna meri wafa ki nishaniyon ka
Woh kaise mere dil shikasta ka dard jaanen
Hujoom hai jin ki zindagi kamraniyon ka
Kahan hai chahat ki dilkash o dilnawaz ranjish
Hai tazkira har jagah teri meherbaniyon ka
Udaas hairan shabab mera hadaf raha hai
Tumhari raaton ki dilshikan sargiraaniyon ka
Woh shor utha la-shaoor ki nanhi bastiyon mein
Ghuroor toota shaoor ki rajdhaniyon ka
Panah deti hai paap ko kyon vishal dharti
Vichar aisa samajh ka hai pher gyaniyon ka
Yeh kaisi bipata padi hai sansar par ke ae dil
Na dheer qayam na dhyan baaqi hai dhyaniyon ka
Main is pe shaida hua hoon muddat se Krishna Mohan
Jo dil mein ras gholta hai shireen bayaniyon ka
Jadeed raahon ka shokh raahi hai Krishna Mohan
Woh hamnawa hai naye tamaddun ke baniyon ka
