کیا کاروان ہستی گزرا روا روی میں — نظم طباطبائی

Kya karwan-e-hasti guzra rawa-rawi mein

Kya karwan-e-hasti guzra rawa-rawi mein
Farda ko main ne dekha gard o ghubar-e-di mein
The mahw-e-lala o gul kis kaif-e-be-khudi mein
Zakhm-e-jigar ke tanke toote hansi hansi mein
Yaran-e-bazm-e-ishrat dhundun kahan main tum ko
Taron ki chhaon mein ya pichhle ki chandni mein
Har uqda mein jahan ke poshida hai kashaakash
Hai mauj-e-khanda-e-gul pinhan kali kali mein
Zakhmon mein khud chamak hai aur is pe ye sitam hai
Rang-e-pareeda se main rehta hoon chandni mein
Hum kis shumar mein the pursish jo hum se hoti
Ye imtiyaz paya ashoob-e-aagahi mein
Hukm-e-qaza ho jaisa sarzad ho fe'l waisa
Banda ka dakhl bhi hai phir is kahi badi mein
Raftaar-e-saya ko hai past o buland yaksaan
Thokar kabhi na khaaye rah-e-furotani mein
Wajd aa gaya falak ko ghash aa gaya zamin ko
Do tarah ke asar the ek saut-e-sarmadi mein
Ta'beer is ki shayad ek wapasin nafas ho
Jo khwab dekhte the hum saari zindagi mein
Laayi habab tak ko sail-e-fana baha kar
Ek aah khinchne ko ek dam ki zindagi mein
Mahshar ki aafton ka dhadka nahin raha ab
Sau hashra main ne dekhe do din ki zindagi mein
Pahlu mein tu ho aye dil phir hasraten hazaron
Kis baat ki kami hai teri salamati mein
Pursan haal wo ho aur samne bula kar
Kya jaaniye zaban se kya nikle be-khudi mein
Tu ek zill-e-hasti phir kaisi khud-parasti
Saya ki parwarish hai daman-e-be-khudi mein
Haail bas ek nafas hai mahshar mein aur hum mein
Parda habab ka hai farda mein aur di mein
Aankhein dikha rahi hai din se mujhe shab-e-gham
Aasar-e-teeragi ke hain din ki raushni mein
Tu ne to apne dar se mujh ko utha diya hai
Parchhaiyan phir rahi hai meri isi gali mein
Sajda ka hukm mujh ko tu ne to ab diya hai
Pehle hi likh chuka hoon main khat-e-bandagi mein
Aye Nazm chhed kar hum tujh ko hue pashiman
Kya jante the zalim ro dega dillagi mein
