Zindagi Ke Mele Mein

#Nazm

Zindagi ke mele mein khwahishon ke rele mein,
Tum se kya kahein jaanaa is qadar jhamele mein,

Waqt ki rawani hai, bakht ki girani hai,
Sakht be-zameeni hai sakht la-makaani hai,

Hijr ke samandar mein,
Takht aur takhte ki ek hi kahaani hai,
Tum ko jo sunaani hai,

Baat go zara si hai,
Baat umr-bhar ki hai,

Umr-bhar ki baatein kab do-ghadi mein hoti hain,
Dard ke samandar mein,
An-ginat jazeere hain be-shumar moti hain,

Aankh ke dareeche mein tum ne jo sajaya tha,
Baat us diye ki hai,
Baat us gile ki hai,

Jo lahu ki khalwat mein chor ban ke aata hai,
Lafz ki faseelon par toot toot jaata hai,

Zindagi se lambi hai baat ratjage ki hai,
Raaste mein kaise ho,
Baat takhliye ki hai,

Takhliye ki baaton mein guftugu izaafi hai,
Pyar karne waalon ko ek nigaah kaafi hai,

Ho sake to sun jaao ek roz akele mein,
Tum se kya kahein jaanaa is qadar jhamele hain..!!
