Ada Jafarey
akhiri tiis azmane ko
ji to chaha tha muskurane ko
yaad itni bhi sakht-jan to nahin
ik gharaunda raha hai dhane ko
sang-rezo men dhal gae aansu
log hanste rahe dikhane ko
zakhm-e-naghma bhi lau to deta hai
ik diya rah gaya jalane ko
jalne vaale to jal bujhe akhir
kaun deta khabar zamane ko
kitne majbur ho gae honge
an-kahi baat munh pe laane ko
khul ke hansna to sab ko aata hai
log tarse hain ik bahane ko
reza reza bikhar gaya insan
dil ki viraniyan jatane ko
hasraton ki panah-gahon men
kya thikane hain sar chhupane ko
haath kanton se kar liye zakhmi
phuul balon men ik sajane ko
aas ki baat ho ki saans ‘ada’
ye khilaune the tuut jaane ko
