Apne Ehsas Se Bahar Nahin Hone Deta

Jafar Shirazi

apne ehsas se bahar nahin hone deta

raaz zahir bhi ye mujh par nahin hone deta

ḳhauf-e-rusva.i se kar deta hai hairan aisa

meri ankhon ko samundar nahin hone deta

mom kar deta hai jab lauT ke aa jaata hai

mujh ko furqat men vo patthar nahin hone deta

dekhta huun to kabhi chand kabhi phuul hai vo

apni surat mujhe azbar nahin hone deta

ji men hai uḌ ke chala ja.un jahan rahta hai

vo mira ghar bhi mira ghar nahin hone deta

jab bhi milta hai to bas TuuT ke milta hai mujhe

apne gham ka mujhe ḳhugar nahin hone deta

ruuTh bhi jaate hain ‘ja.afar’ to mana lene men

mujh ko apne se vo behtar nahin hone deta
