Chalne Ka Hunar Kab Aata Hai Jab Tak Koi Thokar Khao Nahin

Akhtar Azad

chalne ka hunar kab aata hai jab tak koi Thokar khaao nahin

halat badalte rahte hain halat se tum ghabrao nahin

sapnon ke rain-basere men sadiyon se baḌa sannaTa hai

ankhon men niind sulagti hai ab ḳhvab koi dikhlao nahin

ye baazi pyaar ki baazi hai yahan sab kuchh daanv pe lagta hai

jiito to kabhi itrao nahin haaro to kabhi pachhtao nahin

bojhal palken suune raste viran haveli sannaTa

ab koi nahin aane vaala chaukhaT pe charagh jalao nahin

Thokar se kabhi ḳhud apne hi talve zaḳhmi ho jaate hain

patthar to TuuT bhi sakte hain shishe se magar Takrao nahin

ḳhud apni tabahi par hansna har shaḳhs ke bas ki baat nahin

divana hai jo hans leta hai divane ko samjhao nahin

gagar ke sagar men aksar duuba hai ghurur pahaḌon ka

tum apne dil par rahm karo panghaT pe akele jaao nahin

ye rishte-nate dharm-karm pe pap-punnya ham kya janen

ham aisi dagar ke jogi hain logo ham ko bahkao nahin

hamdardi kaun jataega duniya ko to hansna aata hai

is TuuTe hue dil ka qissa duniya valon ko sunao nahin
