Chopin Ka Naghma Bajta Hai

Faiz Ahmad Faiz

chhalni hai andhere ka sina, barkha ke bhale barse hain

divaron ke aansu hain ravan ghar khamoshi men duube hain

paani men nahae hain buute

galiyon men hu ka phera hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai

ik gham-gin ladki ke chehre par chand ki zardi chhai hai

jo barf giri thi is pe lahu ke chhinton ki rushnai hai

khuun ka har daagh damakta hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai

kuchh azadi ke matvale, jaan kaf pe liye maidan men gae

har-su dushman ka nargha thaa, kuchh bach nikle, kuchh khet rahe

aalam men un ka shohra hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai

ik kuunj ko sakhiyan chhod gaiin akash ki niili rahon men

vo yaad men tanha roti thii, liptae apni bahon men

ik shahin us par jhapta hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai

gham ne sanche men dhala hai

ik baap ke patthar chehre ko

murda bete ke mathe ko

ik maan ne ro kar chuma hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai

phir phulon ki rut laut aai

aur chahne valon ki gardan men jhule daale bahon ne

phir jharne nache chhan chhan chhan

ab badal hai na barkha hai

‘chopin’ ka naghma bajta hai
