Donon Taraf Hi Barson Ye Silsile Rahe The

Mustafa Rahi

donon taraf hi barson ye silsile rahe the

kuchh vo the bad-guman se kuchh ham khinche rahe the

jin ko mire junun se kuchh vasta nahin tha

muḌ muḌ ke meri janib kyuun dekhte rahe the

tujh par ḳhuda ki rahmat ai dil hai ye haqiqat

jab tak na tha tira gham ham chain se rahe the

vo gulshan-e-mohabbat taraj ho gaya kya

kal tak jo ḳhun-e-dil se ham sinchte rahe the

ham ko tabah kar ke kitne sukun se hain

ham muztarib hamesha jin ke liye rahe the

dekha jo aaj un ko hairan rah ga.e sab

kya kya na log ham ko ilzam de rahe the

aao ki ittifaqan tum bhi ho aaj tanha

ham bhi hujum-e-gham men aksar ghire rahe the

kya kya ḳhayal aa.e firdaus-e-hosh ban kar

kitne hasin aza.em dil men chhupe rahe the

vo din bhi yaad hain jab ye haal tha ki ham par

hansti rahi thi duniya ham dekhte rahe the

itna to yaad hai jab vo ho rahe the ruḳhsat

ta-der dil hi dil men kuchh sochte rahe the

hairan huun ki un ko kya ho gaya hai jaane

sahil se jo musalsal avaz de rahe the

ik inqalab aḳhir aa hi gaya jahan men

soti rahi thi duniya ham jagte rahe the

lo dekh lo hain mere qadmon men sar-ba-sajda

ye but ki jin ko kal tak sab pujte rahe the

guzre the ham bhi ‘rahi’ ik maqtal-e-vafa se

kuchh log chal base the kuchh saans le rahe the
