Hamesha Ek Si Raftar Ho Aisa Nahin Hota

Niyaz Nazr Fatmi

hamesha ek si raftar ho aisa nahin hota

mire hi haath men patvar ho aisa nahin hota

main saare pech-o-ḳham ko rafta rafta jaan ja.unga

koi rasta sada dushvar ho aisa nahin hota

samaji tane-bane men juda mansab juda qadren

sabhi ka ek hi me.aar ho aisa nahin hota

chalo aao milen baiThen karen kuchh pyaar ki baten

hamesha talḳh hi guftar ho aisa nahin hota

tum apne ḳhanjar-o-nashtar liye tayyar baiThe ho

abhi hi siina bhi tayyar ho aisa nahin hota

ho vaz.a muḳhtalif jab Topiyon ki ‘nazr’ to suniye

vo majlis ḳhatm be-takrar ho aisa nahin hota
