Iqan Ke Hamrah Kuchh Auham Pade The

Ajiz Kamaal Rana

iqan ke hamrah kuchh auham paḌe the

ham un ki gali men jo sar-e-sham paḌe the

main maan nahin paaya magar dekh raha tha

us shaḳhs ki chaukhaT pe dar-o-bam paḌe the

main ek sadi ba.ad ka gham dekh raha tha

aur saath hi din raat ke alam paḌe the

lakhon men chuna ham ne usi ek ko varna

piine ko to mahfil men kai jaam paḌe the

sarkar se pahle tha ajab naqsha jahan ka

masjid thi kahin devi kahin raam paḌe the

‘ajiz’ ko baḌa maan hai un sheron pe janan

jo tere tavassut se zad-e-am paḌe the
