Is Dasht Se Aage Bhi Koi Dasht-E-Guman Hai

Imran Aami

is dasht se aage bhi koi dasht-e-guman hai

lekin ye yaqin kaun dila.ega kahan hai

ye ruuh kisi aur ilaqe ki makin hai

ye jism kisi aur jazire ka makan hai

karta hai vahi kaam jo karna nahin hota

jo baat main kahta huun ye dil sunta kahan hai

kashti ke musafir pe yunhi taari nahin ḳhauf

Thahra hua paani kisi ḳhatre ka nishan hai

jo kuchh bhi yahan hai tire hone se hai varna

manzar men jo khilta hai vo manzar men kahan hai

is raakh se uThti hui ḳhushbu ne bataya

marte hue logon ki kahan ja-e-aman hai

ye kar-e-suḳhan kar-e-abas to nahin ‘ami’

ye qafiya-paima.i nahin husn-e-bayan hai
