Jo Chand Sikkon Ki Chah Mein Kin Wo Hijraten Kya Shumar Karna

Anjum Usman

jo chand sikkon ki chaah men kiin vo hijraten kya shumar karna

safar men apnon se duriyon ki aziyyaten kya shumar karna

jo mere dil ki ujaaḌ basti men ek mausam Thahar gaya hai

bala se aa.e bahar ya phir ḳhizan ruten kya shumar karna

jo raushni ka nagar kabhi tha vo aaj andheron men gum hua hai

ujaaḌ andheri udaas viran imaraten kya shumar karna

sameT lenge ham apne daman men apne hisse ki nafraton ko

na thiin hamare nasib men jo vo chahaten kya shumar karna

munafiqat ke gharaz ke rishton men kyuun vafa ko talashti ho

ḳhulus-e-dil gar na ho to aisi qarabaten kya shumar karna

mohabbaton men vo bhige lamhe vo guzre pal vo ruten jo bitin

kahin fazaon men kho ga.iin jo vo sa.aten kya shumar karna

bhula diin ham ne jafa.en saari sitam vo saare bhula diye hain

jo tum ho apne to ab tumhari adavaten kya shumar karna

likhe the naam apne jin pe ham ne daraḳht saare vo kaT chuke hain

miTa diya vaqt ne jinhen vo ibaraten kya shumar karna

rahin dilon men na vus.aten ab na fursaten ab na chahaten ab

na ab mayassar kabhi jo hongi vo sohbaten kya shumar karna

ye sim-o-zar ye harir-o-atlas ye jah-o-hashmat ye auj-o-sarvat

sukun-e-dil hi na de saken jo vo rahaten kya shumar karna

vo chahaten hain jo ḳhuun ban kar ragon men dauran kar rahi hain

mohabbaton se bhara ho daman to nafraten kya shumar karna

tiri raza pe jhuka ke sar ko jo zer-e-tegh-e-sitam kiya tha

vo ek sajda hai sab pe bhari ibadaten kya shumar karna

jo sham-e-bazm-e-suḳhan kabhi the na koi ab un ko janta hai

davam jin ko hua na hasil vo shohraten kya shumar karna

na jaane mahrumiyon ke kitne hi daagh dilbar saje hue hain

kabhi jo puuri na ho sakengi vo hasraten kya shumar karna

ho ra.egan har safar to ‘anjum’ tamam raste hain ek jaise

na manzilen jab nasib men hon masafaten kya shumar karna
