Kho Jaun Musht-E-KHak Mein Aisa Nahin Hun Main

Ejaz Ansari

kho ja.un musht-e-ḳhak men aisa nahin huun main

dariya huun apni zaat men qatra nahin huun main

guzrunga jis jagah se nishan chhoḌ ja.unga

andhi huun apne vaqt ki jhonka nahin huun main

manzil se ye kaho ki kare mera intizar

Thahra hua zarur huun bhaTka nahin huun main

puchhi hai ḳhat men aap ne jo ḳhairiyat miri

kaise likhun janab ki achchha nahin huun main

ḳhushbu tire badan ki mire saath saath hai

kah de koi havaon se tanha nahin huun main

husn-o-shabab saghar-o-mina the samne

lekin kisi bhi shab kahin Thahra nahin huun main

de kar khilaune mujh ko jo bahla rahe hain log

‘ejaz’ un se kah do ki bachcha nahin huun main
