Kuchh Log Samajhne Hi Ko Tayar Nahin The

Razi Akhtar Shauq

kuchh log samajhne hi ko tayar nahin the

ham varna koi uqda-e-dushvar nahin the

sad-haif ki dekha hai tujhe dhuup se be-kal

afsos ki ham saya-e-divar nahin the

ham itne pareshan the ki hal-e-dil-e-sozan

un ko bhi sunaya ki jo gham-ḳhvar nahin the

sach ye hai ki ik umr guzari sar-e-maqtal

ham kaun se lamhe men sar-e-dar nahin the

maana ki bahut tez thi raftar-e-havadis

ham bhi koi girti hui divar nahin the

ye us ki inayat hai ki apna ke tumhen ‘shauq’

vo zaḳhm diye jin ke saza-var nahin the
