Main Samundar Tha Mujhe Chain Se Rahne Na Diya

Azhar Inayati

main samundar tha mujhe chain se rahne na diya

ḳhamushi se kabhi dariyaon ne bahne na diya

apne bachpan men jise sun ke main so jaata tha

mere bachchon ne vo qissa mujhe kahne na diya

kuchh tabi.at men thi avara mizaji shamil

kuchh buzurgon ne bhi ghar men mujhe rahne na diya

sar-bulandi ne miri shahr-e-shikasta men kabhi

kisi divar ko sar par mire Dahne na diya

ye alag baat ki main nuuh nahin tha lekin

main ne kashti ko ghalat samt men bahne na diya

baad mere vahi sardar-e-qabila tha magar

buz-dili ne use ik vaar bhi sahne na diya
