Mujhe Le Chal

Akhtar Shirani

miri ‘salma’ mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men!

jahan rangin bahishten khelti hain sabza-zaron men!

jahan huron ki zulfen jhumti hain shakh-saron men

jahan pariyon ke naghme gunjte hain kohsaron men

javani ki baharen tairti hain absharon men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men

vo mastana baharen jin pe qurban arz-e-jannat hai

jahan har zarra ik gahvara-e-mauj-e-latafat hai

jahan rangat hi rangat hai jahan nikhat hi nikhat hai

mohabbat hukmaran hai jin ke pakiza dayaron men!

miri ‘salma’ mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men!

vo doshiza fazaen jannaton ka hai guman jin par

chhidakta hai mai-e-tasnim-o-kausar asman jin par

lutati hai sahab-e-husn-o-talat kahkashan jin par

surur o nuur o nikhat baste hain jin ke sitaron men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men!

jahan shaam o sahar niili ghataen ghir ke aati hain!

ufuq ki god men nilam ki pariyan muskurati hain!

fazaon men baharen hi baharen lahlahati hain

jahan fitrat machalti hai lahakte abr-paron men!

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men!

jahan charon taraf bagh-o-gulistan lahlahate hain

shagufta vadiyon men jannaton ke khvab aate hain

jahan maasum taair ishq ke naghme sunate hain

aur un ka lahn-e-shirin gunjta hai kohsaron men!

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin baharon men!

hukumat hai jahan sidq-o-safa o mehr-o-ulfat ki

nashat-o-aish-o-ishrat ki surur-o-lutf-o-rahat ki

nasim o anjum o gul ki nava o nuur o nikhat kii!

mohabbat maujzan hai jin ke doshiza nazaron men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin nazaron men!

jahan abad ye napak shahristan nahin hote

fasadi fitna-parvar aur zalil insan nahin hote

ye insan haan ye haivan bad-tar az-shaitan nahin hote

fasad-o-shar jahan sote hain khvabon ke mazaron men!

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin nazaron men!

bahishton ki latafat hai jahan ki zindagani men

maza aata hai kausar ka jahan ke saada paani men

khudai husn uryan hai jahan ki naujavani men!

sadaqat karvaten leti hai saz-e-dil ke taron men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin nazaron men!

”hayat-e-daimi” likkha hua hai jin ke aivan par

iram-zar-e-abad hai saya-zan jin ke khayaban par

davamiyyat ke jalve chha rahe hain bagh-o-bustan par

guzar mumkin nahin hai maut ka jin ke nazaron men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal tu un rangin nazaron men

mohabbat men jo ho jaata hai painda nahin marta!

sadaqat jis ko kar deti hai tabinda nahin marta!

hai jis men ishq raqsan vo dil-e-zinda nahin marta!

nava-e-”la-fana” hai ruuh ke khamosh taron men

miri ‘salma’! mujhe le chal to un rangin nazaron men!
