Nahin Shauq-E-KHaridari Mein dauDe Ja Raha Hai

Ejaz Gul

nahin shauq-e-ḳharidari men dauḌe ja raha hai

ye gahak sair-e-bazari men dauḌe ja raha hai

mayassar kuchh nahin hai khel men la-hasili ke

yunhi be-kar bekari men dauḌe ja raha hai

uTha.e phir raha hai kotval-e-umr chabuk

badan majbur lachari men dauḌe ja raha hai

khaḌi hai manfa.at hairan bahar da.ere se

ziyan apni ziyan-kari men dauḌe ja raha hai

Thaharna bhi kahan hai sahal in sayyargan ko

na sabit se hi sayyari men dauḌe ja raha hai

utara ḳhvahishon ka hai izafi bojh sar se

to asani se dushvari men dauḌe ja raha hai

nahin himmat ki jis men ho zamane ke muqabil

vo apne ghar ki rahdari men dauḌe ja raha hai

nahin milta magar rauzan ki nikle aks bahar

pas-e-a.ina-zangari men dauḌe ja raha hai

sameTa jhuuT ki parkar ne hai pesh-o-pas ko

ki ab har sach riya-kari men dauḌe ja raha hai

ḳhabar hai rut badalne ki agar rashk-e-saba vo

ḳhiram-andaz gulzari men dauḌe ja raha hai
