Phir Hunar-Mandon Ke Ghar Se Be-Hunar Jata Hun Main

Arsh Siddiqui

phir hunar-mandon ke ghar se be-hunar jaata huun main

tum ḳhabar be-zar ho ahl-e-nazar jaata huun main

jeb men rakh li hain kyuun tum ne zabanen kaaT kar

kis se ab ye ajnabi puchhe kidhar jaata huun main

haan main saaya huun kisi shai ka magar ye bhi to dekh

gar ta.aqub men na ho suraj to mar jaata huun main

haath ankhon se uTha kar dekh mujh se kuchh na puchh

kyuun ufuq par phailti sub.hon se Dar jaata huun main

bas yunhi tanha rahunga is safar men umr bhar

jis taraf koi nahin jaata udhar jaata huun main

ḳhauf ki ye intiha sadiyon se ankhen band hain

shauq ki ye ablahi be-bal-o-par jaata huun main

‘arsh’ rasmon ki panah-gahen bhi ab sar par nahin

aur vahshi raston par be-sipar jaata huun main
