Raqs-E-Junun Ki Garmi-E-Tasir Dekhna

Anjum Irfani

raqs-e-junun ki garmi-e-tasir dekhna

khulta hai kaise halqa-e-zanjir dekhna

ghis ghis ke pattharon ko banaya hai aa.ina

dekhen vo ḳhvab ham ko hai ta.abir dekhna

harbe sab un ke un ko hi lauTa diye ga.e

hairat se ban ga.e hain vo tasvir dekhna

likh di zaban-e-zaḳhm men rudad-e-zindagi

jismon pe us ki shoḳhi-e-tahrir dekhna

ab to vajud-e-maqtal-o-zindan pe aa bani

ab beḌiyan na tauq na zanjir dekhna

dekhe hain baiThe baiThe muqaddar ke tum ne khel

uTh kar zara karishma-e-tadbir dekhna

qasr-e-hayat-e-nau ki hai barud par bina

‘anjum’ ye pa.edari-e-ta.amir dekhna
