Ahmad Hamesh
nahin ‘hamesh’ aisa mat hone do
abhi to tumhen ism dena hai
us roti ke tukde ko
jise duniya bhar ki bhuuk se churaya gaya
aur gharibi kis desh ki dev-mala hai
tumhen ism dena hai
naujavani ke dinon ki us umang ko
ya is ke naam ke ped ki tuuti hui ek patti ko
ya adhuri sachchaiyon ke naam par jalai gai kitabon ko
dekho haan abhi abhi ek khayal mitti par rakkha gaya hai
kahin use la-vatan na kar diya jaae
mokhon par hansne ke liye bhi to ek hi jaisi hansi rah gai hai
yahan tak ki bijli chali jaati hai aur andesha hota hai ki us arse men main us avaz men
billi ke panjon panjon se khurunchne vaali saffaki badh gai ho
ek aadmi ka dil hai ki asani se nahin manta
varna auraton galiyon se kutte billi to mar hi jaate hain
ye jante hue bhi ki mohabbat ko adakariyon se bachae rakhne ke liye tumhen intizar karna hai
