Ye Dastak Aur Ye Dar Mera Nahin Hai

Shahnaz Parveen Sahar

ye dastak aur ye dar mera nahin hai

ab is basti men ghar mera nahin

safar hai aur hi darpesh mujh ko

ye musht-e-ḳhak ghar mera nahin hai

main kis barud men bikhri paḌi huun

ye dhaḌ mera hai sar mera nahin hai

mujhe mere havale kar gaya hai

to kya hai vo agar mera nahin hai

ye kis angan men jhukta ja raha hai

shajar mera hai ghar mera nahin hai

safar hai ḳhvab men sahra-e-jan ka

magar vo ham-safar mera nahin hai

main kyon us ki kahani ban ga.i huun

agar vo harf-gar mera nahin hai

ajab si aanch dil tak aa rahi hai

ye shorida sharar mera nahin hai

shab-e-sajda jabin par jam gaya kya

ye dagh-e-ishq gar mera nahin hai

urus-e-sham roti phir rahi hai

ye aansu chashm-e-tar mera nahin hai

jo mere saath chalta ja raha hai

vo saaya hai magar mera nahin hai

‘sahar’ ye aur hi duniya hai koi

yahan koi bhi Dar mera nahin hai
