Ye Kis Hasin Ne Logon Ko Rok Rakkha Hai

Roohi Kanjahi

ye kis hasin ne logon ko rok rakkha hai

tamam shahr ke raston ko rok rakkha hai

nikal paḌen na kahin paane apni ta.abiren

isi liye sabhi ḳhvabon ko rok rakkha hai

vo kah rahe hain kaho dil ki baat baat magar

na jaane kyuun ka.i baton ko rok rakkha hai

dalilen dene ko de sakte hain hazar magar

sabhi havalon javazon ko rok rakkha hai

abhi hayat ke goshe chhupe hue hain bahut

kisi ne kyuun sabhi rangon ko rok rakkha hai

na apne-ap men ho jaa.e gharq dariya bhi

zamin ne kaise kinaron ko rok rakkha hai

na raaz faash kabhi hon zamin valon ke

falak ne chand sitaron ko rok rakkha hai

tamam log hi pagal na ho ke rah jaa.en

numa.ishon se hasinon ko rok rakkha hai

tamam shahr ko raushan na hone denge kabhi

hamare sinon ki aagon ko rok rakkha hai

diye bujhati bhi hain to jalati bhi hain yahi

ye kis ne tund havaon ko rok rakkha hai

na kaam karne ke karte na karne dete hain

hamare ḳhvason ne aamon ko rok rakkha hai

hamari rahnuma.i ko raste kaafi the

pa zulmaton ne bhi raston ko rok rakkha hai

kisi kisi ko hai haq zinda rahne ka hasil

dukhon ne logon ki sanson ko rok rakkha hai

bhale zamane ki ummid par abhi ‘ruhi’

bahut zaruri bhi kamon ko rok rakkha hai
