Ye Kya Ki Rang Hathon Se Apne chhuDaen Hum

Azhar Inayati

ye kya ki rang hathon se apne chhuḌa.en ham

ilzam titliyon ke paron par laga.en ham

hoti hain roz roz kahan aisi barishen

aao ki sar se paanv talak bhiig jaa.en ham

ukta gaya hai saath ke in qahqahon se dil

kuchh roz ko bichhaḌ ke ab aansu baha.en ham

kab tak fuzul logon par ham tajrabe karen

kaghaz ke ye jahaz kahan tak uḌa.in ham

kirdar-saziyon men bahut kaam a.enge

bachchon ko vaqi.at baḌon ke suna.en ham

is kar-e-agahi ko junun kah rahe hain log

mahfuz kar rahe hain faza men sada.en ham

‘az.har’ sama.aten hain latifon ki muntazir

mahfil men apne sher kise ab suna.en ham
