Daawat-e-tamaasha
Tum ney tootey huwey pattoN ko kabhi deikha hey!
darakht ke haath sey girey huwey sookhey pattey!
khaak-aalooda, sitam-raseeda, faryaad-kanaaN
hawa ke rehm-o-karm par ke ab ley jaaey jahaaN
jin ki zaat meiN pasti hey, qismat meiN fanaa
bein kartey huwey, tarraptey huwey, sehmey huwey
kisi raah-geer ke qadmoN ki dhamak suntey huwey
jin ki aaNkhoN meiN be'kasi ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
jin ke bas meiN be'basi ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
shaoq-e-tamaasha hey to kisi roz mujhey milney aao
tum ney tootey huwey pattoN ko nahi deikha agar!!!
Tum ney tthehrey huwey paani ko kabhi deikha hey!
kisi sookhti hui jheel meiN be'jaan sa tthehra paani!
jis ke qatroN meiN haraarat ki koi ramaq bhi nahi
jis ki lehroN meiN zindagi ki koi chamak bhi nahi
jheel ki godd meiN simat'ta huwa gadla paani,
wohi chamakta huwa, shafaaf sa pyaara paani
jo kabhi mashkeeza-e-abr ke laboN sey chalka tha
aaj haqaarat sey taktey heiN usey guzarney waaley
shaoq-e-tamaasha hey to kisi roz mujhey milney aao
tum ney ttherey huwey paani ko nahi deikha agar!!!
**Tum ney uljhey huwey dhaagoN ko kabhi deikha hey!
**apney hi aap meiN uljhey huwey kacchey dhaagey!
jo apney aap meiN hi reh gaey hoN gunjal ban kar
apney wajood ki gehraaiyoN meiN ik uljhan ban kar
tarhaN tarhaN sey uljhey, jagaa jagaa sey kharaab
jo agar chaaheiN bhi ke saNwaar leiN muqaddar apna
to apni hi zaat ka sira dhoondh dhoondh ke thak jaaeiN
wohi rangeen sey dhaagey jo kabhi they misl-e-dhanak
aaj apney aap meiN yuN uljhey heiN ke sulajhtey hi nahi
shaoq-e-tamaasha hey to kisi roz mujhey milney aao
tum ney uljhey huwey dhaagoN ko nahi deikha agar!!!
