Qissa Mukhtasar

rāhat-e-jāñ se to ye dil kā vabāl achchhā hai

us ne pūchhā to hai itnā tirā haal achchhā hai

maah achchhā hai bahut hī na ye saal achchhā hai

phir bhī har ek se kahtā huuñ ki haal achchhā hai

tire aane se koī hosh rahe yā na rahe

ab talak to tire bīmār kā haal achchhā hai

ye bhī mumkin hai tirī baat hī ban jaa.e koī

use de de koī achchhī sī misāl achchhā hai

daa.eñ ruḳhsār pe ātish kī chamak vaj.h-e-jamāl

baa.eñ ruḳhsār kī āġhosh meñ ḳhaal achchhā hai

aao phir dil ke samundar kī taraf lauT chaleñ

vahī paanī vahī machhlī vahī jaal achchhā hai

koī dīnār na dirham na riyāl achchhā hai

jo zarūrat meñ ho maujūd vo maal achchhā hai

kyuuñ parakhte ho savāloñ se javāboñ ko 'adīm'

hoñT achchhe hoñ to samjho ki savāl achchhā hai

Apne bachpan ke woh kisse kuch yaad rahe kuch bhul gaye

Jo kehni thi hazaaron baatein kuch yaad rahi kuch bhul gaye

Woh sadko par bhatakna, aur josh josh mein Kahi duur nikal jaana

Unn safar ki saari yaadon mein kuch yaad rahi kuch bhul gaye

Jo saath hasse aur saath roye

Tere kaandhe sarr rakh kar soye

doosre period mein apna sandwich niptaake

phir break mein dusro ke parathe khaana

canteen mein udhaar ki ice-cream leke apni shirt pe pighlaake giraana,

Inn khatte meethe ehsaaso mein kuch yaad rha kuch bhool gaye

tujhe sabke saamne chidhaake, apna koi fake id se katwana

Kam number aane ka rona gaana,

Phir izzat ko naa padhne ke bahano talle bachana

inn tuuti phooti tasveero mein Kuch yaad rha kuch bhul gaye

Uss teacher ko sirf tujhe hasane Ke liye pareshan karna

Phir khoob pitaayi khaana

Zabardasti bithai bench partner se

Ke saath koniyo ka ittefaaq se chhuna

Aur shareer mein ek ajeeb sa current daudna

Jab kisi ko beimtehaan iss qadar chaahna

Aur umeed haar jaane par phir usi se rakhi bandhwana

Dost ko intro karana

phir ussi dost ki dosti dekh, jal jaana

Inn behki behki gardish mein Kuch yaad rha kuch bhul gaye

Woh ground mein uska chhup ke peechha karna

Aamne saamne khade ho kar pyaar se sharmana aur ghabraahat mein kuch bhi anaab shanab badhbadhana

Inn mehki mehki baaton mein Kuch yaad rha kuch bhul gaye.

achanak ek vidaai ki shaam aayi

Alvida kehne ka jab mauka laayi

Har kaam kiya naache aur gaaye

Bajayei alvida kehne ke

hazaaron waadon ke pul banaaye

umr bhar saath bitane ke

Jitna bhi aage jaane ke

Phir laut ke wapas aane ke

Kuch cheekhnein ke chillane ke

Yaaro ki yaari nibhaane ke

Kuch jaam ke takraane ke

Kuch dhuen mein udhaane ke

Kuch jeet ke kuch haar ke

Zindagi ki baazi maar ke

Galle phir se lagg jaa yaar ke.

Ye waade ke sahare

nikal pade apni duniya banane

Inn saare khwabo ke waadon mein

Kuch yaad rha kuch bhul gaye

ham par tumhārī chaah kā ilzām hī to hai

dushnām to nahīñ hai ye ikrām hī to hai

karte haiñ jis pe ta.an koī jurm to nahīñ

shauq-e-fuzūl o ulfat-e-nākām hī to hai

dil mudda.ī ke harf-e-malāmat se shaad hai

ai jān-e-jāñ ye harf tirā naam hī to hai

dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām hī to hai

lambī hai ġham kī shaam magar shaam hī to hai

dast-e-falak meñ gardish-e-taqdīr to nahīñ

dast-e-falak meñ gardish-e-ayyām hī to hai

āḳhir to ek roz karegī nazar vafā

vo yār-e-ḳhush-ḳhisāl sar-e-bām hī to hai

bhīgī hai raat 'faiz' ġhazal ibtidā karo

vaqt-e-sarod dard kā hañgām hī to hai

dil ko ḳhayāl-e-yār ne maḳhmūr kar diyā

sāġhar ko rañg-e-bāda ne pur-nūr kar diyā

mānūs ho chalā thā tasallī se hāl-e-dil

phir tū ne yaad aa ke ba-dastūr kar diyā

gustāḳh-dastiyoñ kā na thā mujh meñ hausla

lekin hujūm-e-shauq ne majbūr kar diyā

kuchh aisī ho ga.ī hai tere ġham meñ mubtilā

goyā kisī ne jaan ko mas.hūr kar diyā

betābiyoñ se chhup na sakā mājrā-e-dil

āḳhir huzūr-e-yār bhī mazkūr kar diyā

ahl-e-nazar ko bhī nazar aayā na rū-e-yār

yaañ tak hijāb-e-nūr ne mastūr kar diyā

'hasrat' bahut hai martaba-e-āshiqī buland

tujh ko to muft logoñ ne mash.hūr kar diyā

ye kaun aa ga.ī dil-rubā mahkī mahkī

fazā mahkī mahkī havā mahkī mahkī

vo āñkhoñ meñ kājal vo bāloñ meñ gajrā

hathelī pe us ke hinā mahkī mahkī

ḳhudā jaane kis kis kī ye jaan legī

vo qātil adā vo qazā mahkī mahkī

savere savere mire ghar pe aa.ī

ai 'hasrat' vo bād-e-sabā mahkī mahkī

Kisi ka hukm hai

Saari hawayein

Hamesha chalne se pehle batayein

Ke unki samt ( direction) kya hai

Hawaon ko batana yeh bhi hoga

Chalengi jab tto kya raftaar hogi

Ke aandhi ki ijazat ab nahi hai

Hamari ret ki yeh sab faseelein (ramparts)

Ye kagaz ke mahal

Jo ban rahe hain

Hifazat inki karna hai zaruri

Aur aandhi hai purani inki dushman

Ye sab hi jaante hain

Kisika hukm hai

Dariya ki lehren

Zara ye sarkashi ( strong headedness) kam kar lein

Apni hadd mein thehrein

Ubharna phir bikharna

Bikhar kar phir ubharna

Galat hai unka ye hungama karna

Yeh sab hai sirf vehshat ki alamat (signs of insanity)

Baghavat ki alamat

Baghavat tto nahi bardasht hogi

Ye vehshat tto nahi bardasht hogi

Agar lehron ko hai dariya mein rehna

Tto unko hoga bas chupchap behna

Kisika hukm hai

Is gulsitaN mein

Bas ab ik rang ke hi phool honge

Kuch afsar honge

Jo ye tai karenge

GulistaN kis tarha banna hai kal ka

Yaqeenan phool ikrangi tto hongey

Magar ye rang hoga kitna gehra kitna halka

Ye afsar tai karenge

Kisiko ye koi kaise bataye

GulistaN mein

Kahin bhi phool ikrangi nahi hotey

Kabhi ho hi nahi sakte

Ki har ik rang mein chupkar

Bahut se rang rehte hain

Jinhone baagh ikrangi banana chahe thay

Unko zara dekho

Ke jab ik rang mein sau rang zahir ho gayein hain tto

Woh ab kitne pareshaN hain

Woh kitne tung ( harassed )rehte hain

Kisiko ye koi kaise bataye

HawayeiN aur lehreN

Kab kisika hukm sunti hain

HawayeiN

Hakkimon ki mutthiyon mein, hathkadi mein qaidkhano mein

Nahi ruktin

Yeh lehren roki jaati hain

Tto dariya kitna bhi ho pursukoon ( calm)

Betaab hota hai

Aur is betaabi ka agla qadam

Sailab (flood )hota hai.

Kisiko ko ye koi kaise bataye

hamesha der kar detā huuñ maiñ har kaam karne meñ

zarūrī baat kahnī ho koī va.ada nibhānā ho

use āvāz denī ho use vāpas bulānā ho

hamesha der kar detā huuñ maiñ

madad karnī ho uss yaar kī ya Hosla badhānā ho

bahut derīna rastoñ par kisī se milne jaanā ho

hamesha der kar detā huuñ maiñ

badalte mausamoñ kī sair meñ dil ko lagānā ho

kisī ko yaad rakhnā ho kisī ko bhuul jaanā ho

hamesha der kar detā huuñ maiñ

kisī ko maut se pahle kisī ġham se bachānā ho

haqīqat aur thī kuchh us ko jā ke ye batānā ho

hamesha der kar detā huuñ maiñ har kaam karne meñ....

Aao ke koi khwab bun le kal ke waaste,

Warna ye raat aaj ke sangeen daur ki

Dass legi jaanOdil ko kuch aise ki jaanOdil taa umr phir na koi haseen khwab bun sake.

Go hum se bhaagti rhi ye tez-gaam umr

Khwabon ki Aasre pe kati hai tamam umr

Zulfon ke khwab, hothon ke khwab aur badan ke khwab

Maeraj-e-fan ke khwab, kamaal -e-sukhan ke khwab,

Tehzeeb-e-zindagi ke faarogh-e-watan ke khwab

Zindan ke khwab , koocha-e-daar-o-rasn ke khwab

Ye khwab hi toh apne jawani ke paas the

Ye khwab hi toh apni amal ke asaas the

Ye khwab marr gye hai toh berang hai hayaat

Yun hai ki jaise dast-e-tah-e-sang hai hayaat

Aao ke koi khwab bune kal ke vaaste

Warna ye raat aaj ke sangeen daur ki

Dass legi jaanOdil ko kuch aise ki jaanOdil taa-umr phir na koi hai khwab bun saki
