[HarshBhatt]

MaiN pal do pal ka shayar hooN, pal do pal meri kahaani hai
pal do pal meri hasti hai, pal do pal meri jawaani hai




Duniya ne tajrubaat-o-hawaadis ki shakl meiN
jo kuchh mujhe diya hai woh lauTa raha hooN maiN

[HarshBhatt]

Mere Geet


mire sarkash taraane sun ke duniyaa ye samajhtii hai
k shaayad mere dil ko ishq ke naGhmoN se nafrat hai
mujhe haNgaama-e-jang-o-jadal meiN kaif milta hai
mirii fitrat ko KhooNrezi ke afsaanoN se raGhbat hai
miri duniyaa meiN kuchh vaq’at nahiiN hai raqs-o-naGhme kii
mirii mahboob naGhmaa shor-e-aahaNg-e-baGhaawat hai

magar aie kaash! dekheiN vo mirii pursoz raatoN ko
maiN jab taaroN pe nazreiN gaaR kar aaNsoo bahaataa houN
tasavvur ban ke bhooli vaardaateiN yaad aatii haiN
to soz-o-dard kii shiddat se pahroN tilmilaataa houN
koii Kh(w)aaboN meiN Kh(w)aabidaa umaNgoN ko jagaatii hai
to apni zindagii ko maut ke pahloo meiN paataa houN

maiN shaayar houN, mujhe fitrat ke nazzaaroN se ulfat hai
miraa dil dushman-e-naGhmaa-saraaii ho nahiiN saktaa
mujhe insaaniyat kaa dard bhi baKhshaa hai qudrat ne
miraa maqsad faqat sho’laa navaaii ho nahiiN saktaa
javaaN houN maiN javaanii laGzishoN kaa ek toofaaN hai
mirii baatoN meiN raNg-e-paarsaaii ho nahiiN saktaa

mire sarkash taraanoN kii haqeeqat hai to itnii hai
k jab maiN dekhtaa houN bhook ke maare kisaanoN ko
GhariiboN, muflishoN ko, bekasoN ko, besahaaroN ko
sisaktii naazneenoN ko, taRapte naujavaanoN ko
Hukoomat ke tashaddud ko, amaarat ke takabbur ko
kisii ke cheethRoN ko aur shahan_shaahii KhazaanoN ko

to dil taab-e-nishaat-e-bazm-e-ishrat laa nahiiN saktaa
maiN chaahouN bhii to Kh(w)aab-aavar taraane gaa nahiiN saktaa!
