Haazir

Mehnat hi ki maine chala hoon kaanto pe
Struggle dikhe tabhi to baaton mein
Shayari bana di hai maine halaat
Ghalib banaya hai jabse haalaton ne
Bachho ke beech jaise tha cheel
Wo the nadaan main tha wazeer
Puchoge ‘gar mujhe meri aukaat
Tarkash mein maine rakha brahmashir
Baatein bhi gehri main kitni kahun
Siyahi hai gaadhi ya mera lahu
Dil hai nafees, fitrat ghamandi
Sabko jhuka doon ya jhuk ke rahun?
Chalti kalam mein hi mera sukoon
Lafzon mein dooba hai mera junoon
Nikle ehsaas Maniac ki beat pe
Jaise jisam se behta lahu
Tukde salamat hai Dil maana toota hai
Shayar ka hasta ye chehra bhi jhootha
Peeche hai vaar laakho sitam
Dekhoge khanjar ya pahle zakham
Pahle rakam tau hoti rishton ki
Ye bikna zameer kahte hai iske hi
Baatein kare hum khud se kabhi
Chup ke se aankhein bhi bhar li kabhi
Akela lada, main toh haalaton se
Maangi na maine tasalli kabhi
Akela lada, main toh haalaton se
Maangi na maine tasalli kabhi

Kitno se dekha jo maine saha?
Tum the kya haazir bolo wahan?
Jaane bina kaise mujhe
Meri kahani karoge bayaan?
Kitno se dekha jo maine saha?
Tum the kya haazir bolo wahan?
Jaane bina kaise mujhe
Meri kahani karoge bayaan?

Unkahi baaton ka kya hai pata?
Pahle apni kahani se parda hata
Baatein banate jo peeche khade
Mere ghar ke haalaton ka kya hai pata
Dil bhi kameena tikta nahi
Majboori mein jeena bikta nahi
Dikhta hai sabko haatho mein jaam
Par behta paseena ye dikhta nahi
Shayar ka naam mit’ta nahi
Panchi falak ka main bikta nahi
Haatho mein halchal hai dil ki raza
Bina ehsaaso ke likhta nahi
Vairi tange ghazalon ke fando pe
Baithe hai farz shayar ke kandho pe
Jhadu kalam ‘gar jhatke se main
Cheentein lahu ke girenge panno pe
Khichunga dhayan phir se sabhi ka
Swagat hai mehfil mein phir se sabhi ka
Mirza bana main na kabhi
Ghalib bana par main dil se sabhi ka
Neki bhi ki, kiye gunaah
Khud ko hi likhte hai hoti subah
Meri hansi se waakif ho tum
Aaskon ke mere ‘gar tum the gawaah
Taano ka rakha na thoda malaal
Kaiyon ka bana hoon main bhi misaal
Baatein kare jo peeche filhaal
Sab se hai mera ek hi sawaal

Kitno se dekha jo maine saha?
Tum the kya haazir bolo wahan?
Jaane bina kaise mujhe
Meri kahani karoge bayaan?
Kitno se dekha jo maine saha?
Tum the kya haazir bolo wahan?
Jaane bina kaise mujhe
Meri kahani karoge bayaan?

Saath khade aur dikhawati
Dono gawahon mein fark hai
Shayari ke mausham se bhara hai dil
Tabhi lafzon ke fizaaon mein fark hai
Nahi rukta hun mere baare mein duniya ko batane se janaab
Batao lekin haqeeqat,
Kunki sachhe kisson aur udti afwaon mein fark hai
