Aik din us makaan main
Basnay wala
Awazon ka aseer
Jhunjhula kar… girgira kar
Gira…
Ujalon say rooth kar
Chup chaap khayalon main
Naye deep jala kar
Apnay andheron ko ankhon main saja kar
Sar apnay kitnay hee ilzaam laga kar
Gira…
Gira, aur kho gaya…
Jo hua roshan nigahon ka andhera
Tou ahsaas ki tanhai nay
Khud ko akela na paya…
Sar utha kar… khauf chupa kar
Dekha kay…
Kafan posh kayee log kharay
Un kay honton pay taalay lagay
Chup chaap khayalon ki zubaan main
Apnay haathon ko uthaye huay
Ajab hisaar banaye huay
Ird gird kharay thay…
Phir goonji aik sadaa
Koi Soor phoonka gaya…
Aur gir gaye wo log…
Apni hee nazron main!
“Aay awaz kay aseer…
Kia poojtay ho khwaabon kay devta ko tum?
Kia jurm tumhara inhi logon ki tarha hay?
Kia tum bhee ho aag-o-tamanna say muztarib?
Taqdeer kay har mor ko kia kostay ho tum?”
Laraz gaye wo log…
Aur laraz uthi zameen…
Tauheed ki chitaa say
Chingaariaan ureen
Bola woh aseer:
“Na main tera mujrim hoon… na tu mera dushman
Na bughz say teray bhara hay mera daaman…
Main tou hoon bus ik saayaa…
Guzri zindagi ka
Aik murda admi ka…”
Ayee nidaa yeh phir, kay:
“Gustaakh teray lafz… hay baybaak teri soch
Kioon ghaafil hay naymaton say?
Kioon karta nahi shukar?
Jo jaanta hoon main… tu jaanta nahi…
Aadmi hay tu… koi khuda nahi...”
Bola aseer darr kay:
“Meray Maalik, meray gunah
Bay shumaar hain lekin…
Kia haq nahi insaan ka
Khwaabon ko taraashna?
Kia soch aur taskheer
Mera nahi shuaar?
Azmayen gay kab tak mujhay
Taqdeer kay sawaal?
Kab tak yeh umeedain meri
Muslehat ki aag ka
eendhan banain gee?
Justujoo meri hasti ki
Yunhi jalti rahay gee?”
Garja phir asmaan
Khashmageen saltanat…
Kafan poshon nay apnay haath
Zameen bos kar diyay…
Koondi phir bijliaan aur agaya jalaal
Kehnay lagay wo log yak-aawaz aik saath
“Hum saaz-e-Israfeel hain…
Humain jaltarang na jaan!
Hum hikmat kee riwayat hain…
Na kay jazbaat ka hejaan!”
Ayee Nidaa Falak say yeh:
“Aay muqaffal logo…
Jao tum ko amaan hay!
Yeh aseer hay yaadon ka
Is ki marzi kab yahan hay!
Is ki soch ka zindaan hay
Maqtal tumharay sach ka…
Uriyaan hay is kay qafas main
Tumharay noor ki devi!”
Phir gir gaye wo log…
Kafan phaar kay apnay
Aur utha aik shor naya…
Dharaktay dilon say!
“Hum hain tera husun…
Teri zindagi kay rung…
Na tu murda hay… na jaabir hay
Na apni soch pay qadir hay…
Chor runj ka daaman… bhula arzoo ki khoj
Naya jism kar talaash… nayee maut ki aghosh”
Bola Aseer apni nigahon ko jhuka kar
Un-dekhi hamaqaton ko gulzaar bana kar
“Hay qayam mera ahed
Aur shikasta mera eemaan
Meri zindagi kay rung…
Buht surkh ho chalay hain
Khwahish ka kaghaz…
Lahoo choos chuka hay!
Faraar… phir aik baar
Baykaar hee samjha…
Main apnay aap ko
Bus aik kirdaar he samjha!”
Haathon ko uthaye huay
Tehleel huay log…
Aur unkay honton kay wo taalay…
Toot chukay thay…
Hui larzaan phir zameen…
Aur chanay laga ghubaar
Ankhon kay andheron main
Hui gul phir chahat ki roshni…
Uthaya jo sar achanak
Tou badan bheeg chuka tha
Waqt ka dhaara…
Usi simt behnay laga tha…
Kesa kafan… kesa hisaar?
Yahan aur kuch na tha…
Nayee Awaazain
Shokh dilon ki… faaslon ki
farash say ubal pareen
Aur aseer un awazon ka…
Apnay labon ko see kar…
Ungliyaan ankhon main ghusa kar
Naye deep bujha kar…
Khwaabon kay andheron ko
aag laga kar
Dozakh bana kar…
Phir aik baar… Gir gaya!
