Itna Maloom hai - Parveen Shakir

apne bistar pay buhut dair se main neem daraaz
sochti thi wo iss waqt kahan par ho ga
main yahan hoon magar uss kucha e rang o boo main
rooz ki tarha se wo ajj bhi ayya ho ga
aur jaab uss ne waha mujh ko na payya ho ga !???

aap ko ilm hai' wo ajj nehi aai hain ?
meri har dost se uss ne yehi pocha ho ga
kyoun nehi aai wo- kya baat hoi hai akhir
khud se iss baat pay soo baar wo uljha ho ga

kal wo aey gi to main uss se nehi boloon ga
aap hi aap ki baar wo rotha ho ga

wo nehi hai to balandi ka safar kitna kathan
seriyah charte huwe uss ne ye socha ho ga
rahedari main' hare lawn main' phoolon ki kareeb
uss ne har samat mujhe aan ke dhounda ho ga

naam bholle se jo mera kehein ayya ho ga
ghair mehsoos tareeke se wo chonka ho ga
aik jumle ko kehi baar sunayaa ho ga
baat karte huwe soo baar wo bholla ho ga

ye jo larki nehi aai hai' kehein wo to nehi
uss ne har chehra yehi soch ke decka ho ga

jaane mehfil hai' magar aaj faqat mere beghair
haye kiss darja wohi bazm main tanha ho ga
kabhi sanatoin se wehshaat jo hohi ho gi usse
uss ne be sakhta phir mujh ko pukaara ho ga
chalte chalte kohi manoos se ahaat paa kar
doston ko bhi kissi uzr se rooka ho ga

yaad karke mujhe' nam ho geyi hoin gi palkain
ankh main par gya kuch'' keh ke tala ho ga
aur ghabra ke kitabon main jo li ho gi panah
har sater main mera chehra ubhar ayya ho ga
jaab mili ho gi usse mere allalat ki khabar
uss ne ahista se deewar ko thama ho ga
soch kar ye ' ke behl jaye parshani dil
youin be wajah' kissi shaks ko roka ho ga!

itafaakan mujhe uss shaam meri aik dost mili
main ne pocha ke suno- aey thai wo? kesse thai ?
mujh ko pocha tha? mujhe dhounda tha charoun janab??
uss ne aik lamhe ke liye decha mujhe aur phir hans dii
uss hansi main to wo talkhi thi ke uss ke agay
kya kaha uss ne - mujhe yaad nehi - LAKIN
