Hindustani Poetry: Beyrukhi
Kaafi hai jaan nikaalney ki liye
bujh jaate hain jagmagaate diye.
Khushi beymaaney lagey
paraaye ho jaate hain sagay.
Raah badal jaati hai
yeh hai kaisee mai?
Dooriyan badhti rehteen
neik roohein zyaadateenyaan sehteen.
Kya mil jaayega beyrukhi se?
kisi ney bhi socha kabhi dil se?
Agar dekhiye to dimaag ka hai pher
lagta hai har koi ugalta zeher.
Sadiyon ka beetna to ho gya andaaz
khamoshi ban gayi gehna jo jo hua naraaz.
Yaad to karte hain ek doosre ko lekin kehte nahin
dua to detey hain magar kabhi ru-bu-ru na huay kahin.
Rishte lagein pheenkey
dushman aag laga ke haath seinkey.
Maafi rakh di taakh par
abhi bhi kuch nhi bigda mudd ke dekho agar.
Milte thay kabhi
iss se sirf maayoosi badhi.
Lagte hain khush apni apni duniya main
tatollo to kamiyaan to har jagah rahein.
