Parveen Shakir Poetry

Aadat Hi Bana Li Hai Is Sheher k Logon Nay
Andaaz badal lena,awaaz badal lena
Dunia ki muhabbat main atwaar badal lena
Mosaum jo naya aaye raftaar badal lena
Agyaar wohi rakhna aehbaab badal lena
Aadat hi bana li hai es sheher k logon nay
Rasty main agar milna nazron ko jhooka lena
Awaaz agar do to katra k nikal jana
Har ek say juda rehna har ek say khafa rehna Har ek ka gila karna
Jaty hoye raahi ko manzil ka pata day kar rasty main rula dena
Aadat hi bana li hai es sheher k logon nay.

Gair To Kiya Apne Liye Bhi Bekar Howe Hum
Ek Khaar K Liye Bhi Boht Khawaar Howe Hum,
Jab Weeran Sabza Zaar Men Ek Phool Aagiya
To kehne Lage Sabhi Raqeeb Khazaan Daar Howe Hum,
Yeh Shekwe Shekayten Nahi Ahwaal Hai Mera
Ab Anjaan Hain Jin K Liye Dildaar Howe Hum,
Afsos k is Ne Wafa Ka Paas Na Rakha
Jis K Liye Khud Se Bhi Gaddaar Howe Hum.

kal halki halki barish thi,
kal sard hawa ka raqs bhi tha,
Kal phool bhi nikhray nikhray the,
Kal un main app ka aqs bhi tha,
kal badal gehray kaale the,
Kal chand pe laakhon pehre the..
Kuch tukry app ki yaadon ke,
Bari dair se dil main thehre the..
Kal yaadien uljhi uljhi thien,
Aur kal tak yeh na suljhi thien..
Kal yaad buhat tum aye the?..
Kal yaad buhat tum aye the?..

kamaal-e-zabt ko Khud bhii to aazamauNgii
main apane haath se us kii dulhan sajauNgii
supurd kar ke use chaaNdanii ke haathon
main apane ghar ke aNdheron ko lauT auNgii
badan ke karb ko vo bhii samajh na payega
main dil men rouuNgii aaNkhon men muskurauNgii
vo kyaa gayaa ke rafaaqat ke saare lutf gaye
main kis se ruuTh sakuuNgii kise manauNgii
vo ik rishtaa-e-benaam bhii nahiin lekin
main ab bhii us ke ishaaron pe sar jhukauNgii
bichhaa diyaa thaa gulaabon ke saath apanaa vajuud
vo so ke uThe to Khvaabon kii raakh uThauNgii
ab us kaa fan to kisii aur se manasuub huaa
main kis kii nazm akele men gun_gunauNgii
javaz DhuuNDh rahaa thaa nayii muhabbat kaa
vo kah rahaa thaa ke main us ko bhuul jauNgii

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai
Suna hai sher ka jab pait bhar jaaye
To wo hamla nahin kerta,
Suna hai jab kisi nadi k paani mainBue k ghonsle ka gandami saaya larazta hai
To nadi ki ro pehli machhilyaan us ko
Parosi maan leti hain,
Hava k taiz jhonke jab darakhton ko hilaate hain
To Meena apne ghar ko bhool ker
Ka?uve k andon ko paron main thaam leti hai
Suna hai Ghonsle se jab koi bacha gire to
Saara jangle jaag jaata hai.
Naddi main baar aa jaaye
Koi Pull toot jaaye
To kisi lakri k takhte per
Gulahri, Saanp, Cheeta aur Bakri
Saath hote hain.
Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai,
Khuda-wanda Jaleel-o Mu?atbar, Daana-o Beena Munsif-o Akber,
HUMARE SHAHAR MAIN AB,
JANGLON KA HI KOI DASTOOR NAAFIZ KER..!!

Hawaa ke hote huye roshni tu kar jaye,
Meri tarah se koi zindagi tu kar jaye,
Tamaam umar tayeb mein hi basar hogi,
Teri taraf se nazar be-rukhi to kar jaye,
Chiragh-e-dil teh mehraab jaan na chore,
Hawaa ke sath koi dushmani to kar jaye,
Phir is ke baad jahan mein kahin panaah nahin,
Tere huzoor yeh jaan sarkashi tou kar jaye,
Woh dushmani ke bhi kaabil na mujh ko chore ga,
Us aadmi se yeh dil dosti tou ka jaye…

Dard phir jaaga,purana zakhm phir taaza hua
fasl e gul kitnay qareeb aaii hai,andaza hua
Subha yuun nikli,sanwar kay jis terha koi dulhan
shabnam aawaiza hui,rang e shafaq ghaza hua
Haath meray bhool bethay dastaken dainay ka fun
band mujh par jab say us kay ghar ka darqaza hua
Rail ki seeti men kesay hijr ki tamheed thi
us ko rukhsat kar kay ghar loatay to andaza hua

Waqt ke sath anaasar bhi rahe sazish mein,
Jal gaye pairr kabhi dhoop kabhi barish mein,
Woh tou ik saada-o-kam shauq ka talib nikla,
Hum ne naahiq hi ganwaya usey aarayesh mein,
Zindagi ki koi mehroomi nahin yaad ayi,
Jab talak hu mthey tere qurb ki asaayesh mein,
Aik dunya ka qaseeda tha agarche mere naam,
Lutf aata tha kisi shakhs ki fehmayesh mein,
Us ki ankhen bhi meri tarah se girdi kahin aur,
Khawb ka qarz barh jata hai ik khawish mein…

Agar ban mein rehna mukadar hai,
Aur yeh aik teh-shuda amar bhi hai,
Ke har ban mein bas bherriye muntazir hain mere,
Tou yeh sochti hoon,
Ke is soorat-e-haal mein,
Kyon na phir,
Apni marzi ke jungle mein ja basoon…

Kya kya na khawb hijar ke mausam mein kho gaye,
Hum jagte rahe they magar bakht so gaye,
Us ne peyaam bheje to raste mein reh gaye,
Hum ne jo khat likhe woh hawaa burd ho gaye,
Mein sheher e gul mein zakham ka chehra kisey dikhaon,
Shabnam badast log tou kantey chubho gaye,
Aanchal mein phool le ke kahan ja rahi hoon mein,
Jo aney waley log they, woh log to gaye,
Kya janiye ufq ke udhar kya talism hai,
Lautey nahin zameen pe ik baar jo gaye,
Jese badan se qos-e-qaza phootne lagi,
Barish ke haath phool ke sab zakhm dho gaye,
Ankhon mein dheere dheerey utar ke puraney gham,
Palkon main nanhe nanhe sitarey piro gaye,
Woh bachpney ki need tou ab khawb ho gayi,
Kya umar thi ke raat huyi aur so gaye,
Kya dukh they, kon jaan sake ga, nigar-e-shab,
Jo mere aur tere dupatey bhigo gaye..
