aaine mein KHud apna chehra hai


aa.ine meñ ḳhud apnā chehrā hai
phir bhī kyuuñ ajnabī sā lagtā hai

jis pe insāniyat ko naaz thā kal
ab vo sab se baḌā darinda hai

fikr bhī hai ajiib sā jañgal
jis kā mausam badaltā rahtā hai

kaise apnī giraft meñ aa.e
āgahī ik basīt dariyā hai

is meñ zulmat panap nahīñ saktī
zehn sūraj kī taab rakhtā hai

vo samajhtā hai aa.ine kī bisāt
jis ne patthar kabhī tarāshā hai

kyā hamārī vafā-shi.ārī se
har jagah intishār barpā hai

aaine mein KHud apna chehra hai
phir bhi kyun ajnabi sa lagta hai

jis pe insaniyat ko naz tha kal
ab wo sab se baDa darinda hai

fikr bhi hai ajib sa jangal
jis ka mausam badalta rahta hai

kaise apni giraft mein aae
aagahi ek basit dariya hai

is mein zulmat panap nahin sakti
zehn suraj ki tab rakhta hai

wo samajhta hai aaine ki bisat
jis ne patthar kabhi tarasha hai

kya hamari wafa-shiari se
har jagah intishaar barpa hai
