Famous Collection of poetry, ghazal, poems and nazms of Amjad Islam Amjad.
sae Dhalne charag jalne lage
log apne gharon ko chalne lage
itni pur-pech hai bhanwar ki girah
jaise nafrat dilon mein palne lage
dur hone lagi jaras ki sada
karwan raste badalne lage
us ke lahje mein barf thi lekin
chhu ke dekha to hath jalne lage
us ke band-e-qaba ke jadu se
sanp se ungliyon mein chalne lage
rah-e-gum-karda taeron ki tarah
phir sitare safar pe chalne lage
phir nigahon mein dhul uDti hai
aks phir aaine badalne lage
ye jo hasil hamein har shai ki farawani hai
ye bhi to apni jagah ek pareshani hai
zindagi ka hi nahin Thor-Thikana malum
maut to tai hai ki kis waqt kahan aani hai
koi karta hi nahin zikr wafadari ka
in dinon ishq mein aasani hi aasani hai
kab ye socha tha kabhi dost ki yun bhi hoga
teri surat teri aawaz se pahchani hai
chain lene hi nahin deti kisi pal mujh ko
roz-e-awwal se mere sath jo hairani hai
ye bhi mumkin hai ki aabaadi ho is se aage
ye jo ta-hadd-e-nazar phailti virani hai
kyun sitare hain kahin aur kahin aansu hain
aankh walon ne yahi ramz nahin jaani hai
taKHt se taKHta bahut dur nahin hota hai
bas yahi baat hamein aap ko batlani hai
dost ki bazm hi wo bazm hai ‘amjad’ ki jahan
aql ko sath mein rakhna baDi nadani hai
sae Dhalne charag jalne lage
log apne gharon ko chalne lage
itni pur-pech hai bhanwar ki girah
jaise nafrat dilon mein palne lage
dur hone lagi jaras ki sada
karwan raste badalne lage
us ke lahje mein barf thi lekin
chhu ke dekha to hath jalne lage
us ke band-e-qaba ke jadu se
sanp se ungliyon mein chalne lage
rah-e-gum-karda taeron ki tarah
phir sitare safar pe chalne lage
phir nigahon mein dhul uDti hai
aks phir aaine badalne lage
us ne aahista se jab pukara mujhe
jhuk ke takne laga har sitara mujhe
tera gham is fishaar-e-shab-o-roz mein
hone deta nahin be-sahaara mujhe
har sitare ki bujhti hui raushni
mere hone ka hai istiara mujhe
ai KHuda koi aisa bhi hai mojaza
jo ki mujh par kare aashkara mujhe
koi suraj nahin koi tara nahin
tu ne kis jhuTpuTe mein utara mujhe
aks-e-imroz mein naqsh-e-diroz mein
ek ishaara tujhe ek ishaara mujhe
hain azal ta abad TuTte aaine
aagahi ne kahan la ke mara mujhe
ye aur baat hai tujh se gila nahin karte
jo zaKHm tu ne diye hain bhara nahin karte
hazar jal liye ghumti phire duniya
tere asir kisi ke hua nahin karte
ye aainon ki tarah dekh-bhaal chahte hain
ki dil bhi TuTen to phir se juDa nahin karte
wafa ki aanch suKHan ka tapak do in ko
dilon ke chaak rafu se sila nahin karte
jahan ho pyar ghalat-fahmiyan bhi hoti hain
so baat baat pe yun dil bura nahin karte
hamein hamari anaen tabah kar dengi
mukalme ka agar silsila nahin karte
jo hum pe guzri hai jaanan wo tum pe bhi guzre
jo dil bhi chahe to aisi dua nahin karte
har ek dua ke muqaddar mein kab huzuri hai
tamam ghunche to ‘amjad’ khila nahin karte
The khwab ek hamare bhi aur tumhaare bhi
par apna khel dikhate rahe sitare bhi
ye zindagi hai yahan is tarah hi hota hai
sabhi ne bojh se lade hain kuchh utare bhi
sawal ye hai ki aapas mein hum milen kaise
hamesha sath to chalte hain do kinare bhi
kisi ka apna mohabbat mein kuchh nahin hota
ki mushtarak hain yahan sud bhi KHasare bhi
bigaD par hai jo tanqid sab baja lekin
tumhaare hisse ke jo kaam the sanware bhi
baDe sukun se Dube the Dubne wale
jo sahilon pe khaDe the bahut pukare bhi
pa jaise rail mein do ajnabi musafir hon
safar mein sath rahe yun to hum tumhaare bhi
yahi sahi teri marzi samajh na pae hum
KHuda gawah ki mubham the kuchh ishaare bhi
yahi to ek hawala hai mere hone ka
yahi giraati hai mujh ko yahi utare bhi
isi zamin mein ek din mujhe bhi sona hai
isi zamin ki amanat hain mere pyare bhi
wo ab jo dekh ke pahchante nahin ‘amjad’
hai kal ki baat ye lagte the kuchh hamare bhi
