جوہر نہیں ہمارے ہیں صیاد پر کھلے — حیدر علی آتش

Jauhar nahin hamaare hain saiyyaad par khule

Jauhar nahin hamaare hain saiyyaad par khule
Le kar qafas ko uR gaye rakha jo par khule
Sheeshe sharāb ke raheñ aathooñ pahar khule
Aisa ghare ke phir na kabhi abr-e-tar khule
Kuchh to hameñ haqeeqat-e-shams-o-qamar khule
Kis kaj-kulah ke ishq mein phirte hain sar khule
Insaaf ko hain deeda-e-ahl-e-nazar khule
Parda uThā ke parda-e-shams-o-qamar khule
Rangrez ki dukan mein bhare hoñ hazār rang
Tarh wo hai jo yaar ki dastaar par khule
Kya cheez hai ibārat-e-rangeeñ mein sharh-e-shauq
Khat ki tarah tabī'at-e-basta agar khule
Jo chaahein yaar se kaheñ aghyār gham nahin
Khwaja ko hain ghulām ke aib-o-hunar khule
Haiwāñ par aadmi ko sharaf-e-nutq se hua
Shukr-e-khudā kare jo zabān-e-bashar khule
Yusuf ki ek dukan mein na tu ne talash ki
Bazaar kaun kaun se ae be-khabar khule
Shireeñ-dahan se tere ta'ajjub hai guftugu
I'jāz hai agar girah-e-naishekkar khule
KaT jaae wo zabāñ na ho jis se dua-e-khair
PhuTe wo aaṅkh jo keh na waqt-e-sahar khule
Kotah hai is qadar mere qad par rida-e-aish
Ḍhānkuñ jo pāooñ ko to yaqeeñ hai ke sar khule
Qātil jazā-e-khair mile teri tegh ko
Zakhmōñ ke muñh khule nahin jannat ke dar khule
Fasl-e-bahār āi hai chaltā hai daur-e-jām
Mugh ki dukan sham khule ya sahar khule
Paposh ham ne maari hai dastaar-o-tāj par
Sauda-e-zulf-e-yaar mein rehte hain sar khule
Kaif-e-sharāb-e-nāb ka anjām ho ba-khair
Shalwār-band-e-sāqi-e-rashk-e-qamar khule
Nā-khwānda sharh-e-shauq jalāe gaye khutoot
Bandhe gaye wo jo keh mere nāma-bar khule
Chāhe safā to saath-e-tahārat ke zikr kar
Parhez kar to tujh ko dawā ka asar khule
Hans kar dikhaae daant jo ham ko to kya hua
Le leejiye jo qeemat-e-silk-e-gauhar khule
Kehta huñ raaz-e-ishq magar saath shart ke
Kānoñ hi tak rahe na zabān ko khabar khule
Mushtāq bandishoñ ke hain khwaaboñ ko chāhiye
Bandhwayeñ shā'iroñ se jo un ki kamar khule
Rukti na is se choT na chalti ye qātilā
Haathōñ se tere jauhar-e-tegh-o-sipar khule
Matlab na sar-nawisht ka samjhā to shukr kar
Deewana ho jo haal-e-qazā-o-qadar khule
Chalna paRega yaar ki khidmat mein sar ke bal
Samjhe ho kya jo baiThe ho Atish! kamar khule
