Koi sunne ko awaaz bhi hai!

Yeh kaisi aahein bharta hun

Yeh kaisi fughahein karta hun

Jab dost hi hogaye dushman apne

Phir kyun mein jiya karta hun!

Gham ke andhere baadal ki

Barish mein bheega beitha hun

Jab fasal hi hogayi barbaad apni

Kyun barish ki tamanna karta hun!

Patthar ki lakeerein kehti hain

Yeh hashar bhi tera hoyega

Dushman toh Dushman hoga hi

Par dost bhi dushman hoyega!

Dharti pe zamin ki beitha hun

Par chaand ko dekha karta hun

Jab taare saare toot gaye

Kyun chaand ko dekha karta hun?

Dhadkan hai dil par bojh bani

Awaaz zuban ki chup chup hai

Duniya ki haalat dekhne ko

Khamosh nigahein rakhta hun!

Kehne ko hai baat bahut

Par kehna bhi paana mushkil hai

Hum khaamosh zuban se kehte hain

Par tumko samjhana mushkil hai!

Duniya ki udhed-bun mein khoya

Bas apne ooper hansta hun

Duniya ke diye in zakhmon ko

Inaam banakar rakhta hun!

Kismat ke kiye in sitamon ki

Kismat se shikayat karta hun

Aankhon se hamesha hansta hun

Par dil mein roya karta hun!

Gar zakham diye the mujhko yeh

Kya inka koi ilaaj bhi hai

Ek pal baazigar hai woh

Dooje mein mohtaaj bhi hai!

Yeh mana humne bhi hai khuda

Par ismein chupa ik raaz bhi hai

Masjid ke khaali darichon mein

Koi sunne ko awaaz bhi hai!

Apni duniya mein hun bas

Apni duniya mein rehta hun

Sabse hanskar milta hun

Par tanhayi mein rota hun!

- Khan M. Asim...30-03-2004...4:30PM... Well thought to post one of my old poem as nowadays i hardly write, well, its not here for critical review as i wrote it long back, and is in very childish language but won't edit it as i have some memories behind these lines, editing lines in the poem means erasing old memories!
