"लाल रंग आशिक़ाना"

इश्क की गलियों में जो फ़नकार जिया करते हैं, 

वो आशिकी से यूँही दर बदर शिकायतें नहीं किया करते हैं, 

वक़्त के पिंजरे में कैद वो चंद घड़ियाँ हैं , 

दिल-ए-बेताब ने लिखी उस पर आज वो गज़ल है,

तिलिस्म-ए-मोहब्बत झुककर सजदा जिंदगी से नहीं किया करती है , 

ये माना जिंदगी चार दिन की आखिरी हिचक है, 

सिमट गईं वो यादें खामोश उस पल के उजियारे जो हैं, 

वक़्त गुज़र जाने से अंदाज़ कहाँ बदलते हैं?

शोक मनाने ही सही रंजिश जाने देना तो आज लिखी है, 

कुछ तो सही कर्ब के जनाज़ा ही उठ जाए आज है, 

सुना है आशिकों की महफ़िल में रब्त का सौदा होता है, 

हकीकत ने बयान कर दिया आख़िर या ख़ुदा ये माजरा क्या है?

आसूं बहा देने का जिगरा तो रखते हैं, 

खामोशी में जो वो आँखें बयान करती है, 

आशिकी यूँही गुलाम कर जाती है, 

इश्क़-ए-जाम नफ़रतों में प्यार की बस्तियाँ बसा करती हैं,

मकबरा तो रईसियत की नज़ाकत में लिखे चंद अफ़साने हैं , 

हद से गुज़रने को बेकरारी उसके तसव्वुर में बसे रहना कहते हैं,

ये वो हकीकत है जिसे लोग तबाही कहते हैं, 

मुड़कर कर देखा तो इश्क़ ये माना है,

सितारों से आगे जहां पैग़ाम ख़ुद इश्क़ के इम्तिहाँ लेते हैं, 

झुकी नजरों से सैकड़ों कारवां मुकम्मल जहां नहीं होते हैं, 

तेरा, मेरी जिंदगी में आना इस कदर नियति ने लिखा है, 

कि पूनम के चाँद की वो बरकत तुझ पर ही है, 

आशिकी तो सिर्फ एक बार हुआ करती है, 

बाकी तो पोंछ कर अश्क अपनी आँखों से हसना एक हकीकत है,

इश्क की बेख़याली में मसरूफ तो बहुत हुआ करते  ऐ मोहब्बत में हैं, 

चंद घड़ियाँ यूंही बार-बार फ़ना होकर दिल ए कब्र  तुझमें है, 

हसने और हंसाने का मंज़र आफ़्ताब कब बन गए हैं?, मोहब्बत यूंही बार-बार गुलों में शब-ए-ग़म  अब कारोबार हैं, 

जो जल कर राख ना हुआ उसमें क्या तपिश है  ?, 

जो शमा से परवाना न बना उसमें क्या कशिश है ?,

मोहब्बत हुआ करती हर रोज़ बार बार जिनको है , 

मरने और मिटाने के मकबरे रास आये इनको है , 

ऐसा क्या तरन्नुम कयामत की रात का हुजूर है ?, 

वक़्त की बेख़याली में जो आशिकी में पड़ा करते हैं जिनका दस्तूर है, 

ऐसा बेपनहा इसक क्या  ये फितूरी है?, 

चंद लम्हों की तबाही ये क्या घर कर गई है ?, 

अब तो आशिकी बात-बात पर गौर फरमाती है, 

बिकने और बिकाने की आंख मिचौली ना समझो को एहसास दिलाती है, 

ख़ुदा का खौफ तो हो ये क्या मोहब्बत बार बार जो अब ज़ुल्म है, 

कयामत की रात तो अब ख्वाहिशों में गिरफ़्तार है .. 

मोहब्बत का फैसला तो ख़ुदा की इबादत है, 

पास तो वो गुज़रा हुआ वक़्त है, दूर तो ज़माना है,

इश्क की गलियों में जो फ़नकार जिया करते हैं, 

वो आशिकी से यूँही दर बदर रुसवा नहीं हुआ करते हैं ..
