kafeel aazer ki shayyiri

dekh lo khwab magar khwab ka charcha na karo
log jal jaayenge suraj ki tamnna na karo
waqt ka kya hai kisi pal bhi badal sakta hai
ho sake tumse toh tum mujhpe bharosa na karo
kirchiyan tuute hue aks ki chubh jaayengi
aur kuch roz abhi aaiina dekha na karo
ajnabi lagne lage khud tumhen apana hi wajuud
apne din raat ko itna bhi akela na karo
khwab bachchon ke khilaono ki tarah hote hain
khwab dekha na karo khwab dikhaya na karo
be-khayali mein kabhi ungaliyan jal jaayengi
raakh guzare huye lamhon ki kureda na karo
mom ke rishte hain garmi se pighal jaayenge
dhuup ke shahr mein 'aazer' ye tamasha na karo

baat nikalegi toh phir duur talak jaayegi
log be_wajah udasi ka sabab puchhenge
ye bhi puchhege ki tum itni pareshan kyun ho
ungaliyaan uthengi sukhe huye baalon ki taraf
ik nazar dekhenge guzare huye saalon ki taraf
chudiyon par bhi kai tanz kiye jaayenge
kaanpate haathon pe bhi fikre kase jaayenge
log zaalim hain har ik baat ka taana denge
baaton baaton mein mera zikr bhi le aayenge
unnki baaton ka zara sa bhi asar mat lena
varna chehre ke taasur se samjh jaayenge
chahe kuch bhi ho savalaat na karna unnse
mere baare mein koi baat na karna unnse
baat nikalegi toh phir duur talak jaayegi

ghaton ki uddasi pii raha hun
main ek gehra samandar ban gaya hun
teri yaadon ke angaaron ko aksar
tasvvur ke labon ko chumta hun
koi pehchan'ne wala nahin hai
bhare bazaar mein tanha khada hun
mera qad kitna ooncha ho gaya hai
falak ki vus'aton[expansion] ko naapta hun
vo yun mujhko bhulana chahte hain
ke jaise main bhi koi haadisa hun
badlte maushmon ki diary se
tere baare mein aksar puuchta hun
kisi ki yaad ke patton ko 'aazer'
hawaon se bachaa kar rakh raha hun
