niind
raat Khuubsurat hai niind kyuN nahiiN aatii
din kii Khashmagi nazrein kho gayii siyaahii meN
aahnii kaRoN kaa shor, beRioN kii jhankaareN
qaidioN kii saaNsoN kii tund-tez aavaazeN
jailaroN kii badkaari, gaalioN ki bauchhaareN
bebasii kii Khaamoshii, Khaamoshi kii faryaadeN, tahnashiin andhere meN
shab ki shoKh doshiizaa Khaardaar taaron ko
aahniiN hisaaroN ko paar kar ke aayii hai
bhar ke apne daaman meN jangaloN kii Khush-buueN
ThandakeN pahaaRoN kii mere paas laayii hai
raat Khuubsurat hai niind kyuN nahiiN aatii
neelguuN jawaaN seena, neelguuN jawaaN baaheN
kahkashaaN kii peshaanii, neem chaaNd ka juuRaa
maKhmalii andhere kaa, pairahan laraztaa hai
waqt ki siyaah zulfeN Khaamoshi ke shaanoN per
Kham-ba-Kham mahaktii haiN aur zamiiN ke hontoN per
narm shabnamii bosay, motioN ke daantoN se KhilKhilaa ke haNste haiN
raat Khuubsurat hai niind kyuN nahiiN aatii
raat peing letii hai, chaaNdnii ke jhuule meN
aasmaan par taare nanhe-nanhe haathoN se
bun rahe hain jaaduu saa
jhingaron ki aavaazeN, kah rahi hain afsaana
duur jail ke baahar baj rahii hai shehnaaii
rail apne pahioN se loriaaN sunaatii hai
raat Khuubsurat hai niind kyuN nahiiN aatii
roz raat ko yuNhii niind meri aankhon se
bewafaaii kartii hai
mujhko chhoR kar tanhaa jail se nikaltii hai
Bambayii kii bastii meN mere ghar ka darvaaza jaa kar KhatKhataati hai
ek nanhe bacche kii ankhRioN ke bachpan meN
miithe miithe KhwaboN ka shahed Ghol detii hai
ik hansiiN parii ban kar paalnaa hilaati hai loriaaN sunaatii hai

THE best poet of the Century.
jaane kahan gaye woh din ?jaane kahan gaye woh shoaara ?
hum sukhan hum nawa jane kiya ho gaye,
zameen kha gaee aasman kaise kaise,
we all are mortal,and follow the path of death,
my heart cries over the death of music mastero JANB NAUSHAD ALI ,who left for eternal abode yesterday the 6th of may 2006.
jane waley tujhe yad karega zamana barson.
i cant write more….
rahim chundrigar
roz raat ko yuNhii niind meri aankhon se
bewafaaii kartii hai
mujhko chhoR kar tanhaa jail se nikaltii hai

sardar sahab ne “patthar ki diwar” aur “ek khuab aur” jaise khubsurat kitabon ko likh kar apna nam amar kar liya hai . baqaul unke kud “mai mar ke amar hojaunga” jo unhaon ne apne Birth day ke pe likhe ek muarra shayeri me kaha tha. wo sach much ke ek tarakki pasand the .
kya kahu aapke nazm ke baare mei..ismei ek pita ki besumar pyar jhalkata hai…
kudrat ke karishmon mein agar wo raat na hoti,to khwabon mein bhi kabhi unse mulaqaat na hoti….
