jaaiye baiThiye hukmraanoN ke biich
aap kyuuN aa gaye ham divaanoN ke biich
(hukmraanoN : rulers)
aur kyaa hai siyaasat ke baazaar meN
kuch khilone saje haiN dukaanoN ke biich
(siyaasat : politics)
thaa jinheN ishq kaa hauslaa uTh gaye
tazkire rah gaye daastoN ke biich
(hauslaa : ambition; tazkire : talks; daastaaN : stories)
ishq ke naam par aur to kyaa hogaa
dushmani ho gayii do gharaanoN ke biich
(gharaane : families)
log baateN banaane pe aise tule
chhup gayii har haqiiqat fasaanoN ke biich
(haqiiqat : reality; fasaane : stories)
jalne vaaloN kii aaheN kahaaN jal sakiiN
ek dhuaaN hai abhii tak makaanoN ke biich
zindagaanii kii qadreN badalne lagiiN
log baNTne lage do zamaanoN ke biich
(qadreN : benchmarks, paradigms)
kam se kam ham meN ye hauslaa to rahaa
zindagii kaaT dii imtihaanoN ke biich
sher-o-fan kii sajii hai nayii anjuman
ham bhii baiThe haiN kuch nau-javaanoN ke biich
(sher-o-fan : poetry; anjuman : gathering)

a great nazm from akhtar saheb,i m gr8 fan of him,words r deeply inspiring for everyone,it should be appreciated by everyone
I pray that everyone has time to contemplate with himself/herself.. Not everyone can express it like Jan sahib, but, each one of us should sense life, its tribulations, and sensitivities with others instead of running past it to the common end.
it was fabulous poem by jan sahab thanking u for giving this poem.
