Do Chiragh: Ek Taaq Per, EK Maqtal Mein

(Picture by Jafar Shameem)

Ek Chiragh Taaq Per Hai

Yeh  khushiyon ka chiragh taaq per hai

Uski lao ki roshani se khil jaati hai mehfil

Chamak dhamak ke saye mein mil jaate hain dil

Nazar aati khushi her chehron per, hai woh aam ya bismil 

Ho  jaate hain purjosh, bhool kar zindagi ki kashmakash aur mushkil

Door hoti hai khalish aur ikhtelaf, hote hain mukhatib ehtram ke saath

Rehna hai thoda hai safar lamba, karen  zindagi ki chinauti ek saath

Ek Chiragh jal raha hai Maqtal mein

Yeh ek gham ka chiragh hai maqtal mein

Uski roshni mein  andheron ka dar hai

Lao dheemi hai usme tamtamahat hai

Khula maidan hai chal raha raat ka jhonka 

Kisi bhi waqt use besabri se bhujna hoga 

Nahin bujhegi un shaheedon ki yaaden

Jinki Qabr per padhte hain musalsal duyayen

Har aansu mein chupi hai unki kahani 

Her dil ko chu leti hai muaziz Qurbani

Zindagi dedi  bunyadi usuloon  ki wajah

Her Qadam per dikha diya Raasta  

Kuch pal khushi ke, kuch pal gham ke,

Zindagi ka safar, dono rangon se bhara hai.

Taq par khushiyon ka chiragh jalta rahe,

Maktal mein gham ka chiragh jalate rahen.
