Sad Shayari by Bashir Badr

Jab Se Girohband Hain Ye Khushbooyen,
Gaata Hua, Vo Jhoomta Sawan Nahi Raha,
Dene Lage Daad Yahaan Chutkalo Ko Log,
Geeton Ko GunGunaane Ka Ab Mann Nahi Raha.

***

Aaj Kal Hum Log Bachon Ki Tarah Ladne Lage,
Chabiyon Vale Khilono Ki Tarah Ladne Lage,
Thoonth Ki Tarah Akaaran Jindgi Jeete Rahe,
Jab Chali Aandhi To Patton Ki Tarah Ladne Lage,
Kaun Sa Satsang Sunkar Aaye The Basti Ke Log,
Laut-te Hi Do Kabilon Ki Tarah Ladne Lage,
Hum Faqat Satranj Ki Chaalen Hain Unke Vaste,
Di Zara Si Sheh To Mohron Ki Tarah Ladne Lage.

Khud Ko Apne Se Alag Kar, Jab Kabhi Sochun Hu Main,
Door Tak, Bas Door Tak Bikhra Hua Payun Hu Main,

Lamha Lamha Foot-ta Hai, Mujhme Ek Jvalamukhi,
Apne Ahsasaat Ki Aanch Me Jhulsoon Hu Main,

Haan Vo Sooraj Hai Main Bhi To Us-se Kum Nahi,
Roz Nikloon Hu Subah Ko, Shaam Ko Dooboon Hu Main,

Mujhko Yeh Maloom Hai Vo Ek Jhonka Tha Magar,
Kaisa Pagal Hu Jo Ab Tak Raasta Dekhoon Hu Main,

Hai Bagawat Shayari, Khud Se Ho Ya Fir Vaqat Se,
Ek Baagi Ki Tarah Har Sher Se JuJhoon Hu Main.
