“Doobna

Dard mein hain doobe hum,
koi is marz se nijaat de.
Karz mein hain doobe hum,
koi is garz se nikaal de.

Marz mein hain doobe hum,
koi is farz se nikaal de.
De koi malaal de,
wo jo bhi de, sab halaal de.

Na ho kuchh, toh sabab de,
na mile, toh nikaal de.
Logon ko ab misaal de,
mujhe gurbat de, maragh de.

Ya falsafa ka chiraag de,
de magar tu raag de.
Rooh-ba-rooh ajaab de.

Andhere ka azaab hai,
har taraf ek khwaab hai.
Doobe magar khwaab mein,
har khwaab mahaz ek raag hai.
Khwabon ka shayad koi raaz hai.

Be-khudi ka inaam hai,
sarparast yahan gumnaam hai.
Laqab hain, alfaaz hain,
shayad ye jahannum hai,
gunaah yahan sab maaf hai.

Jhoothe hain log yahan,
shaytan ka ijaad hai.
Sab yahan marg hai,
dimaag sabka saaf hai.
Gustakhiyan bhi yahan maaf hain.

Ye sab hain aafatein,
hain meri ye aadatein.

Doobna junoon hai,
isi pe mujhko guroor hai.
Maajhi mera Firaun hai,
aakhir mein sab maun hai.

Arsh se sawal hai,
farsh bhi jawal hai.
Mukaddar bhi hamnashi,
kashmakash mein zindagi hai,
ya kahun dilkashi hai.

Ghamgeen hai mizaaz yahan,
shayad khudkashi hai.”
― Amaan Shaikh, Iktarfa: imperfectly a perfect failure
