SaKHt-jaani Ka Sahi Afsana Hai, Urdu Ghazal By Muneer Shikohabadi

saKHt-jaani ka sahi afsana hai
shahid-e-tegh-e-zaban dandana hai

maqtal-e-alam mera virana hai
dida-e-bismil charagh-e-KHana hai

sham-e-raushan aariz-e-jaanana hai
KHal-e-mushkin shama ka parwana hai

dil mein aks-e-chehra-e-jaanana hai
aaine ka aaine mein KHana hai

kaun duniya mein rahe diwana hai
ek ujDa sa musafir KHana hai

teri mahfil kaba hai ai shama-ru
taer-e-qibla-numa parwana hai

aankhen malta hun tumhaari zulf se
panja-e-mizhgan ba-rang-e-shana hai

shama-ruon ki tajalli dekhiye
kirmak-e-shab-tab har parwana hai

aab-e-KHanjar kya sharab-e-nab thi
raqs-e-bismil laghzish-e-mastana hai

KHalq-e-alam ko pahunchta hai gazand
nafs-e-ammara sag-e-diwana hai

baada-noshan-e-azal hain ser-chashm
jis taraf dekhen udhar mai-KHana hai

abr aata hai to bikti hai sharab
naqd-e-rahmat hasil-e-mai-KHana hai

ek tere nam ka karta hun zikr
mujh ko wird-e-subha-e-yak-dana hai

khate hain angur pite hain sharab
bas yahi maston ka aab-o-dana hai

kis taraf karte ho sajde zahido
kaba ek ujDa hua but-KHana hai

chashm-e-musa ke hon parde kan mein
lan-tarani ka bayan afsana hai

ThanDe ThanDe sote hain zer-e-zamin
gor apne waste tah-KHana hai

kya bane sauda tera ai KHud-farosh
mol jo hum ne kaha baiana hai

dekhte hain but meri betabiyan
sar bahakna sajda-e-shukrana hai

kya tera aaina-e-ru saf hai
naqd-e-jaan leta yahan jurmana hai

garm nale sard hain ai ham-safir
zahiran kunj-e-qafas KHas-KHana hai

ki mai-e-muft aaj qazi ne halal
fi-sabilillah har mai-KHana hai

iKHtilat apne anasir mein nahin
jo hai mere jism mein begana hai

kya samundar ko dikhaen garmiyan
dozaKH apna ek aatiash-KHana hai

ho gae misl-e-sulaiman ahl-e-ishq
ai pari kya himmat-e-mardana hai

dil hai aaina to askandar hun main
husn ki daulat mera nazrana hai

arsh tak gardun se dekha ai sanam
sat zine ka ye baala-KHana hai

khel jate hain hazaron jaan par
ishq-bazi bazi-e-tiflana hai

jaan deta hun magar aati nahin
maut ko bhi naz-e-mashuqana hai

pate hain naqd-e-zar-e-gul be-hisab
bagh-e-alam us ka daulat-KHana hai

aaj hai mahw-e-shana wo shama-ru
har par-e-mahi par-e-parwana hai

dil kahan ye nafs-e-ammara kahan
aaina pesh sag-e-diwana hai

iffat-e-mashshata kis se ho bayan
panja-e-maryam tumhaara shana hai

mai-kade ke kaam dil se lijiye
KHum ka KHum paimana ka paimana hai

lucknow ka mujh ko sauda hai 'munir'
dil husain-abaad par diwana hai
