Dagmagate Kabhi Qadmon Ko Sambhalte Dekha, Urdu Ghazal By Quaiser Khalid

Dagmagate kabhi qadmon ko sambhalte dekha
rah-e-ulfat pe magar logon ko chalte dekha

nafraten mil gain masum dilon mein akasr
chahaton ko dil-e-saffak mein palte dekha

hausla tha koi maqsad ya saliqa, us ko
waqt ke tund thapeDon mein sambhalte dekha

jin ko pala tha bahaaron ne jahan bhar ki, unhen
aazmaish ki kaDi dhup mein jalte dekha

be-jhijhak chal na saka dasht-e-wafa mein ab tak
rukte dekha kabhi us shoKH ko chalte dekha

sabza-o-gul pe hawa rakhti hai shabnam lekin
phir hawa ko un hi qatron ko kuchalte dekha

shahar ya shahar se bahar nahin, apne ghar mein
hum ne aqdar-e-zamana ko badalte dekha

aazmaish hai, ijazat hai ki majburi hai
zulm ko hum ne yahan phulte-phalte dekha

aatish-e-ishq se bachiye ki yahan hum ne bhi
mom ki tarah se patthar ko pighalte dekha

apne jazbaat to mashhur the lekin hum ne
the jo hoshyar bahut un ko ubalte dekha

Dal di pairon mein us shaKHs ke zanjir yahan
waqt ne jis ko zamane mein uchhalte dekha

buzla-sanji pe bahut naz tha jin ko apni
hum ne un ko bhi yahan zahr ugalte dekha

roz ye mashriq-o-maghrib ka tamasha kyun hai
ugte dekha hai jise us ko hi Dhalte dekha

aa gaya yaad wo bachpan ka zamana 'KHalid'
jab kahin phul se bachchon ko uchhalte dekha
