Ghareeb ka yeh ghareeb sar hai

- Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi (2021)

Kabhi ye shiree'n ke ghar mila hai
kabhi ye rahib ke ghar gaya hai
kabhi shajar pe rasan se baandha
kabhi ye sandooq mein rakha hai
na jaane iska safar hai kaisa
nahi hai mazloom koi aisa

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

1. Hai reesh jiski lahu mein doobi
ragein bhi sukhi hui hai jiski
bhari hai zulfo mein khaak haaye
kate hai lab aur jabee'n hai zakhmi
ayaa'n hai chehre se ghum bala ke
ho jaise maara rula rula ke

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

2. Chala tha jis waqt ispe khanjar
tha god mein fatima ki yeh sar
khadi thi sattar(70) qadam pe zainab
gira ye sar jab zamee'n pe kat kar
uthaya zulfo'n se shimr ne sar
tapak raha tha lahoo zamee'n par

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

3. Sawaar nok e sina pe ho kar
chala hai karbobala se yeh sar
nazar hai akbar ki sar ki janib
ajeeb ghurbat ka hai yeh manzar
kare ye akbar se jab bhi baatein
to khoon roti hai iski aankhein

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

4. Nazar pade jab behen ke sar par
pukare abbas ko tadap kar
tamache jab bhi sakina khaye
zamee'n pe gir jaye haaye ye sar
koi jo abid pe zulm dhaye
pukare naize se haaye haaye

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

5. Giri thi naaqe se jab sakina
wahi'n ye sar bhi theher gaya tha
nazar na aayi jab isko beti
tadap ke zainab ki simt dekha
kaha ye zainab ne jald jao
meri sakina ko dhundh lao

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

6. Ye sar jo khuli ke haath aaya
ajeeb zalim ne zulm dhaya
ghar uske zahra tadap ke pohchi
jab usne tandoor mein chupaya
kiye jo Zahra ne bayn ro kar
tadap raha tha Hussain ka sar

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

7. Sitam ye darbaar mein hua tha
ghareeb sar tasht mein rakha tha
yazeed dandaan e shahe dee'n par
chhadi ko has has ke maarta tha
sakina abid ko dekhti thi
pidar ki ghurbat pe ro rahi thi

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..

8. Hai shaam ki qaid ka yeh manzar
mila sakina ko baap ka sar
raza o zeeshan thi qayamat
kaha sakina ne jab lipat kar
naseeb ko hogaya hamara
hai seene pe sar tumhara

ghareeb ka ye ghareeb sar hai
jo dar ba dar hai..
