Fan Ka Chiraagh !

 

Kayi fankaaron ko dekha, Kayi kirdaaron mein zinda-dili dekhi,

Magar hunar-e-adaakari mein,Aap jaisaa aaj tak koi naa dikha,

Aankh ke jhapakte hi badal jaate hain,Aksar vo chehre-e-alam, 

Aapke roobaru,Bhatki hui shaksiyat ko apnaa wajood mil jaata..

Aapki buland sadaa-e-rubaab, Lehje mein aisa jadu-e-asar tha, 

Ke lafz sirf kahe nahin jaate,Dil ko cheer kar androoni utar jaate,

Aapki zaat-o-sifaat aur apke ohde ka,Woh ba-waqaar milan tha, 

Jo har kashish-e-guftagu ko nayee rooh-e-hunar aata kar jaata..

Aapki sirf ek jhalak-e-huzoori, Rangmanch ko jaan bakhsh deti, 

Paikar-e-junoon ko sirf ada nahin kiya, Usmein mukammal jiya,

Kabhi dard ban kar ubhre,Kabhi shiddat-e-ehsaas ki lau bankar,

Khamosh isharon se sab keh gaye, Jo kabhi alfaaz na keh saka..

Kaun hai akhir tarz mein doob,Apna aks peshkash se ubhar laya,

Jis shakhs ne fan ko sirf peshaa nahin,Ibaadat-e-amal sa maana, 

Vo parda uthne par nahin, Parda girne baad bhi dil mein samaya,

Andaz-e-Izhaar naslon ke dilon mein dastan-e-umar sa reh gaya..

Aapse seekha humne andaaz-e-bayaan par ikhtiyar kya hota hai, 

Lafzon mein jaan phoonkna, Jazbaat ko pehchanna kya hota hai,

Zindagi ki soorat kirdaron ki nigah-e-nazar se bakhubi samajhna, 

Aur sukoot-e-lab mein posheeda afsan ko padhna kaisa hota hai..

Mehfil ko zaroor tanha choda, Uski dehleej par sada chavi milegi,

Kisi jhalak mein aapki goonj, Tanhayi mein aap hi ki sohbat milegi,

Aapki azmat-e-khidmat se, Mazar-o-kafan faqr se roshan hogaa,

Nana ji..

Bin aapke sahn suna rahega,Jabtak parda-e-kahani zinda rahegi !
