Lakeer Ke Faqeer Poem by Gulzar Hussain

Kuch lakeer ke faqeer kitaab likhte hein,
Kya kitaab aur kya abwaab likhte hein.

Kya padhon aur kya na padhon,
Mehraaj ko bi kuch khowaab likhte hein.

Itna hi toh kafi hai samjhane ko,
Kis kis ko bidaat-e-kharaab likhte hein.

Wo jaan bechi yah jaan chali,
Par kyuon na wo janab likhte hein.


Na ghazal toh na yah marsiya samjhna,
Panjtan ke diwaane betaab likhte hein.

Jo sunaye ranjoor dastaan puraani,
Usko bi wo khataab likhte hein.
