Interesting Fact
Vol 84, May 1973
raat kaafī lambī thī duur tak thā tanhā maiñ
ik zarā se roġhan par kitnā jaltā-bujhtā maiñ
sab nishān qadmoñ ke miT ga.e the sāhil se
kis ke vāste āḳhir Dūbtā ubhartā maiñ
merā hī badan lekin buuñd buuñd ko tarsā
dast aur sahrā par abr ban ke barsā maiñ
adh-jale se kāġhaz par jaise harf raushan hoñ
us kī koshishoñ par bhī zehn se na utrā maiñ
donoñ shakloñ meñ apne haath kuchh nahīñ aayā
kitnī baar simTā maiñ kitnī baar phailā maiñ
zindagī ke āñgan meñ dhuup hī nahīñ utrī
apne sard kamre se kitnī baar niklā maiñ
aaj tak koī kashtī is taraf nahīñ aa.ī
pāniyoñ ke ghere meñ aisā huuñ jazīra maiñ
kāTtā thā har manzar dūsre manāzir ko
koī manzar āñkhoñ meñ kis tarah se bhartā maiñ
raat kafi lambi thi dur tak tha tanha main
ek zara se roghan par kitna jalta-bujhta main
sab nishan qadmon ke miT gae the sahil se
kis ke waste aaKHir Dubta ubharta main
mera hi badan lekin bund bund ko tarsa
dast aur sahra par abr ban ke barsa main
adh-jale se kaghaz par jaise harf raushan hon
us ki koshishon par bhi zehn se na utra main
donon shaklon mein apne hath kuchh nahin aaya
kitni bar simTa main kitni bar phaila main
zindagi ke aangan mein dhup hi nahin utri
apne sard kamre se kitni bar nikla main
aaj tak koi kashti is taraf nahin aai
paniyon ke ghere mein aisa hun jazira main
kaTta tha har manzar dusre manazir ko
koi manzar aankhon mein kis tarah se bharta main
