KHwab

MORE BYParveen Shakir

    khule pāniyoñ meñ ghirī laḌkiyāñ

    narm lahroñ ke chhīñTe uḌātī huī

    bāt-be-bāt hañstī huī

    apne ḳhvāboñ ke shahzādoñ tazkira kar rahī thiiñ

    jo ḳhāmosh thiiñ

    un āñkhoñ meñ bhī muskurāhaT tahrīr thī

    un ke hoñToñ ko bhī an-kahe ḳhvāb zā.iqa chūmtā thaa!

    aane vaale na.e mausamoñ ke sabhī pairahan nīlmīñ ho chuke the!

    duur sāhil pe baiThī huī ek nannhī bachchī

    hamārī hañsī aur maujoñ ke āhañg se be-ḳhabar

    ret se ek nanhā gharauñdā banāne meñ masrūf thī

    aur maiñ sochtī thī

    ḳhudā-yā! ye ham laḌkiyāñ

    kachchī umroñ se ḳhvāb kyuuñ dekhnā chāhtī haiñ

    ḳhvāb hukmarānī meñ kitnā tasalsul rahā hai!

    khule paniyon mein ghiri laDkiyan

    narm lahron ke chhinTe uDati hui

    baat-be-baat hansti hui

    apne KHwabon ke shahzadon ka tazkira kar rahi thin

    jo KHamosh thin

    un ki aankhon mein bhi muskurahaT ki tahrir thi

    un ke honTon ko bhi an-kahe KHwab ka zaiqa chumta tha!

    aane wale nae mausamon ke sabhi pairahan nilmin ho chuke the!

    dur sahil pe baiThi hui ek nannhi si bachchi

    hamari hansi aur maujon ke aahang se be-KHabar

    ret se ek nanha gharaunda banane mein masruf thi

    aur main sochti thi

    KHuda-ya! ye hum laDkiyan

    kachchi umron se hi KHwab kyun dekhna chahti hain

    KHwab ki hukmarani mein kitna tasalsul raha hai!
