MORE BYMuneer Ahmad Firdaus

    jab raat

    ḳhvāboñ ke silsile le kar utartī hai

    to shab-zāde apne ḳhvāb sajā kar so jaate haiñ

    magar merī vīrān ā.ankhoñ se

    niiñd ye kah kar ruḳhsat ho jaatī hai

    ki mujhe sirf un ā.ankhoñ meñ raat kāTnī hai

    jahāñ ḳhvāboñ hukmarānī hai

    magar use ye kaun batā.e ki

    merā ḳhvāb ek muddat se lāpata hai

    tab se merī ā.ankhoñ ne niiñd zā.iqa nahīñ chakhā

    maiñ ne shab ko apne gum-shuda ḳhvāb alāmateñ batā.īñ

    to vo dhīre se muskurā aur bolī:

    ''maiñ ne sab se anmol ḳhvāb tumhārī ā.ankhoñ meñ sajāyā thā''

    ye kah kar shab ne har aañkh meñ chhāpe maare

    magar merā ḳhvāb barāmad na huā

    is ne kahā:

    ''tumhārā ḳhvāb tumhāre andar se churāyā gayā hai

    agar tum apnī nasl ko be-ḳhvābī ke azaab se bachānā chāhte ho

    to tumheñ apnā ḳhvāb ḳhud DhūñDhnā paḌegā''

    tab se maiñ rat-jagoñ nigahbānī meñ

    apne andar se

    apnā chorī-shuda ḳhvāb talāsh kar rahā huuñ

    jab raat

    KHwabon ke silsile le kar utarti hai

    to shab-zade apne KHwab saja kar so jate hain

    magar meri viran aaankhon se

    nind ye kah kar ruKHsat ho jati hai

    ki mujhe sirf un aaankhon mein raat kaTni hai

    jahan KHwabon ki hukmarani hai

    magar use ye kaun batae ki

    mera KHwab ek muddat se lapata hai

    tab se meri aaankhon ne nind ka zaiqa nahin chakha

    main ne shab ko apne gum-shuda KHwab ki alamaten batain

    to wo dhire se muskura di aur boli:

    main ne sab se anmol KHwab tumhaari aaankhon mein sajaya tha

    ye kah kar shab ne har aankh mein chhape mare

    magar mera KHwab baramad na hua

    is ne kaha:

    tumhaara KHwab tumhaare andar se churaya gaya hai

    agar tum apni nasl ko be-KHwabi ke azab se bachana chahte ho

    to tumhein apna KHwab KHud hi DhunDhna paDega

    tab se main rat-jagon ki nigahbani mein

    apne andar se

    apna chori-shuda KHwab talash kar raha hun
