    Interesting Fact

    (During the curfew order in Karachi, the poets arrived at a mushaira. What happened to these poets is described in this poem.)

    kyā jaane us zarīf ke kyā dil meñ aa.ī thī

    curfew meñ jis ne mahfil-e-sherī sajā.ī thī

    allāh aisā zauq jahannam meñ Daal de

    curfew meñ shā.iroñ ko jo ghar se nikāl de

    aise meñ jab ki shahr ke sab rāste hoñ band

    saḌkoñ pe aa ga.e the ye bā-zauq shar-pasand

    aise meñ jab ki ghar se nikalnā muhāl thā

    lekin ye shā.iroñ anā savāl thā

    sherī-mahāz ḳhāna-e-shā.er se duur thā

    ka.aba meñ hājiyoñ ko pahuñchnā zarūr thā

    shā.ir ravāñ the sher ke chāqū liye hue

    dil meñ ḳhayāl-e-ḳhidmat-e-urdu liye hue

    zor-e-qalam ke saath sipāh-e-riyāz thī

    qānūn haath meñ thā baġhal meñ bayāz thī

    galiyoñ meñ qatl-o-ḳhūñ thā saḌak par fasād thā

    shā.ir ba-zor-e-fikr sharīk-e-jihād thā

    kaisī nikal rahī thī sadā gun-machine se

    jaise kisī ko daad mile sāma.īn se

    shā.ir bayāz laa.e the sandūq tarah

    misre ugal rahe the vo bandūq tarah

    jab firing ahl-e-suḳhan huī tamām

    ye ḳhidmat-e-adab police ne sila diyā

    kuchh shā.iroñ ko road pe murġhā banā diyā

    kuchh kohna-mashq bhī the sujūd-o-rukū meñ

    jabran unheñ paḌhāyā gayā thā shurūa meñ

    tarhī mushā.ere samāñ de rahe the vo

    ik misra-e-tarah pe azaañ de rahe the vo

    kuchh shā.iroñ ko naġhma-sarā.ī fikr thī

    sadr-e-mushā.ira ko rihā.ī fikr thī

    jab shā.iroñ ke haath sharīk-e-duā hue

    curfew vaqt ḳhatm huā tab rihā hue

    sab apne apne ghar ga.e is hāv-hū ke ba.ad

    shā.ir-azīm hotā hai har curfew ke ba.ad

    kya jaane us zarif ke kya dil mein aai thi

    curfew mein jis ne mahfil-e-sheri sajai thi

    allah aisa zauq jahannam mein Dal de

    curfew mein shairon ko jo ghar se nikal de

    aise mein jab ki shahr ke sab raste hon band

    saDkon pe aa gae the ye ba-zauq shar-pasand

    aise mein jab ki ghar se nikalna muhaal tha

    lekin ye shairon ki ana ka sawal tha

    sheri-mahaz KHana-e-shaer se dur tha

    kaba mein hajiyon ko pahunchna zarur tha

    shair rawan the sher ke chaqu liye hue

    dil mein KHayal-e-KHidmat-e-urdu liye hue

    zor-e-qalam ke sath sipah-e-riyaz thi

    qanun hath mein tha baghal mein bayaz thi

    galiyon mein qatl-o-KHun tha saDak par fasad tha

    shair ba-zor-e-fikr sharik-e-jihad tha

    kaisi nikal rahi thi sada gun-machine se

    jaise kisi ko dad mile samain se

    shair bayaz lae the sanduq ki tarah

    misre ugal rahe the wo banduq ki tarah

    jab firing ahl-e-suKHan ki hui tamam

    ye KHidmat-e-adab ka police ne sila diya

    kuchh shairon ko road pe murgha bana diya

    kuchh kohna-mashq bhi the sujud-o-ruku mein

    jabran unhen paDhaya gaya tha shurua mein

    tarhi mushaere ka saman de rahe the wo

    ek misra-e-tarah pe azan de rahe the wo

    kuchh shairon ko naghma-sarai ki fikr thi

    sadr-e-mushaira ko rihai ki fikr thi

    jab shairon ke hath sharik-e-dua hue

    curfew ka waqt KHatm hua tab riha hue

    sab apne apne ghar gae is haw-hu ke baad

    shair-azim hota hai har curfew ke baad
