MORE BYAhmad Zafar

    hanūt jismoñ ke kār-ḳhāne meñ

    laash rakkhī huī hai kis

    safed kāġhaz badan pe kis ne

    sitam ke sab naam likh diye haiñ

    ye phuul kal tak sahar ke āñgan meñ khil rahā thā

    magar siyāhī ke tañg halqoñ meñ ghir gayā thaa!

    ki ḳhvāb zanjīr ban ga.e the

    azaab ta.abīr ban ga.e the

    kitāb gard-posh jaise shikasta ho kar bikhar gayā ho

    ye kis ibārat ke dā.ere ab kisī shahādat ke nāma-bar haiñ

    falak se pūchhūñ to kaise pūchhūñ

    ki marne vaale ne zindagī talāsh thī

    to maut taqdīr kyuuñ huī thī

    vo haath kab tak qalam na hoñge

    jo zard jismoñ ko nīl-gūñ zaḳhm de rahe haiñ

    hanut jismon ke kar-KHane mein

    lash rakkhi hui hai kis ki

    safed kaghaz badan pe kis ne

    sitam ke sab nam likh diye hain

    ye phul kal tak sahar ke aangan mein khil raha tha

    magar siyahi ke tang halqon mein ghir gaya tha!

    ki KHwab zanjir ban gae the

    azab tabir ban gae the

    kitab ka gard-posh jaise shikasta ho kar bikhar gaya ho

    ye kis ibarat ke daere ab kisi shahadat ke nama-bar hain

    falak se puchhun to kaise puchhun

    ki marne wale ne zindagi ki talash ki thi

    to maut taqdir kyun hui thi

    wo hath kab tak qalam na honge

    jo zard jismon ko nil-gun zaKHm de rahe hain
