MORE BYEjaz Farooqi

    vo ek pul thā

    mire aur ajdād ke zamānoñ nuqta-e-ittisāl

    us guzargāhoñ se rivāyatoñ aur hikāyatoñ ke hazār-hā qāfile nikal kar

    na.e zamāne yūrishoñ se mirī bikhartī anā meñ

    ulfat yaqīn aur e'timād ke rang bhar ga.e haiñ

    vo ek pul aaj TuuT kar gahrī ghāTiyoñ meñ girā hai

    ab maiñ khaḌā huuñ

    un gahrī ghāTiyoñ par

    maiñ ek pul huuñ

    vo ek bargad thā

    jis chhāñv meñ ek ThanDī miThās thī

    jis ne jalte sūraj hiddateñ apne jism meñ jazb kar ke

    us sunahrī kirnoñ ko ThanDī shabnam tarah

    merī ujaaḌ āñkhoñ meñ qatra qatra utārā

    vo aaj hiddatoñ ke vafūr se jal gayā

    to ab maiñ ek bargad huuñ

    aane vāloñ ke vāste ek ThanDī chhāñv

    vo ek javvāla thā

    vo bharpūr ziist karne ek sīmābī aarzū

    vo lahū dhaḌkan

    jo raat zulmatoñ pe shab-ḳhūn maar kar

    raushnī aur ummīd ke darīchoñ ko kholtā

    aaj shab saffāk haath

    us ke lahū dhaḌkan ko le uḌā

    aur ab faqat maiñ huuñ

    raat zulmatoñ se panja-fagan

    wo ek pul tha

    mere aur ajdad ke zamanon ka nuqta-e-ittisal

    us ki guzargahon se riwayaton aur hikayaton ke hazar-ha qafile nikal kar

    nae zamane ki yurishon se meri bikharti ana mein

    ulfat yaqin aur e'timad ke rang bhar gae hain

    wo ek pul aaj TuT kar gahri ghaTiyon mein gira hai

    ab main khaDa hun

    un gahri ghaTiyon par

    main ek pul hun

    wo ek bargad tha

    jis ki chhanw mein ek ThanDi miThas thi

    jis ne jalte suraj ki hiddaten apne jism mein jazb kar ke

    us ki sunahri kirnon ko ThanDi shabnam ki tarah

    meri ujaD aankhon mein qatra qatra utara

    wo aaj hiddaton ke wafur se jal gaya

    to ab main hi ek bargad hun

    aane walon ke waste ek ThanDi chhanw

    wo ek jawwala tha

    wo bharpur zist karne ki ek simabi aarzu

    wo lahu ki dhaDkan

    jo raat ki zulmaton pe shab-KHun mar kar

    raushni aur ummid ke darichon ko kholta

    aaj shab ka saffak hath

    us ke lahu ki dhaDkan ko le uDa

    aur ab faqat main hun

    raat ki zulmaton se panja-fagan
