MORE BYAftab Iqbal Shamim

    mire dukh ahd tavīl hai

    mirā naam lauh-e-firāq par hai likhā huā

    maiñ janm janm se kisī meñ aks-e-mushābahat talāsh meñ

    phir apne ḳhvāb sarāb saath liye hue

    gayā shahar shahar nagar nagar

    thiiñ ajiib bastiyāñ raah meñ merī jiit merī shikast

    kisī dūsre sadāqateñ mirī rāhbar marī rāhzan

    liye saath saath qadam qadam

    kabhī pesh-e-ḳhalvat-ā.īna

    kabhī sub.h-o-shām ḳhilqatoñ ke julūs meñ

    ka.ī zāhiroñ, ka.ī bātinoñ ke badalte ruup meñ munqasim

    mujhe kar ga.iiñ

    maiñ dhuāñ ātish-e-asl

    uḌā aur ḳhud se bichhaḌ gayā

    mujhe har qadam pe lagā ki maiñ

    safar-āzmāñ huuñ magar mujhe mirī samt bhī ḳhabar nahīñ

    maiñ halīf apne ġhanīm

    huuñ jahāñ bhī rāh-e-ziyāñ meñ huuñ

    maiñ ḳhayāl-parvar-e-shauq shahr-e-misāl

    mujhe har maqām pe yuuñ lagā

    ki haqīqatoñ ke sagān-e-kucha-navard mujh pe jhapaT paḌeñge yahīñ kahīñ

    mujhe duniyā-dār pachhāḌ deñge mufāhamat zamīn par

    mire haath bhīge hue sadāoñ ke ḳhauf se

    mirī saañs larzī huī havā machān par

    ye farār thā

    ki anā sāya-o-sā.ebāñ

    liyā jis ne apne bachāv meñ

    maiñ ravāñ rahā kisī be-numūd raushnī ke bahāv meñ

    merā pā-e-shauq-e-sazā kahīñ pe rukā nahīñ

    ye nasheb-e-shām hai aur maiñ huuñ ravāñ-davāñ

    ye nahīñ ki mujh ko amaañ milegī shab-e-abad ke paḌāv meñ

    zarā intizār ki jab vajūd kūza-gar

    mujhe phir se ḳhaak banā chuke

    to ye dekhnā

    ki shabīh-e-shaḳhs-e-digar meñ lauT ke ā.ūñgā

    usī shahr meñ

    mirā naam lauh-e-firāq par hai likhā huā

    mire dukh ahd tavīl hai

    mere dukh ka ahd tawil hai

    mera nam lauh-e-firaq par hai likha hua

    main janm janm se kisi mein aks-e-mushabahat ki talash mein

    phir apne KHwab sarab sath liye hue

    gaya shahar shahar nagar nagar

    thin ajib bastiyan rah mein meri jit meri shikast ki

    kisi dusre ki sadaqaten meri rahbar mari rahzan

    liye sath sath qadam qadam

    kabhi pesh-e-KHalwat-aina

    kabhi subh-o-sham ki KHilqaton ke julus mein

    kai zahiron, kai baatinon ke badalte rup mein munqasim

    mujhe kar gain

    main dhuan sa aatish-e-asl ka

    uDa aur KHud se bichhaD gaya

    mujhe har qadam pe laga ki main

    safar-azman hun magar mujhe meri samt ki bhi KHabar nahin

    main halif apne ghanim ka

    hun jahan bhi rah-e-ziyan mein hun

    main KHayal-parwar-e-shauq shahr-e-misal ka

    mujhe har maqam pe yun laga

    ki haqiqaton ke sagan-e-kucha-naward mujh pe jhapaT paDenge yahin kahin

    mujhe duniya-dar pachhaD denge mufahamat ki zamin par

    mere hath bhige hue sadaon ke KHauf se

    meri sans larzi hui hawa ki machan par

    ye farar tha

    ki ana ka saya-o-saeban

    liya jis ne apne bachaw mein

    main rawan raha kisi be-numud si raushni ke bahaw mein

    mera pa-e-shauq-e-saza kahin pe ruka nahin

    ye nasheb-e-sham hai aur main hun rawan-dawan

    ye nahin ki mujh ko aman milegi shab-e-abad ke paDaw mein

    zara intizar ki jab wajud ka kuza-gar

    mujhe phir se KHak bana chuke

    to ye dekhna

    ki shabih-e-shaKHs-e-digar mein lauT ke aaunga

    usi shahr mein

    mera nam lauh-e-firaq par hai likha hua

    mere dukh ka ahd tawil hai
