    Interesting Fact

    (January, 1990)

    jo tasvīr kartā hai

    jo maiñ tahrīr kartā huuñ

    na terā hai na merā hai

    magar apnā hai ye jab tak

    ise paḌhne meñ kitnī der lagtī hai

    abhī māhaul ko chāroñ taraf se

    habs ke sahrā ne gherā hai

    magar kab tak

    havā chalne meñ kitnī der lagtī hai

    koī zanjīr hai shāyad hamāre paañv meñ

    aur raah meñ kaafī añdherā hai

    magar kab tak

    diyā jalne meñ kitnī der lagtī hai

    havā.eñ bādbānoñ se ulajhtī aur kahīñ nāqa-savāroñ ko

    koī paiġhām detī shaam ke āñchal ko thāme

    sāhiloñ samt aatī haiñ

    parinde dā.eroñ meñ uḌte phirte

    abr chādar meñ lipTe

    rang barsāte

    fazāoñ meñ safar dāstāñ likhte

    Thikānoñ taraf jaate hue

    manzar ko apne aks meñ tabdīl karte haiñ

    achānak sar-phirī maujeñ

    mujhe chhū kar guzar jaatī haiñ

    aur maiñ apne talvoñ se nikaltī sansanātī riit sargoshiyāñ

    mahsūs kartā huuñ

    vahī maiñ huuñ vahī asbāb-e-vahshat haiñ vahī sāhil

    vahī hai vahī hañstī huī āñkheñ

    tirī āñkhoñ meñ rangoñ aur ḳhvāboñ ke jazīre

    jagmagāte haiñ

    sar-e-mizhgāñ rupahlī sā.atoñ ke isti.āre muskurāte haiñ

    hañsī mahtāb bantī hai

    phir is mahtāb ke chāroñ taraf āvāz haala ubhartā hai

    aur is haale meñ terī uñgliyāñ

    nādīda manzar ko tilism-e-ḳhvāb se āzād kartī haiñ

    tire hāthoñ jumbish

    dhuup chhāñv se dhanak tartīb de kar

    ḳhālī tasvīroñ meñ ḳhadd-o-ḳhāl ko ābād kartī hai

    tirī palkeñ jhapaktī haiñ

    sitāre se sitāra aan miltā hai

    ki jaise shaam hote

    subuk āsār lahroñ meñ

    kināre se kināra aan miltā hai

    ye jo kuchh hai

    bahut ḳhūbsūrat hai

    magar us ke liye hai

    jo ye sab mahsūs kartā hai

    tujhe mālūm bhī ho jaa.e to kyā farq paḌtā hai

    abhī din thakā haarā musāfir dhuup ke ḳheme sameTe

    duur paanī meñ utarne ke liye

    be-tāb hai dekho

    ye niilā āsmāñ

    apnī garāñ ḳhvābī meñ ḳhud ġharqāb hai dekho

    na jaane kyoñ

    samundar dekhne vāloñ ko

    sūraj Dūbne ḳhauf rahtā hai

    koī hai jis ko ism-e-āb aatā ho

    kināroñ tarah har lamha kaT girtā ho

    zer-e-āb aatā ho

    samundar āsmāñ rāhdārī hai

    magar is rāhdārī tak pahuñchne koī rasta

    baḌī mushkil se miltā hai

    ye ism-e-āb

    sāhil par khaḌe nazzāra۔bīnoñ samajh meñ kis tarah aa.e

    ki ye to Dūbne vāloñ pe bhī

    mushkil se khultā hai

    magar kab tak

    ise khulne meñ kitnī der lagtī hai

    jo tu taswir karta hai

    jo main tahrir karta hun

    na tera hai na mera hai

    magar apna hai ye jab tak

    ise paDhne mein kitni der lagti hai

    abhi mahaul ko chaaron taraf se

    habs ke sahra ne ghera hai

    magar kab tak

    hawa chalne mein kitni der lagti hai

    koi zanjir hai shayad hamare panw mein

    aur rah mein kafi andhera hai

    magar kab tak

    diya jalne mein kitni der lagti hai

    hawaen baadbanon se ulajhti aur kahin naqa-sawaron ko

    koi paigham deti sham ke aanchal ko thame

    sahilon ki samt aati hain

    parinde daeron mein uDte phirte

    abr ki chadar mein lipTe

    rang barsate

    fazaon mein safar ki dastan likhte

    Thikanon ki taraf jate hue

    manzar ko apne aks mein tabdil karte hain

    achanak sar-phiri maujen

    mujhe chhu kar guzar jati hain

    aur main apne talwon se nikalti sansanati rit ki sargoshiyan

    mahsus karta hun

    wahi main hun wahi asbab-e-wahshat hain wahi sahil

    wahi tu hai wahi hansti hui aankhen

    teri aankhon mein rangon aur KHwabon ke jazire

    jagmagate hain

    sar-e-mizhgan rupahli saaton ke istiare muskuraate hain

    hansi mahtab banti hai

    phir is mahtab ke chaaron taraf aawaz ka haala ubharta hai

    aur is haale mein teri ungliyan

    nadida manzar ko tilism-e-KHwab se aazad karti hain

    tere hathon ki jumbish

    dhup chhanw se dhanak tartib de kar

    KHali taswiron mein KHadd-o-KHal ko aabaad karti hai

    teri palken jhapakti hain

    sitare se sitara aan milta hai

    ki jaise sham hote hi

    subuk aasar lahron mein

    kinare se kinara aan milta hai

    ye jo kuchh hai

    bahut hi KHubsurat hai

    magar us ke liye hai

    jo ye sab mahsus karta hai

    tujhe malum bhi ho jae to kya farq paDta hai

    abhi din ka thaka haara musafir dhup ke KHeme sameTe

    dur pani mein utarne ke liye

    be-tab hai dekho

    ye nila aasman

    apni garan KHwabi mein KHud gharqab hai dekho

    na jaane kyon

    samundar dekhne walon ko

    suraj Dubne ka KHauf rahta hai

    koi hai jis ko ism-e-ab aata ho

    kinaron ki tarah har lamha kaT girta ho

    zer-e-ab aata ho

    samundar aasman ki rahdari hai

    magar is rahdari tak pahunchne ka koi rasta

    baDi mushkil se milta hai

    ye ism-e-ab

    sahil par khaDe nazzara۔binon ki samajh mein kis tarah aae

    ki ye to Dubne walon pe bhi

    mushkil se khulta hai

    magar kab tak

    ise khulne mein kitni der lagti hai
