MORE BYQamar Jahan Naseer

    duniyā ke bakheḌoñ se ulajhte hue kal achānak

    merī nazar paḌī to dekhā ki

    zindagī hathelī se saarī lakīreñ ġhā.eb ho ga.ī haiñ

    sivā.e ek lakīr ke

    na chhoTī lakīreñ na baḌī

    na maddham na gahrī

    na mudavvar aur na mustaqīm

    na donoñ hatheliyoñ ko joḌ kar bantā koī chāñd

    na un lakīroñ oT se jhāñktā kisī sohnī chehra

    aur na un meñ ulajhtā kisī mahīvāl dil

    ye kaisī hathelī hai

    bilkul sapāT

    be-rang

    titliyoñ koī rang nahīñ in pe

    aur yak-laḳht

    maiñ ne dekhā ki hathelī ke sahrā meñ khaḌī 'umr tanhā lakīr bhī miTtī rahī thī

    aur zindagī

    zindagī ke udaas chehre pe maiñ ne amaltās zardī utarte dekhī

    nā-karda jurm ke bojh tale sar jhukā.e nazreñ churātī huī

    dabe paañv khisakne tayyārī kartī huī

    us āñkhoñ chamak lamha-ba-lamha phīkī paḌtī rahī thī

    aur tab maiñ ne saarī quvvateñ jam' kar ke black marker uThāyā

    aur zindagī ḳhālī hathelī pe aaḌī tirchhī be-Dhangī lekin bā-ma.anī aur pakkī lakīreñ khīñchne Thaan

    duniya ke bakheDon se ulajhte hue kal achanak

    meri nazar paDi to dekha ki

    zindagi ki hatheli se sari lakiren ghaeb ho gai hain

    siwae ek lakir ke

    na chhoTi lakiren na baDi

    na maddham na gahri

    na mudawwar aur na mustaqim

    na donon hatheliyon ko joD kar banta koi chand

    na un lakiron ki oT se jhankta kisi sohni ka chehra

    aur na hi un mein ulajhta kisi mahiwal ka dil

    ye kaisi hatheli hai

    bilkul sapaT

    be-rang

    titliyon ka koi rang nahin in pe

    aur yak-laKHt

    main ne dekha ki hatheli ke sahra mein khaDi 'umr ki tanha lakir bhi miTti ja rahi thi

    aur zindagi

    zindagi ke udas chehre pe main ne amaltas ki zardi utarte dekhi

    na-karda jurm ke bojh tale sar jhukae nazren churaati hui

    dabe panw khisakne ki tayyari karti hui

    us ki aankhon ki chamak lamha-ba-lamha phiki paDti ja rahi thi

    aur tab main ne sari quwwaten jam' kar ke black marker uThaya

    aur zindagi ki KHali hatheli pe aaDi tirchhi be-Dhangi lekin ba-mani aur pakki lakiren khinchne ki Than li
