MORE BYAkhtar Husain Jafri

    raat ke farsh par

    maut āhaTeñ

    phir koī dar khulā

    kaun is ghar ke pahre pe māmūr thā

    kis ke bāloñ laT

    kis ke kānoñ ke dur

    kis ke hāthoñ zar, surḳh dahlīz par qāsidoñ ko milā?

    koī pahre pe ho to gavāhī mile

    ye shikasta shajar

    ye shikasta shajar jis ke paañv meñ ḳhud apne saa.e mauhūm zanjīr hai

    ye shikasta shajar to muhāfiz nahīñ

    ye shikasta shajar to sipāhī nahīñ

    shab se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    ek tasvīr-e-be-rañg hai sāmne jis se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    ek sūrat ki jis ke ḳhad-o-ḳhāl merī sub.h-e-hunar

    se shanāsā.ī hai

    us se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    ek sho.ala ki ab tak ḳhas-e-jāñ meñ thaa, us sarkash sharar

    kāġhazoñ meñ, makānoñ meñ, bāġhoñ meñ hai

    us mānūs hiddat se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    ek āvāz kohsār-e-tafrīq par jo saf-ārā haiñ vo apne bhaa.ī nahīñ

    is sadā rū-ba-sahrā se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    shab se Dartā huuñ maiñ

    raat ke farsh par

    maut ki aahaTen

    phir koi dar khula

    kaun is ghar ke pahre pe mamur tha

    kis ke baalon ki laT

    kis ke kanon ke dur

    kis ke hathon ka zar, surKH dahliz par qasidon ko mila?

    koi pahre pe ho to gawahi mile

    ye shikasta shajar

    ye shikasta shajar jis ke panw mein KHud apne sae ki mauhum zanjir hai

    ye shikasta shajar to muhafiz nahin

    ye shikasta shajar to sipahi nahin

    shab se Darta hun main

    ek taswir-e-be-rang hai samne jis se Darta hun main

    ek surat ki jis ke KHad-o-KHal ki meri subh-e-hunar

    se shanasai hai

    us se Darta hun main

    ek shoala ki ab tak KHas-e-jaan mein tha, us ka sarkash sharar

    kaghazon mein, makanon mein, baghon mein hai

    us ki manus hiddat se Darta hun main

    ek aawaz kohsar-e-tafriq par jo saf-ara hain wo apne bhai nahin

    is sada ru-ba-sahra se Darta hun main

    shab se Darta hun main
