main kya kahta tha

MORE BYAkhtar Usman

    maiñ ye kahtā thā ki nauha na kaho

    kheltī titliyoñ hañstī huī kaliyoñ ke qasīde likkho

    ye jo imkāñ meñ koī baas damaktī hai

    ise lafz meñ laao kisī dil meñ likhe

    lafz jo dil ke dabāo ko ghaTā detā hai

    dil jo ik hashr uThā detā hai

    maiñ ye kahtā thā

    chahaktī huī chiḌiyoñ ke liye giit likho

    un daraḳhtoñ se lipaT jā.ūñ

    jo jalte haiñ magar sāya-kunāñ rahte haiñ

    varna dil sirf ḳhizāñ rahte haiñ

    abr baat karo

    ashk tah-e-chashm dabe rahne do

    maiñ ye kahtā thā

    kahīñ duur khanaktī huī qilqārī ko

    apne ehsās kyārī meñ numū paane do

    vo jo fardā ke chaman meñ hai nigār mumkin

    ise alfāz mahkār meñ so ne do

    maiñ ye kahtā thā

    magar kyā maiñ yahī kahtā thā

    main ye kahta tha ki nauha na kaho

    khelti titliyon hansti hui kaliyon ke qaside likkho

    ye jo imkan mein koi bas damakti hai

    ise lafz mein lao kisi dil mein likhe

    lafz jo dil ke dabao ko ghaTa deta hai

    dil jo ek hashr uTha deta hai

    main ye kahta tha

    chahakti hui chiDiyon ke liye git likho

    un daraKHton se lipaT jaun

    jo jalte hain magar saya-kunan rahte hain

    warna dil sirf KHizan rahte hain

    abr ki baat karo

    ashk tah-e-chashm dabe rahne do

    main ye kahta tha

    kahin dur khanakti hui qilqari ko

    apne ehsas ki kyari mein numu pane do

    wo jo farda ke chaman mein hai nigar mumkin

    ise alfaz ki mahkar mein so ja ne do

    main ye kahta tha

    magar kya main yahi kahta tha
