MORE BYAzra Abbas

    saare din ke mel ko

    jism se utārnā mushkil lagtā hai

    sar ko din bhar dhuul se

    fāriġh karnā

    aur phir gardan ke kaale dā.ere ko

    halkā karnā

    sābun ke bulbuloñ se

    phir āhista āhista un golā.iyoñ taraf

    baḌhnā

    jin par mel kabhī nahīñ chaḌhtā

    zarā tirchhī

    ek taraf ko jhukī huī

    sadā chamkī-chamkā.ī

    unheñ maiñ ab nahīñ dhotī

    phir ubhre hue peT par

    barsoñ pasīna

    jame hue chewing-gum tarah

    kabhī nahīñ utartā

    sābun ke jhaag ke bulbule tezī se

    us par phūTte rahte haiñ

    aur phir be-hañgam kūlhoñ

    baarī aatī hai

    kabhī jab meñ chaltī thī

    to sar-phire palaT palaT kar

    un ke utarne chaḌhne ko

    ghūrte rahte the

    naaf se le kar nāḳhunoñ tak

    sābun be-Dol jhaag banātā hai

    jhaag aur poroñ āñkh-micholī

    jo mel pasīna ban kar bah jaatī hai

    ab jism se mel utārnā

    mushkil lagtā hai

    sare din ke mel ko

    jism se utarna mushkil lagta hai

    sar ko din bhar ki dhul se

    farigh karna

    aur phir gardan ke kale daere ko

    halka karna

    sabun ke bulbulon se

    phir aahista aahista un golaiyon ki taraf

    baDhna

    jin par mel kabhi nahin chaDhta

    zara si tirchhi

    ek taraf ko jhuki hui

    sada ki chamki-chamkai

    unhen main ab nahin dhoti

    phir ubhre hue peT par

    barson ka pasina

    jame hue chewing-gum ki tarah

    kabhi nahin utarta

    sabun ke jhag ke bulbule tezi se

    us par phuTte rahte hain

    aur phir be-hangam kulhon ki

    bari aati hai

    kabhi jab mein chalti thi

    to sar-phire palaT palaT kar

    un ke utarne chaDhne ko

    ghurte rahte the

    naf se le kar naKHunon tak

    sabun be-Dol jhag banata hai

    jhag aur poron ki aankh-micholi

    jo mel pasina ban kar bah jati hai

    ab jism se mel utarna

    mushkil lagta hai
