MORE BYAli Mohammad Farshi

    tere ātish-fishānoñ se bahte hue

    surḳh-sailāb pesh-goī

    olympus ke ātish-kade se

    sunahrī harārat rāhat churā kar

    prometheus ke zamīñ par utarne se pahle

    bahut pahle tārīḳh ke ġhaar meñ ek

    sah-chashme ifrīt ne is kahānī meñ thī

    jise paḌh ke ḳhud us pe dīvāngī vo daura paḌā

    ḳhud ko andhā kiyā

    phir sunātā rahā dāstāñ andhī tāqat

    barbādiyoñ par rulātā rahā

    aañkh se saat sāgar bahe

    ret lekin hamesha pyāsī

    bujhātī rahī āñsuoñ se mire pyaas aag ko

    nahīñ jāntā ret pyaas ko

    ret bhuuk ko

    ret bhuuk aisī ki jis meñ samā jaa.eñ

    lohā ugalte pahāḌoñ ke sab silsile

    pyaas aisī ki jis meñ utar jaa.eñ

    saare samundar

    tire āñsuoñ ke

    magar tere aañsū Tapakne meñ kuchh der hai

    der kitnī lagī

    hāthiyoñ qatāroñ ko

    zer-e-zamīñ

    tel aur taar bunñe mī.ād se ḳhuub vāqif hai

    isī tel pe pāgal huā

    aur dhamaktā dharaptā huā

    aa gayā ret ke raaj meñ

    vaqt ke aaj meñ

    vaqt aaj terā hai jis meñ

    mirrīḳh o marā.iḳh se aage rasā.ī hai terī

    magar ret to par nahīñ tāqat-e-par nahīñ dekhtī

    paañv ko taultī hai

    kise soltī hai

    tere aatish-fishanon se bahte hue

    surKH-sailab ki pesh-goi

    olympus ke aatish-kade se

    sunahri hararat ki rahat chura kar

    prometheus ke zamin par utarne se pahle

    bahut pahle tariKH ke ghaar mein ek

    sah-chashme ifrit ne is kahani mein ki thi

    jise paDh ke KHud us pe diwangi ka wo daura paDa

    KHud ko andha kiya

    phir sunata raha dastan andhi taqat ki

    barbaadiyon par rulata raha

    aankh se sat sagar bahe

    ret lekin hamesha ki pyasi

    bujhati rahi aansuon se mere pyas ki aag ko

    tu nahin jaanta ret ki pyas ko

    ret ki bhuk ko

    ret ki bhuk aisi ki jis mein sama jaen

    loha ugalte pahaDon ke sab silsile

    pyas aisi ki jis mein utar jaen

    sare samundar

    tere aansuon ke

    magar tere aansu Tapakne mein kuchh der hai

    der kitni lagi

    hathiyon ki qataron ko

    zer-e-zamin

    tel aur tar bunne ki miad se KHub waqif hai tu

    tu isi tel ki bu pe pagal hua

    aur dhamakta dharapta hua

    aa gaya ret ke raj mein

    waqt ke aaj mein

    waqt ka aaj tera hai jis mein

    mirriKH o maraiKH se aage rasai hai teri

    magar ret to par nahin taqat-e-par nahin dekhti

    panw ko taulti hai

    kise solti hai
