    Interesting Fact

    (For Obaidullah Aleem) (June 1998)

    vahī kār-e-duniyā

    vahī kār-e-duniyā ke apne jhamele

    vahī dil hālat

    vahī ḳhvāhishoñ ārzūoñ ke mele

    vahī zindagī se bharī bhiiḌ meñ chalne vaale sabhī log

    apnī jagah par akele

    ka.ī gard-ālūd manzar nigāhoñ dahlīz par jam ga.e haiñ

    mujhe yuuñ lagā jaise chalte hue vaqt ke qāfile tham ga.e haiñ

    zarā sīḌhiyoñ se udhar maiñ ne dekhā

    vahī shahr hai aur vahī shahr be-karāmat fazā hai

    vahī ḳhalq hai aur vahī ḳhalq ke bhuul jaane apnī adā hai

    vahī rāste haiñ vahī be-suhūlat safar sazā hai

    vahī saañs lene ko jiine ko be-mehr āb-o-havā hai

    vahī zindagī hai vahī us ke chāroñ taraf be-tahaffuz ridā hai

    vahī sīḌhiyoñ se udhar rāhdārī ke baa.eñ taraf ḳhālī kamra

    tirī guftugū se bharā ḳhālī kamra

    tire qahqahoñ ke samundar meñ Duubā huā āñsuoñ jazīra

    jazīre meñ uḌtā huā ik parinda

    muñDeroñ darīchoñ daraḳhtoñ tanhā.iyoñ mudāvā parinda

    tirī chāhatoñ aur vafā-dāriyoñ ke ufuq par sitāra-numā ik parinda

    tire giit gaatā

    tamannāoñ bārishoñ meñ nahātā

    kisī taaza imkān ko jagmagātā

    kahīñ duur phailī huī kahkashāoñ meñ gum ho gayā hai

    zarā sīḌhiyoñ se udhar maiñ ne dekhā

    ka.ī likhne vaale

    ḳhushāmad kaasa liye apne ġhībat-kade meñ khaḌe haiñ

    siyāsī vaDere

    musāvāt naam le kar hamesha ġharīb aadmī anā se laḌe haiñ

    ka.ī ahl-e-dānish

    jo mazlūm āh-o-zārī pe dikhte the

    zālim ke dar par paḌe haiñ

    yahāñ koī chhoTā nahīñ hai

    sab ik dūsre se baḌe haiñ

    tirī shā.irī ḳhamīr apne jazboñ sachchā.iyoñ se uThā thā

    apne usūloñ ke ātish-fishāñ par khaḌā

    zindagī riyā-kāriyoñ se nabard-āzmā thā

    apne ravayyoñ sab hālatoñ meñ

    mohabbat se likkhī huī ik duā thā

    ahl-e-vafā zamīr āshnā thā

    abhī sīḌhiyāñ chaḌhte chaḌhte maiñ ruk gayā huuñ

    vahāñ kaun hai

    kaun hai ab jo dastak pahlī kiran hikāyat sunegā

    na.e ratjagoñ masāfat meñ uljhe hue aane vaale dinoñ

    rivāyat sunegā

    charāġhoñ āvāz meñ

    ā.inoñ tilāvat sunegā

    mire shā.ir-e-ḳhush-navā

    ki dushman bhī achchhā thā

    aur dostī meñ bhī terā yahāñ koī saanī nahīñ hai

    jise ahl-e-dil bhuul jā.eñge

    vo kahānī nahīñ hai

    wahi kar-e-duniya

    wahi kar-e-duniya ke apne jhamele

    wahi dil ki haalat

    wahi KHwahishon aarzuon ke mele

    wahi zindagi se bhari bhiD mein chalne wale sabhi log

    apni jagah par akele

    kai gard-alud manzar nigahon ki dahliz par jam gae hain

    mujhe yun laga jaise chalte hue waqt ke qafile tham gae hain

    zara siDhiyon se udhar main ne dekha

    wahi shahr hai aur wahi shahr ki be-karamat faza hai

    wahi KHalq hai aur wahi KHalq ke bhul jaane ki apni ada hai

    wahi raste hain wahi be-suhulat safar ki saza hai

    wahi sans lene ko jine ko be-mehr aab-o-hawa hai

    wahi zindagi hai wahi us ke chaaron taraf be-tahaffuz rida hai

    wahi siDhiyon se udhar rahdari ke baen taraf KHali kamra

    teri guftugu se bhara KHali kamra

    tere qahqahon ke samundar mein Duba hua aansuon ka jazira

    jazire mein uDta hua ek parinda

    munDeron darichon daraKHton ki tanhaiyon ka mudawa parinda

    teri chahaton aur wafa-dariyon ke ufuq par sitara-numa ek parinda

    tere git gata

    tamannaon ki barishon mein nahata

    kisi taza imkan ko jagmagata

    kahin dur phaili hui kahkashaon mein gum ho gaya hai

    zara siDhiyon se udhar main ne dekha

    kai likhne wale

    KHushamad ka kasa liye apne ghibat-kade mein khaDe hain

    siyasi waDere

    musawat ka nam le kar hamesha gharib aadmi ki ana se laDe hain

    kai ahl-e-danish

    jo mazlum ki aah-o-zari pe dikhte the

    zalim ke dar par paDe hain

    yahan koi chhoTa nahin hai

    sab ek dusre se baDe hain

    teri shairi ka KHamir apne jazbon ki sachchaiyon se uTha tha

    tu apne usulon ke aatish-fishan par khaDa

    zindagi ki riya-kariyon se nabard-azma tha

    tu apne rawayyon ki sab haalaton mein

    mohabbat se likkhi hui ek dua tha

    tu ahl-e-wafa ka zamir aashna tha

    abhi siDhiyan chaDhte chaDhte main ruk sa gaya hun

    wahan kaun hai

    kaun hai ab jo dastak ki pahli kiran ki hikayat sunega

    nae ratjagon ki masafat mein uljhe hue aane wale dinon ki

    riwayat sunega

    charaghon ki aawaz mein

    aainon ki tilawat sunega

    mere shair-e-KHush-nawa

    tu ki dushman bhi achchha tha

    aur dosti mein bhi tera yahan koi sani nahin hai

    jise ahl-e-dil bhul jaenge

    tu wo kahani nahin hai
