MORE BYMuneer Ahmad Firdaus

    aaj zindagī tārīḳh thī

    aur vo us ke sāmne chīḳh rahī thī

    jis ne ā.ankhoñ par siyāh paTTī bāñdh rakhī thī

    ''ab maiñ be-chehra kaise jiyūñ?

    maiñ ne to apnā chehra kaaT kaaT kar

    be-chehra nasloñ meñ baañT diyā

    merī kor-chashmī gavāh hai

    ki maiñ ne apne sabhī manzar

    be-manzar ā.ankhoñ ko de diye

    merī tamām ḳhvāhisheñ na.ī nasl ne bech kar

    apnī ārzueñ ḳharīd liiñ

    hañsne ke liye mere paas ab hoñT nahīñ haiñ

    nasloñ ko dhuup se bachāte bachāte

    jab sar meñ chāñdī ug aatī hai

    to nasloñ ke ḳhuun meñ safedī kyuuñ dauḌne lagtī hai?

    har taraf mere diye hue chehre ghuum rahe haiñ

    aur maiñ apnā chehra DhūñD rahī huuñ

    āḳhir be-chehra ho kar kaise jiyā saktā hai?''

    magar us ā.ankhoñ par to paTTī bañdhī thī

    vo kaise be-chehra zindagī ko dekhtā?

    is ke haath se juḌā tarāzū kāñpne lagā

    us ke paas na.e chehre nahīñ the

    aur us ne zindagī ko ek lambī peshī de

    aaj zindagi ki tariKH thi

    aur wo us ke samne chiKH rahi thi

    jis ne aaankhon par siyah paTTi bandh rakhi thi

    ab main be-chehra kaise jiyun?

    main ne to apna chehra kaT kaT kar

    be-chehra naslon mein banT diya

    meri kor-chashmi gawah hai

    ki main ne apne sabhi manzar

    be-manzar aaankhon ko de diye

    meri tamam KHwahishen nai nasl ne bech kar

    apni aarzuen KHarid lin

    hansne ke liye mere pas ab honT nahin hain

    naslon ko dhup se bachate bachate

    jab sar mein chandi ug aati hai

    to naslon ke KHun mein safedi kyun dauDne lagti hai?

    har taraf mere hi diye hue chehre ghum rahe hain

    aur main apna chehra DhunD rahi hun

    aaKHir be-chehra ho kar kaise jiya ja sakta hai?

    magar us ki aaankhon par to paTTi bandhi thi

    wo kaise be-chehra zindagi ko dekhta?

    is ke hath se juDa taraazu kanpne laga

    us ke pas nae chehre nahin the

    aur us ne zindagi ko ek lambi peshi de di
