Sher on Majburi
Helplessness is a terrible
state to be in. Those who are helpless can measure its pain but others can only be apathetic to this condition of living. Helplessness, however, also impels men to collect their strength in order to challenge the state of helplessness, and emerge victorious. Some of the verses here underline various states of helplessness we suffer.
zindagī hai apne qabze meñ na apne bas meñ maut
aadmī majbūr hai aur kis qadar majbūr hai
zindagi hai apne qabze mein na apne bas mein maut
aadmi majbur hai aur kis qadar majbur hai
haa.e 'sīmāb' us kī majbūrī
jis ne kī ho shabāb meñ tauba
hae 'simab' us ki majburi
jis ne ki ho shabab mein tauba
kursī hai tumhārā ye janāza to nahīñ hai
kuchh kar nahīñ sakte to utar kyoñ nahīñ jaate
kursi hai tumhaara ye janaza to nahin hai
kuchh kar nahin sakte to utar kyon nahin jate
idhar se bhī hai sivā kuchh udhar kī majbūrī
ki ham ne aah to kī un se aah bhī na huī
idhar se bhi hai siwa kuchh udhar ki majburi
ki hum ne aah to ki un se aah bhi na hui

kuchh to majburiyan rahi hongi
yun koi bewafa nahin hota
she would have had compulsions surely
faithless without cause no one can be

terī majbūriyāñ durust magar
tū ne va.ada kiyā thā yaad to kar
teri majburiyan durust magar
tu ne wada kiya tha yaad to kar

haar mirī majbūrī bhī ho saktī hai
dushman mujh par ghaalib bhi aa sakta hai
haar meri majburi bhi ho sakti hai

āzādiyoñ ke shauq o havas ne hameñ 'adīl'
ik ajnabī zamīn kā qaidī banā diyā
aazadiyon ke shauq o hawas ne hamein 'adil'
ek ajnabi zamin ka qaidi bana diya
maiñ ne sāmān-e-safar bāñdh ke phir khol diyā
ek tasvīr ne dekhā mujhe almārī se
main ne saman-e-safar bandh ke phir khol diya
ek taswir ne dekha mujhe almari se
kyā maslahat-shanās thā vo aadmī 'qatīl'
majbūriyoñ kā jis ne vafā naam rakh diyā
kya maslahat-shanas tha wo aadmi 'qatil'
majburiyon ka jis ne wafa nam rakh diya
haa.e re majbūriyāñ mahrūmiyāñ nākāmiyāñ
ishq āḳhir ishq hai tum kyā karo ham kyā kareñ
hae re majburiyan mahrumiyan nakaamiyan
ishq aaKHir ishq hai tum kya karo hum kya karen
mirī majbūriyāñ kyā pūchhte ho
ki jiine ke liye majbūr huuñ maiñ
meri majburiyan kya puchhte ho
ki jine ke liye majbur hun main
na-jāne kaun sī majbūriyāñ haiñ jin ke liye
ḳhud apnī zaat se inkār karnā paḌtā hai
na-jaane kaun si majburiyan hain jin ke liye
KHud apni zat se inkar karna paDta hai
