Ab Mere Shane Se Lag Kar Kis Liye Roti Ho

Poem:Tajdide

Ab Mere Shane Se Lag Kar Kis Liye Roti Ho Tum
yaad hai tum ne kaha tha
jab nigahon mein chamak ho
lafz jazbon ke asar se kanpte hon aur tanaffus
is tarah uljhen ki jismon ki thakan khushbu bane
to wo ghadi ahd-e-wafa ki saat-e-nayab hai

wo jo chupke se bichhad jate hain lamhe hain masafat
jin ki khatir panw par pahre bithati hai
nigahen dhund ke pardon mein un ko dhundti hain
aur samaat un ki mithi narm aahat ke liye
daman bichhati hai

aur wo lamha bhi tum ko yaad hoga
jab hawaen sard thin aur sham ke maile kafan par hath rakh kar
tum ne lafzon aur talluq ke nae mani batae the, kaha tha
har ghadi apni jagah par saat-e-nayab hai

hasil-e-umr-e-gurezan ek bhi lamha nahin
lafz dhoka hain ki un ka kaam iblagh-e-maani ke alawa kuchh nahin
waqt mani hai jo har lahza nae chehre badalta hai
jaane wala waqt saya hai

ki jab tak jism hai ye aadmi ke sath chalta hai
yaad misl-e-nutq pagal hai ki is ke lafz mani se tahi hain
ye jise tum gham aziyyat dard aansu
dukh waghaira kah rahe ho

ek lamhati tassur hai tumhaara wahm hai
tum ko mera mashwara hai, bhul jao tum se ab tak
jo bhi kuchh main ne kaha hai
ab mere shane se lag kar kis liye roti ho tum!
