Kash, Urdu Nazam By Aarif Akhtar Naqvi

main shahr-e-tamanna ki taraj nagri ke malbe mein
lachaar-o-tanha
kabhi is khanDar par kabhi us khanDar tak
bhaTakta hua
DhunDta phir raha hun
apne masum mismar KHwabon ka malba
tabhi ek taraf ko nazar jo gai to dikhai diya
TuTe phuTe jalae gae kuchh makan
ek minar-e-masjid
kalash ek mandir ka aundha paDa hai
kureda to malbe ke niche mera KHwab
sanjhi wirasat ka ek saz bhi dafn tha
mujhe yaad aaya
mere amman abba ne is saz par
kitne ulfat ke naghme baja kar sikhae the hum ko
jawani mein
is saz ki narm dilkash dhunon par
baDe josh aur hausle se
tarane mohabbat ke gay the hum ne
magar phir
ruh-parwar azanon ki aawaz
aur mandiron ke bhajan
dilkashi bhul kar
apne ghalbe ka elan bante gae
shor itna baDha
saz-e-ulfat ki aawaz bhi dab gai
shor se josh baDhta gaya
hosh jata raha
aur phir ye hua
aaj shahr-e-tamanna ki haalat hai jo
jis taraf dekhiye rakh hi rakh hai
aur main
apni miras ko
apni sanjhi wirasat ke TuTe hue saz ko
apne dil se lagae
dil-shikasta-o-giryan khaDa hun
kya karun
is ko malbe mein hi dafn kar dun
mujh se ye to nahin hoga
aisa karta hun TuTe hue saz ko
apni aulad ko saunp dun
bas isi aas par
isi ummid mein
mere bachche phir us saz ko joD kar
git ulfat ke phir gungunane lagen
nafraton ko miTane lagen
kash ye ho sake
