Wajd, Urdu Nazam By Humaira Gul Tashna

zindagi ghumti chakraati hai bal khati hai
aur phir wajd ke nuqte pe Thahar jati hai
daere chaar taraf raqs-kunan rahte hain
dil-e-awara Thahar jae jahan zad ruke
raqs ke din pe chaDhi gardish-e-haalat ki dhup
raqs be-KHud mein mera shauq-e-junun shamil hai

jhumta nachta rahta hai zamana sara
titliyan mor parinde to kahin aab-e-rawan
shama ki aankh se bahte hain musalsal aansu
aur shoale ki lapak par kahin mahke roTi
tez kirnon se kisi koh ki pighle chandi
dhup aur chhanw mein lipTe hue chaaron mausam

ek tamasha hai ki zahir hai nazar ke aage
dhup ke rang ko lazim hai siyahi shab ki
aur siyahi to nahin bhed se KHali 'tashna'
lekin us bhed ko pane ki kahan koshish ki
ek lamhe mein usi bhed ki lau shamil hai
aur wahi wasl ka lamha to mera hasil hai

koi is pal se kaho hosh mein lae mujh ko
nind aati hai magar ishq jagae mujh ko
aankh ki putli siyah rang dikhae mujh ko
raqs-o-ahang hi insan banae mujh ko
zindagi chaak-e-musalsal pe paDi ghumti hai
jism roTi ke niwalon mein phansae mujh ko

tere quran mein bahta hua sargam maKHfi
aur zamzam ke liye KHak ragaDti eDi
dur mandir mein kalisaon mein bajti ghanTi
ghumta jae falak aur ye zamin ki chakki
aur is sab mein mujhe ghar ka bana kar qaidi
nur karte ho ata mujh ko bana kar miTTi

aankh soti hai to baatin ko jaga dete ho
tum pilate ho magar pyas baDha dete ho
aur 'tashna' jo kabhi wajd mein allah likhe
tum usi wajd ke nuqte ko miTa dete ho
aur nae rang ke gulzar khila dete ho
wajd ke nuqte pe ye raqs-e-jahan rukta hai
wajd ka nuqta miTa do to wahad bachta hai
