Waqt, Urdu Nazam By Mohammad Zahid

ye waqt kya hai
kidhar se aata hai kidhar ko jata hai
aur is waqt ke shikam se nikalte
din aur raat
aur in se phuTte
ghanTe minute aur second
phir in se bante
hafte mahine sal aur sadiyan
ye banne TuTne juDne ka amal
kab se shurua hua hai
kab talak chalega
kaun hai jis ne inhen
is KHidmat par mamur kar rakha hai
apni zaban se kuchh kahta na sunta hai
bas har-dam masruf-e-amal hai
us ne duniya ki taKHliq ko dekha hai
phir is ke baad is ke ujaDne ka tamashai hai
is ke daman mein hazaron raaten hazaron kahaniyan hain
husn-o-ishq ki
tahzibon ke banne bigaDne ki
zamin ke TukDon ke sajne sanwarne ki
suno to sunte raho
uruj-o-zawal ki nasheb-o-faraaz ki
magar kya daur-e-jadid ke
chand aur sitaron par kamand Dalne walon ne
apne kan band rakhe hain
ya itne masruf hain ki unhen sunne ki fursat bhi nahin hai
mana ki hum bhi kahani likh rahe hain
auron ke liye
magar wo kahani aisi ho
jise sunate hue
waqt ko koi sharmindagi na ho
