Qatra Jhil Samundar, Urdu Nazam By Mubarak Ahmad

zamin pe baiTh kar koi
agar kahe
ki chand ek abru-e-KHamida ki misal hai
to tu kahega
duri-e-nigah mein to ek sawal hai
ba-in dalil
tujh se kah raha tha main
ki charKH-e-nil se
nigah ko haTa zara
simaTti phailti faza-e-nilgun ke daere mein
chand roz ke liye phisalna chhoD kar
mere qarib
is qadar qarib aa
ki tere mere darmiyan
har ek fasla miTe
to phir kahin tujhe pata chalega ye
ki meri aankh mein
chamakta qatra bhi nahin
chamakti jhil bhi nahin
ye bahr hai
ye bahr jis ki har machalti lahr is sukun ka payam hai
magar main bhi Darta hun
main jaanta hun bahr-e-be-kanar mein
kai jagah bhanwar bhi hain
har ek lahr
ghumte bhanwar ko dekhne ke waste
uchhal uchhal ke mauj tund-o-tez banti jaegi
har ek mauj
ghumte bhanwar ko bas mein lane ke liye
baDhegi
miTti jaegi
bhanwar ke daere ko aur bhi baDhaegi
bhanwar jo aaj ghumta hai sail-e-rang-e-ab par
magar abhi sukun hai
magar main phir bhi Darta hun
ki ye sukun talatum-e-nahufta ki dalil hai
talatum-e-nahufta ke KHayal se
farar chahta hun main
lo aaj main ne ek Dhang soch hi liya
magar ye kaisi andhi soch hai
main apna hath aankh par rakhe hue sitada hun
har ek samt
soch ki hadon se dur
tirgi mein gahra ek suhana raaz hai
har ek ang
mast mast narm narm ragni ka saz hai
magar main phir bhi Darta hun
ki ye sukun saat-e-fatila-e-hayat hai
hayat main ghalat samajh raha tha itni der se
hayat is jagah kahan hayat to
ufuq ki surKHiyon se dur
ajnabi dayar mein
wufur-e-shauq ke tufail
farq-e-in-o-an ko chhoD kar
ek rang ka labaada oDh kar
khaDi hai mere intizar mein
to kyon na main wahan chalun
magar jab aage baDhne
rasta dekhne ke waste
main apna hath aankh se haTata hun
to apne aage ek bahr-e-be-karan ko pata hun
magar ye kya
ki tu to ab bhi kah raha hai
teri aankh mein chamakte qatre ki misal hun
tujhe KHabar nahin
ki ye sabhi ek duri-e-nigah ka sawal hai
zara mere qarib aa ke dekh meri aankh mein
chamakta qatra bhi nahin
chamakti jhil bhi nahin
ye bahr hai
