Ai Ham-nafasan, Urdu Nazam By Shafiq Fatima Shera

bulldozer qadmon se chalti
colony baktar-band nai
behad tausia ke sahra mein
kya sungh rahi hai sunD uThae
aadam bu
aankhen palken jhapkate rahne par mamur us ki
be-waqfa-e-KHwab
signal ki batti jalti bujhti sada
din ho ya raat
sansani-zada har khaTke par aasab
shahid aa hi gaya
aane wala yaum-e-hisab

harba mein KHud apne
muhaarib ka
yun Dhal jaana
KHud ko kho kar ghalba pana
ai dida-e-ibrat-bin
ek turfa-tamasha hai
masnui mashini duniya mein
masnui mashini jit aur haar

jab tak tum tum ho
kuchh nahin khoya hum ne
ai ham-nafsan-e-jafa-dida
ai ham-nafsan-e-hazin
jab tak tum tum ho
aadam-zad yahan
har jabr ke madd-e-muqabil hai
sarmast azal aazad
KHush-bash niDar pakiza nihad

tum aalam-e-KHwab ke baz ashhab
kibriyat-e-ahmar nayab
phir bhi dhaara sa tumhaare dam se
chahat ke armanon ka
bahta rahta hai dilon mein

tumhaare hote
reza-rez na ho paengi yahan
husn-o-KHubi ki ye tabiraat
suhani ujli tamiraat
ba-raunaq jin se
sharq-o-gharb ye bazm-e-jihat
