Silsila-e-mukalimat-e-KHud-kalami, Urdu Nazam By Shafiq Fatima Shera

kab se is aatish-e-nafas ka
ye dabistan-e-qadim
chal raha tha na-gahan
nikla natija
imtihan ilm-e-asma ka
tabhi se
rah gai ho kar muqaffal ye imarat
aur chhuTTi par moallim
apne hujre mein muqim

aadam-e-KHaki ki paidaish se pahle
jin ka kahna tha zamin par
KHun bahaega ye nahaq
aur machaega fasad
ab wahi peshengo umid-war
is ke gun gate hue thakte nahin
imtihan-gah-e-muqaddar ho to aisi
jis mein pur-tab-o-tawan hum
kar-pardazan-e-fitrat la-jawab
aur aadam us ki tinat mein to goya
hal-shuda pahle se the sare sawal
jin mazahir ki taraf dekha nazar bhar kar
maani ke damak aThe unhin mein muzmiraat
hikmat-e-ashya ke sanche mein Dhali
be-saKHta ism-afrini marhaba
KHak-e-be-miqdar ke zarraat mein
jauhar-e-nutq-o-bayan aisa bhi maKHfi hai
kise malum tha
imtihan KHatm
aur masjud-e-malaik ban gai insan ki zat
main ne lekin shewa-e-inkar apnaya
ki main aatish-e-nihad
martabe mein KHak-e-uftada se bartar
asl mein wala guhar
chahe aflak-o-zamin par
phail kar chha jae ye musht-e-ghubar
harba tasKHir lekin kargar mujh par bhi ho is ka
yahi ek marhala hai marke ka
imtihan ye saKHt-tar hai
kaamyabi is mein bhi pae yahi
umid-war KHush-guman
aasan nahin
meri apni ek lughat hai
jis mein asma ke maani bar-bar
ek nai tabir ke aaina-dar
mansab-e-azadgi aadam ka
ek parwana-e-ghaarat-gari
is mein likha hai
aur aagahi
tabahi ke wasael tak rasai ka jawaz
is mein chhapa hai
al-gharaz is khel ka mohara wahi
ilm-e-asma hai magar
ek pur-fusun taqlib-kari ka shikar
ek pur-fusun taqlib-kari ka shikar
