Untitled and Incomplete…

Tum phir likhne baith gaye,
Aaj phir dukhne baith gaye,
Samajhne kee koshish karo,
Sach laakh kadva sahi,
Sach parakhne kee koshish karo.
Nazar uthao to sahee,
Kuch gird-o-paish haal to daikho,
Koi deewar salim nahin,
Koi sutoon nazar nahin aata,
Dhuwan uth’ta daikho,
To yeh na samajh baithna,
Ke kahin kisi ghar main
Koi choolha jala ho ga,
Zaitoon ke darakhtun se parey,
Sab jante hain - koi ghar nazar nahin aata!
Main ne patharun se poocha tha..
“Mera samaan kisi kaam aaye ga kya?”
Woh mera thaila tatol kar boley,
Yawar, apne sarmaya-e-hayat ko
In lafzon ko, is qalam dawat ko,
Kisi aur waqt ke liye utha rakho,
Malbey main dabi laashun par,
Alfaaz ka kafan acha nahin lagta,
Jin aankhun se lahoo rista ho,
Un ko qalam acha nahin lagta,
Jis ghar deewar giri ho,
Waan zikr-e-chaman acha nahin lagta,
Yeh alam uthane ke din hain,
Yeh qadam milane ke din hain,
Apne lafzun kee potli sambhal le jao,
Yeh sabaq dohraney ke din hain.

ForABetterWorld: Can’t say I don’t like that title…but its gonna have to wait for a poem…:)
HEY YOURSELF Hemmie… when did we get to that decision? The poem was not even complete when you’d been subjected to it…I figured you would want a different name for the different poem…I ain’t giving that suggestion back…Muhahaha!

Hain? So you are still trying to get through metric?
I know they say “try, try again”, but after a while, shouldn’t one just wake up and smell the coffee?

PS: yes, I am still alive… thank you for the kind words and gentle reminders over at ME…
What’s more, ME got updated too - I had a spare hour somewhere… I know - wonders never cease…!
