Urdu ke gumnaam shaa'ir ... # 2

sab kahaaN kuchh laala o gul meN numaayaaN ho ga'yeeN
Khaak meN kyaa soorateN hoN gee k pinhaaN ho ga'yeeN
kee tashreeh meN is Khaaksaar ne inhee safhaat par arz kiyaa thaa k is
she'er kaa aik matlab ye bhee ho saktaa hai:
duniyaa meN har taKhleeq-kaar (artist) ko apnee salaahee'yatoN
(potential) ke izhaar kaa mauqa' naheeN miltaa. chand hee log hote
haiN jo numaayaaN ho kar saamne aate haiN, aksar gosha e gumnaamee hee
meN mar-khap jaate haiN.
hamaare aaj kaa mauzoo' bhee aise hee aik shaa'ir haiN, jo apne
zamaane meN to baRe qaadirul kalaam aur tabbaa' maane jaate the
(Maulaanaa Aazaad "Aab e Hayaat" meN in ke baare meN apne maKhsoos,
bai-misl andaaz meN likhte haiN:
"tabe' e mauzooN goyaa aik phaldaar daraKht thaa k jab is kee Tehnee
hilaa'o, fauran phal jhaR paReN ge.")
lekin afsos k zamaane kaa mazaaq badal jaane ke saath saath in ke
adabee qad o qaamat kaa shajar bhee murjhaataa chalaa gayaa aur na'yee
nasl meN se kam hee log hoN ge jo in ke naam aur maqaam se vaaqif hoN
ge.
mazeed guftugoo to aglee qist meN ho gee, fil-haal aaj ke shaa'ir e
gumnaam kee garmee e kalaam kee tapash se behra-var hoN.
sar e mizhgaaN ba-vaqt e naala aansoo ko taraste haiN
ye sach hai jo garajte haiN vo baadal kam baraste haiN
naheeN kab zaahir o baatin tasavvur aur Khayaal un kaa
kabhee aankhoN meN rehte haiN kabhee aa dil meN baste haiN

havaa se zulf yak-soo ho to Khaal e ruKh damakte haiN
kabhee badlee ghir aatee hai, kabhee taare chaTakte haiN
shitaab ai raahat-e-dil-haa-e-ushshaaqaaN, na aayaa too
k chashm e halqa e dar se tiree vo raah takte haiN
naheeN hotaa hai daaman-geer ko'yee Khaar bhee apnaa
bayaabaan e junooN-angaiz meN tanhaa bhaTakte haiN!
hamaaraa us kaa baaham rabt barq o abr jaisaa hai
hanse hai jab vo apne us ghaRee aansoo nikalte haiN

kis roo se yaar qissa e zulf e do-taa likhooN
saudaa naheeN mujhe jo maiN ye silsila likhooN
jaatee hai misl e shama' zabaan e qalam jalee
qaasid maiN sauz e dil kaa use haal kyaa likhooN
detee naheeN sarakne mujhe koo e yaar se
kyoN-kar na mauj e ashk ko zanjeer e paa likhooN
vaa-shud ba-rang e Ghuncha jo dil ho to ai sabaa
har barg e gul ko naaKhun e 'uqda-kushaa likhooN
mistar-kasheeda safha e dariyaa ho mauj se
tuGhiyaanee e sirishk kaa gar maajiraa likhooN
paa'ye suraaGh e manzil e yaaraan e raftagaaN
phir chashm e naqsh e paa ko na kyoN rah-numaa likhooN
taiGh e sitam se keejo mire haath too qalam
zaalim agar maiN shikva e jaur o jafaa likhooN
[ye andaaz e bayaan, ye tarz e zabaan, ye rang Dhang, ye shikoh e
aahang, jaanaa-pehchaanaa saa naheeN lag rahaa? jee haaN, kuchh kuchh
Ghalib kaa saa andaaz jhalaktaa hai naa? lekin ye bhee sun leeji'ye k
mausoof Ghalib se *pehle* guzre haiN!]
tan e laaGhar tire beemaar kaa kab baar e bistar hai
k chashm e tang e soozan meN vo shakl e taar bistar hai

dil sar se balaa tere ye Tal jaa'ye to achchhaa
isbaat na ho da'avaa e KhooN us pe Ilaahee

aataa hai to aa, va'ada faraamosh, vagarna
har rauz kaa ye lait o la'al jaa'ye to achchhaa

miqraaz e jaada daaman e sehraa katar ga'yee

mausoof kee shaa'iree ke aik Khaas ul Khaas vasf hai, ya'anee
sanglaaKh tareen zameenoN ko gul o gulzaar karnaa. is par aa'inda baat
ho gee.
aadaab arz hai,
