کالے سفید پروں والا پرندہ اور میری ایک شام — اخترالایمان

Kaale Safed Paron Wala Parinda Aur Meri Ek Shaam

Jab din dhal jaata hai, suraj dharti ki oat mein ho jaata hai
Aur bhadon ke chatte jaisi bhan bhan
Bazaaron ki garmi, afra tafri
Motor, bus, barqi relon ka hangama tham jaata hai
Chaay khanon naach gharon se kamsin ladke
Apne ham-sin mashooqun ko
Jin ki jinsi khwahish waqt se pehle jaag uthi hai
Le kar ja chukte hain
Badhti phailti oonchi Himalaya jaisi taamiron par khamoshi chha jaati hai
Theatre tafreehgahon mein taale pad jaate hain
Aur bazahir duniya so jaati hai
Main apne kamre mein baitha socha karta hoon
Kutton ki dum tedhi kyun hoti hai
Yeh chitkabri duniya jis ka koi bhi kirdar nahi hai
Koi falsafa koi payinda aqdaar nahi, mayaar nahi hai
Is par ahl-e-daanish-o-dawaan, falsafi
Moti moti adq kitaben kyun likha karte hain?
Furqat ki maa ne shauhar ke marne par kitna kohram machaya tha
Lekin iddat ke din poore hone se ek hafta pehle
Neelam ke mamuon ke saath Badayun ja pahunchi thi
Bi bi ki sahank, konde, fateha khwani
Jang-e-Siffeen, Jamal aur Badr ke qisson
Seerat-e-Nabvi, tark-e-duniya aur Maulvi Sahab ke halwe maandey mein kya rishta hai?
Din to ud jaate hain
Yeh sab kaale par wale bagule hain
Jo hanste khelte lamhon ko
Apne pankhon mein moond ke aankhon se ojhal ho jaate hain
Rahat jaise khwab hai aise insaanon ka
Jin ki ummeedon ke daaman mein paiwand lage hain
Jama ek taraf seete hain doosri jaanib phat jaata hai
Yeh duniya lamha lamha jeeti hai
Maryam ab kapde seeti hai
Aankhon ki beenayi saath nahi deti ab
Aur Ghazanafar
Jo roomal mein laddu baandh ke us ke ghar mein phenka karta tha
Aur us ki aankhon ki tauseef mein ghazlein likhwa kar laaya karta tha
Us ne aur kahin shadi kar li hai
Ab apni lakdi ki taal pe baitha
Apni kaj-raai aur jawani ke qisse dohraya karta hai
Taal se uth kar jab ghar mein aata hai
Beti par qadghan rakhta hai
Naye zamane ki aulaad ab waisi nahi reh gayi
Badkaari badhti jaati hai
Jo din beet gaye kitne acche thhe!
Bargad ke neeche baitho ya sooli chadh jaao
Bhainse ladne se baaz nahi aayenge
Maut se hum ne ek taawun kar rakha hai
Sadkon par se har lamha ek mayyat jaati hai
Pas-e-manzar mein kya hota hai nazar kahan jaati hai
Saamne jo kuch hai rangon aawazon chehron ka mela hai!
Kargil ud kar woh palkhan par ja baithi
Peepal mein tote ne bacche de rakhe hain
Guldum jo pakdi thi kal bechari mar gayi
Najma ke bele mein kitni kaliyan aayi hain
Phoolon ki khushboo se kya kya yaad aata hai
Yeh jab ka qissa hai sadkon par nayi nayi bijli aayi thi
Aur mujhe seene mein dil hone ka ehsaas hua tha
Eid ke din hum ne latthe ki shalwarein silwayi thin
Aur sawayyon ka zarda hamsaye mein bhijwaya tha
Sab neeche baithak mein baithe thhe
Main oopar ke kamre mein baitha
Khidki se Zainab ke ghar mein phoolon ke gucchoon phenk raha tha
Kal Zainab ka ghar neelaam ho raha hai
Sarkari tehveel mein tha ek muddat se!
Shayad pat jhad ka mausam aa pahuncha
Patton ke girne ki aawaz musalsal aati hai
Chechak ka teeka beemari ko roke rakhta hai
Zabt-e-tauleed isqaat wagaira
Insani abadi ko badhne se rokenge
Bandar ne jab se do taangon par chalna seekha
Us ke zehn ne harkat mein aana seekha hai
Patton ke girne ki aawaz musalsal aati hai
Sadkon par roz naye chehre milte hain
Maut se hum ne ek taawun kar rakha hai
Pas-e-manzar mein nazar kahan jaati hai
Phoolon ki khushboo se kya kya yaad aata hai
Chauk mein jis din phool pade sadte thhe
Khooni darwaze par shehzadon ki phansi ka elaan hua tha
Yeh duniya lamha lamha jeeti hai
Dilli ki galiyan waisi hi abaad shad hain sab
Din to kaale par wale bagule hain
Jo sab lamhon ko
Apne pankhon mein moond ke aankhon se ojhal ho jaate hain
Chaaron jaanib rang rang ke jhande udte hain
Sab ki jaibon mein insaanon ke dukh dard ka darmaan
Khushiyon ka nuskha bandha pada hai
Lekin aisa kyun hai
Jab nuskha khulta hai
1857 jaata hai
1947 aa jaata hai
