SELF ENTRUST


            By Shamim Qasmi

In the deep silence of the lake

Of body's garden

There was a surprising scene of

A grayish evening

While in the extened mesdow

Up to the sight

An attractive blossom was there

In the besieging of the smoke

Bare feet were there

Something seemed to be run again

Through my own heels

Started creeping towards the heart

It was only delay to throw

The pebble of thought

In the lake of body's garden

And I began to get moistened.

* Ajab sa ab iraada kar raha hai *

Ajab sa ab iraada kar raha hai
likhe auraaq saada kar raha hai

ghazal mei'n gholta hai ras labo'n ke
abhi teekhii zyada kar raha hai

thee is ke haath mei'n sandal see lakrhi
naa jaane kyo'n burada kar raha hai

chupane se nahii chupta hai lahja
agar woh irada kar raha hai

nahi mabaed ka chakkar nahii hai
faqat azhaan taazah kar raha hai

* IK NAYA AASMAN PAIDA KAR, *

IK NAYA AASMAN PAIDA KAR,
TAB PARO'N MEI'N URHAAN PAIDA KAR,
BADSHAHI QOBOOL HAI LEKIN,
KUCHH FAQIRANA SHAAN PAIDA KAR,
KHWAHISHO'N KE GULAB KHILNE DE,
KO'NPLO'N MEI'N UTHAAN PAIDA KAR,
TERE HONE KI INTEHA NA RAHE,
ITNE WAHMO'N GUMAAN PAIDA KAR,
HO NA MAJROOH MERA ROOE SUKHAN,
MERI GHAZLO'N MEI'N JAAN PAIDA KAR.
KHWAHISHO'N KE GULAB KHILNE DE,
KO'NPALO'N MEI'N UTTHAAN PAIDA KAR,
TERE HONE KI INTEHA NA RAHE,
ITNE WAHMO'N GUMAAN PAIDA KAR,
HO NA MAJROOH MERA ROOE SOKHAN,
MERI GHAZLO'N MEI'N JAAN PAIDA KAR.

* KITNE MANZER DEKH SAKOGE KITNA MANZER AAYE'NGE, *

KITNE MANZER DEKH SAKOGE KITNA MANZER AAYE'NGE,
AIK SAMUNDER PAAR KAROGE KAI SAMUNDER AAYE'NGE,
MAUSAM KE TEWAR KAHTE HAI'N LAAKH URHAANE BHAR LE'N HAM,
URHTE URHTE THAK JAAYE'NGE LAUT KE PHIR GHAR AAYE'NGE,
ROZ AZAL SE RUSWAAYI KA TAUQ GALE MEI'N DALA HAI,
JITNE BHI ILZAAM LAGE'NGE APNE HI SAR AAYE'NGE,
UNKI APNI BANDISH HOGI, HO'NGE UNKE APNE TEWAR,
MERI GHAZLO'N MEI'N JITNE ALFAAZ KE PEEKAR AAYE'NGE,
DIL KE DARIICHE KHOL KE RAKKHO AUR HAME'N MAHSOOS KARO,
HAM TO ANDER AUR BHI ANDER AUR BHI ANDER AAYE'NGE.
