chhuTpuTe ke ghurfe mein
lamhe ab bhi milte hain
subh ke dhundalke mein
phul ab bhi khilte hain
ab bhi kohsaron par
sar-kashida hariyali
pattharon ki diwaren
toD kar nikalti hai
ab bhi aab-zaron par
kashtiyon ki surat mein
zist ki tawanai
zawiye badalti hai
ab bhi ghas ke maidan
shabnami sitaron se
mere KHak-dan par bhi
aasman sajate hain
ab bhi khet gandum ke
tez dhup mein tap kar
is gharib dharti ko
zar-fishan banate hain
saye ab bhi chalte hain
suraj ab bhi Dhalta hai
subhen ab bhi raushan hain
raaten ab bhi kali hain
zehn ab bhi chaTyal hain
ruhen ab bhi banjar hain
jism ab bhi nange hain
hath ab bhi KHali hain
ab bhi sabz faslon mein
zindagi ke rakhwale
zard zard chehron par
KHak oDhe rahte hain
ab bhi un ki taqdiren
munqalib nahin hotin
munqalib nahin hongi
kahne wale kahte hain
gardishon ki ranai
aam hi nahin hoti
apne roz-e-awwal ki
sham hi nahin hoti
Nazm
Ek nazm
Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi
