Tadfin

tadfin

chaar taraf sannate ki divaren hain

aur markaz men ik taaza taaza qabr khudi hai

koi janaza aane vaala hai

kuchh aur nahin to aaj shahadat ka kalma sunne ko milega

kanon ke ik sadi purane qufl khulenge

aaj miri qallash samaat ko avaz ki daulat arzani hogi

divaron ke saae men ik bahut bada amboh numayan hota hai

jo ahista ahista qabr ki janib aata hai

in logon ke qadmon ki koi chaap nahin hai

lab hilte hain lekin harf sada banne se pahle mar jaate hain

ankhon se aansu jaari hain

lekin aansu to vaise bhi

dil o dimagh ke sannaton ki timsalen hote hain

mayyat qabr men utri hai

aur hadd-e-nazar tak log bilakte hue dikhai dete hain

aur sirf dikhai dete hain

aur kaan dharo to sannate hi sunai dete hain

jab qabr mukammal ho jaati hai

ik budha jo ”vaqt” nazar aata hai apne huliye se

hathon men uthae katba qabr pe jhukta hai

jab uthta hai to katbe ka har harf garajne lagta hai

ye lauh-e-mazar ”avaz” ki hai!
