Andesha-e-Visal Ki Ek Nazm

Abbas Tabish

shafaq ke phuul thali men sajae sanvli aai

charaghon se laven khinchin darichon men nami aai

men samjha us se milne ki ghadi aai

hava jarub-kash thi asman-asar tinkon ki

jise apni suhulat ke liye duniya… ye tan-asan duniya… ik muravvat men

hujum-e-khalq kahti hai

miri ankhen tahi gul-dan ki surat munderon par

gali se uthne vaali gard ko titli batati hain

ye manzar munjamid ho kar safar aghaz karta hai

lahu ki barq-raftari tanaben khench leti hai

ye kaisi sham-e-shahzadi

shafaq ke phuul thali men sajae zina-e-shab se utar aai

men samjha us se milne ki ghadi aai

salakhon se lahu phuta lahu men raushni aai
