उम्मीद

मेरी खामोशियों में भी फ़साना ढूँढ लेती है,
बड़ी शातिर है ये दुनिया बहाना ढूँढ लेती है,

हक़ीकत ज़िद किये बैठी है चकनाचूर करने को,
मगर हर आँख़ फिर सपना सुहाना ढूँढ लेती है,

ना चिड़िया की कमाई ना कारोबार है कोई,
वो केवल हौसले से आबुदाना ढूँढ लेती है,

समझ ना पाई दुनिया मस्लहत मंसूर की अब तक,
जो सूली पर भी हँसना मुस्कुराना ढूँढ लेती है,

उठाती है जो ख़तरा हर कदम पर डूब जाने का,
वही कोशिश समन्दर मे ख़ज़ाना ढूँढ लेती है,

जुनूं मन्ज़िल का राहों मे बचाता है भटकने से,
मेरी दीवानगी ख़ुद अपना ठिकाना ढूँढ लेती है!

    hakikat muje chur kar chuki,
    sapne ko hakikat kar nahi sakti;

    raste me manzil mujse ruth gai,
    diwangi mere kisi kaam na aayi;

    Ab kaisi ummid karu aur kisse karu?
    khud se karu ya khuda se karu?

    Irony:: Duniya fir bhi ummid pe kayam hai!

    Hey Jana,

    Really sorry about that. It is in Hindi script. I’ll try to translate it for you sometime. But, I am afraid, it will lose its charm and beauty :(

    Not aware of the source. Found it anonymous somewhere.

    how could the writer not leave a name with this beauty??? a beautiful orphan poem….. the irony is depressing..

  9. Posted March 18, 2007 at 10:12 am | Permalink

    Maybe the beauty does have an identity. Only we arent aware… Waise ye lawaris padi thi, inka naam karan bhi maine hi kiya hai…

    waah waah……bahut hi gamgin shaayar hain yeh…..mohatarmaan jara gaur farmaiye……ab kuch free flow shaayari ho jaaye

    paani bhi apna raasta dhoondh leti hai aur shikari bhi apna shikaar dhoondh lete hai,

    par aadmi do roti ke chakkar mein jindagi dhoondh nahin paata hai

    waah waah…..

    main poch poch ker thak gaya… kahan jao ge mujhe chor ker… wo jawab mujh ko na de saka …. wo tu kuhd sarapa sawal tha…. wo mila bhi sadyon baad mujh ko…. mere lab pe koi gila na tha.. use meri chup ne rula diya ….jise guftgu main kamal tha…

    Well, I just couldn’t disect “मस्लहत मंसूर” and hence, couldn’t identify the right meaning of that couplet. Otherwise, the rest of the whole is simply a piece of luster. I mean, whoever is the respectable author of this great ghazal has combined the radiance of life’s instances with his own brilliancy and watta piece of intensity created…. Too good!

    Here’s one on the sadder side for guys who’ld like to check… I had written it in a phase of life which was just not ready to pass and leave!
