ایک نظم کہیں سے بھی شروع ہو سکتی ہے — ثروت حسین

Ek nazm kahin se bhi shuru ho sakti hai

Ek nazm kahin se bhi shuru ho sakti hai
Jooton ki jodi se
Ya qabr se jo barish mein baith gayi
Ya us phool se jo qabr ki paaeni par khula
Har ek ko kahin na kahin panah mil gayi
Cheentiyon ko jaa-e-namaz ke neeche
Aur ladkiyon ko meri awaaz mein
Murda bail ki khopdi mein gilhehri ne ghar bana liya hai
Nazm ka bhi ek ghar hoga
Kisi jala watan ka dil ya intezaar karti hui aankhein
Ek pahiya hai jo banane wale se adhoora reh gaya hai
Use ek nazm mukammal kar sakti hai
Ek goonjta hua aasman nazm ke liye kaafi hota hai
Lekin yeh ek nashte dan mein ba-aasani sama sakti hai
Phool, aansoo aur ghantiyan is mein paroi ja sakti hain
Use andhere mein gaya ja sakta hai
Tehvaron ki dhoop mein sikhaya ja sakta hai
Tum use dekh sakti ho
Khali bartanon khali qabzon aur khali gahwaron mein
Tum use sun sakti ho
Haath gaadiyon aur janazon ke saath chalte hue
Tum उसे choom sakti ho
Bandargahon ki bheed mein
Tum use goondh sakti ho
Patthar ki manind mein
Tum use uga sakti ho
Podine ki kiyariyon mein
Ek nazm
Kisi bhi raat se tareek nahin ki ja sakti
Kisi talwar se kaati nahin ja sakti
Kisi deewar mein qaid nahin ki ja sakti
Ek nazm
Kahin bhi saath chhod sakti hai
Badal ki tarah
Hawa ki tarah
Raaste ki tarah
Baap ke haath ki tarah
