  • بادل کی طرح ۔ پروین شاکر

    ۱

    پھر مرے شہر سے گزرا ہے وہ بادل کی طرح

    دستِ گُل پھیلا ہوا ہے مرے آںچل کی طرح

    ۲

    کہہ رہا ہے کِسی موسم کی کہانی اب تک

    جسم برسات میں بھیگے ہوے جنگل کی طرح

    ۳

    اُونچی آواز میں اُس نے تو کبھی بات نہ کی

    خفگیوں میں بھی وہ لہجہ رہا کومل کی طرح

    ۴

    مل کے اُس شخص سے میں لاکھ خموشی سے چلوں

    بول اُٹھتی ہے نظر پاؤں کی چھاگل کی طرح

    ۵

    پاس جب تک وہ رہے درد تھما رہتا ہے

    پھیلتا جاتا ہے پھر آنکھ کے کاجل کی طرح

    ۶

    اب کِسی طور سے گھر جانے کی صورت ہی نہیں

    راستے میرے لئے ہو گئے دلدل کی طرح

    ۷

    جسم کی تیرہ و آسیب زدہ مندر میں

    دِل سرِ شام سُلگ اُٹھتا ہے صندل کی طرح

    बादल की तरह – परवीन शाकेर

    फिर मेरे शहर से गुज़रा है वो बादल कि तरह

    दस्त-ए गुल फैला हुआ है मेरे आँचल की तरह

    कह रहा है किसी मौसम की कहानी अब तक

    जिस्म बरसात में भीगे हुए जंगल की तरह

    ऊंची आवाज़ में उस ने तो कभी बात न की

    ख़फ़गीयौं में भी वो लहजा रहा कोमल की तरह

    मिल के उस शख़्स से मैं लाख ख़ामोशी से चलूं

    बोल उठती है नज़र पाऊं की छागल की तरह

    पास जब तक वो रहे दर्द थमा रहता है

    फैलता जाता है फिर आँख के काजल की तरह

    अब किसी तौर से घर जाने की सूरत ही नहीं

    रास्ते मेरे लिए हो गए दलदल किए तरह

    जिस्म की तीरा ओ आसेब ज़दा मंदिर में

    दिल सर-ए शाम सुलग उठता है संदल की तरह

    jism barsaat meN bheege hue jaNgal ki tara    Her body is drenched, her sensuality is exposed and is telling the story of her encounter with the lover/beloved just like a forest that has been rained upon tells its story (wet, fresh, new shoots).
