اسٹیل مِلز کا ایک خصوصی مزدور ۔ پروین شاکر
۱
کالا بھوت
جیسے کوئلے کے نطفے سے جنم لیا ہو
۲
ایک جہنّمی درجہ حرارت پر رہتے ہوئے
اُس کا کام دہکتی بھٹّی میں کوئلے جھوکتے رہنا تھا
۳
اُس کے بدلے اُس کو اُجرت بھی زیادہ مِلتی تھی
اور خوراک بھی خصوصی
اور ایک وقت میں چار گھنٹے سے زیادہ کام نہیں لیا جاتا تھا
۴
لیکن شاید اُس کو یہ نہیں معلوم
کہ خود کشی کے اِس معاہدے پر
۵
اُس نے
بقائمی ہوش و حواس دستخت کیے تھے
اِس بھٹی کا ایندھن دراصل وہ خود ہے
स्टील मिल्ज़ का एक ख़ुसूसी मज़दूर – परवीन शाकिर
१
काला भूत
जैसे कोएले के नुत्फ़े से जनम लिया हो
२
एक जहन्नमी दर्जा हरारत पर रहते हुए
उस का काम दहकती भट्टी में कोएले झोंकते रहना था
३
उस के बदले उस को उज्रत भी ज़्यादा मिलती थी
और ख़ुराक भी ख़ुसूसी
और एक वक़्त में चार घंटे से ज़्यादा काम नहीं लिया जाता था
४
लेकिन शा’एद उस को ये नहीं मालूम
के ख़ुदकुशी के इस मुआहेदे पर
५
उस ने
बक़ा’एमी होश ओ हवास दस्तख़त किए थे
इस भट्टी का ईंधन दरअस्ल वह ख़ुद है
Click here for background and on any passage for word meanings and explanatory discussion. parveen shakir (1952-1994), English literature and linguistics, correspondent, educator, Pakistan Civil Service officer.
