gehraa sannaaTaa hai
kuch makaanoN se Khamosh uThtaa hu’aa
gaaRhaa kaalaa dhuuaaN
mail dil meN liye
har taraf duur tak phailtaa jaataa hai
gehraa sannaaTaa hai
laash kii tarah bejaan hai raastaa
ek TuuTaa hu’aa Thelaa
ulTaa paRaa
apne pahiye havaa meN uThaaye hu’e
aasmaanoN ko hairat se taktaa hai
jaise ke jo bhii hu’aa
uskaa ab tak yaqiiN isko aayaa nahiiN
gehraa sannaaTaa hai
(Thelaa : wooden cart)
ek ujRii dukaaN
chiiKh ke baad muuNh
jo khulaa kaa khulaa rah gayaa
apne TuuTe kivaaRoN se vo
duur tak phaile
chuuRii ke TukRoN ko
hasratzadaa nazroN se dekhtii hai
ke kal tak yahii shiishe
is pople ke muuNh meN
sau rang ke daaNt the
gehraa sannaaTaa hai
(hasratzadaa : in anticipation)
gehre sannaaTe ne apne manzar se yuuN baat kii
sun le ujRii dukaaN
ai sulagte makaaN
TuuTe Thele
tumhiiN bas nahiiN ho akele
yahaaN aur bhii haiN
ham inkaa maatam kareNge
magar pahle unko to ro leN
ke jo luuTne aaye the
aur Khud luT gaye
kyaa luTaa
iskii unko Khabar hii nahiiN
kamnazar haiN
ke sadiyoN kii tehziib par
un bechaaroN kii ko’ii nazar hii nahiiN

may i know plz that why waheed akhtar and khaleel ur rahman aazmi’s names are not mentioned on this site, whereas these names are already mentioned on amu, urdu poetry, marsia and youtube sites. is there any particular reason or any ill-intention or any grudges?

Great Poetry collection. and i don’t think that this website has any intension of not using poet names like Waheed Akhtar and Khaleel ur Rehamn.
Please add their name as well so that people don’t dispute.
Anyways, very good effort.
Amazing Poetry, Masha Allah
