inqilabi aurat

Fahmida Riaz

ranbhūmī meñ laḌte laḌte maiñ ne kitne saal

ik din jal meñ chhāyā dekhī chaTTe ho ga.e baal

pāpaḌ jaisī huiiñ haDDiyāñ jalne lage haiñ daañt

jagah jagah jhurriyoñ se bhar ga.ī saare tan khaal

dekh ke apnā haal huā phir us ko bahut malāl

are maiñ buḌhiyā ho jā.ūñgī aayā na thā ḳhayāl

us ne sochā

gar phir se mil jaa.e javānī

jis ko likhte haiñ dīvānī

aur mastānī

jis meñ us ne inqalāb laane Thānī

vahī javānī

ab baar nahīñ dūñgī koī qurbānī

bas lā-haul paḌhūñgī aur nahīñ dūñgī koī qurbānī

dil ne kahā

kis soch meñ hai ai pāgal buḌhiyā

kahāñ javānī

ya.anī us ko guzre ab tak kaafī arsa biit chukā hai

ye ḳhayāl bhī der se aayā

bas ab ghar

buḌhiyā ne kab us maanī

hālāñki ab vo hai naanī

zāhir hai ab aur vo kar bhī kyā saktī thī

āsmān par lekin taare āñkh-micholī khel rahe the

raat ke panchhī bol rahe the

aur kahte the

ye shāyad us aadat hai

shāyad us fitrat hai

ranbhumi mein laDte laDte main ne kitne sal

ek din jal mein chhaya dekhi chaTTe ho gae baal

papaD jaisi huin haDDiyan jalne lage hain dant

jagah jagah jhurriyon se bhar gai sare tan ki khaal

dekh ke apna haal hua phir us ko bahut malal

are main buDhiya ho jaungi aaya na tha KHayal

us ne socha

gar phir se mil jae jawani

jis ko likhte hain diwani

aur mastani

jis mein us ne inqalab lane ki Thani

wahi jawani

ab ki bar nahin dungi koi qurbani

bas la-haul paDhungi aur nahin dungi koi qurbani

dil ne kaha

kis soch mein hai ai pagal buDhiya

kahan jawani

yani us ko guzre ab tak kafi arsa bit chuka hai

ye KHayal bhi der se aaya

bas ab ghar ja

buDhiya ne kab us ki mani

haalanki ab wo hai nani

zahir hai ab aur wo kar bhi kya sakti thi

aasman par lekin tare aankh-micholi khel rahe the

raat ke panchhi bol rahe the

aur kahte the

ye shayad us ki aadat hai

ya shayad us ki fitrat hai
