‘JAVAAZ’

By:

Parveen Shakir

Kitni SunSaan Zindagi Thi,

Sub Taaq Mere Diye Se Khali,

BeBarg O Samar Badan Ki Daali,

Khedki Pe Na Aa Ke Baithe Chedya,

Aangan Mein Bhatak Sake Na Titli,

Sanjoog Ki BeNamoo Rutoon Se,

Main Kitni Udaas Ho Chali Thi,

Awaaz Ke Sail-E-Panah Mein,

Main Thi, Mere Ghar Ki Khamoshi Thi,

Par Dekh To Aa Ke Laal Mere,

Is Kalba-E-Gham Mein Mujh Ko Tere,

Aane Ki Naveed Kya Mili Hai,

Jeene Ka Javaaz Mil Gaya Hai.
