315: SHIQURDU: साहिल (Tranquil Shore)

 

इक नाम  लिखा उसका, साहिल की रेत पर

 

 उम्र भर, लहरों से  दुश्मनी हो गयी

 

 

 

न सीखा किसी के लिए ठहरना मुसाफिर ने

 

न मुड़ के देखा कभी साहिलों को दरिया ने

 

 

 

ख्यालों में साहिल, पर फ़ितरत में समंदर होता है

 

तूफ़ाँ जो डुबो दे कश्ती को, कश्ती ही के अंदर

होता है

 

 

 

प्यासे ही रहे साहिल की रेत की तरह,

 

कई लहरें आई और चली गयीं

 

फिर भी प्यासे ही रहे साहिल की रेत की तरह

 

 

 

साहिल के सुकूँ से किसे इंकार है

 

लेकिन

 

तूफ़ान से लड़ने में मज़ा और ही कुछ है

 

 

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.
