تبسم


(English version after Urdu)

بامِ فلک پہ ابھرا خفیف سا تبسم

فلک پر دور تلک

پھیلی تھی ردائے سحاب

شوخیاں تھیں بادِ صبا کی

عروج پر

کرتی تھی سرگوشیاں کبھی طیور سے

لہلہاتے کبھی برگ و گل

ہمراہ اس کے

چند لمحے بعد۔۔۔

آیا ہلال بامِ فلک پر

تھکا تھکا سا

نیند سے بوجھل

لگا تھا سونے اوڑھ کر نور کی چادر

یک دم جو اٹھی بادِ صبا

پھسل کر شجر کی ڈال سے

گھبرا سے گئے طیور

چھوڑ کر آشیاں اپنے

اڑنے لگے فلک پر

منظر یہ دیکھا ہلال نے

آنے لگی اس کو ہنسی

پر تھا نیند سے بوجھل بہت

مگر۔۔۔

بامِ فلک پر ابھرا

ایک خفیف سا تبسُم

دیر تلک!

ایک ادنیٰ سی کاوش آزاد نظم لکھنے کی

Every corner of the sky

Was donned in clouds

Soft breeze was cherishing loud

She was whispering to chirpy birds

The next moment

Flowers were dancing with her

A while later…

Crescent appeared on the sky

Tired!

Dreamy!

Covered in a sheet of light

Was about to sleep

Suddenly! soft breeze soar high

When slipped from the twig.

Chirpy birds got scared

Left their abode they flew up in the sky

Laughter came to crescent

When saw this scene

But sleepy and knackered it was

But!……

A hint of smile did appear

At the parapet of the sky

A rather longer!

(The beauty of Urdu is unprecedented 😊)

    Is this your first trial ?
