***un jheel si gehri ankhoN maiN
ik shaam kahiN aabaad tu ho
us jheel kinaaray pal do pal
ik khwaab ka neela phool khilay
wo phool baha daiN lehroN maiN
ik roz kabhi hum shaam dhalay
uss phool k behtay rangoN maiN
jis waqt laraztaa chaand chalay
uss waqt kahiN uN ankhoN maiN
uss basray pal ki yaad tu ho
uN jheel si gehri ankhoN maiN
ik shaam kahiN aabaad tu ho
phir chahay umar samandar ki
har moj preshaa’N ho jaa’ey
phir chahay aankh dareechay say
her khwaab guray’zaa ho jaa’ey
phir chahay phool k chehray ka
her dard numa’yaan ho jaae’y
uss jheel kinaray pal do pal
wo roop-nagar iijaad tu ho
din raat k iss aaiee’nay say
wo aks kabhi aazaad tu ho
un jheel si gehri ankhoN maiN
ik shaam kahiN aabaad tu ho

Hoti haina, kabhi jheelon ke seene mai khushki palti hai, kabhi khushki par paniyon ke jazeeray tairte hain. Jahan tak rah isham aor andheron ki baat, jab andhera andar se uth’ta hai, to koi suraj, koi taray us andhere ko kam nahi kar sakte. ZIndgi to nam hi bakhairho ka hai muncho.
Coming back to the poem. Oh so lyrical Amjad Islam Amjad has got the privilege of unchartered no man’s land when it comes to romantic poetry. He simply rocks.
