किस्मत--ए--गुल

वकत का तकाज़ा है, तू रफ्ता रफ्ता खिल,
इतना न बे-सब्र हो, कहीं खो न जाए दिल!
राही बने दीवाने कल, तेरे छोटे से दीदार से,
चर्चे हुए तेरे हुस्न के फिर शहर के बाज़ार में;
नज़रें टिका के बैठे है,जो दिल से कुछ बिमार है-
माली को रिशवत देने को कुछ भंवरे भी तैय्यार है.
वकत का तकाज़ा है, तू रफ्ता रफ्ता खिल,
इतना न बे-सब्र हो, कहीं खो न जाए दिल!
खुशबू उडाओगे अगर तुम इस तरह चमन में,
क्या माली सोए चैन से,कहां तुम रहो अमन में?
पूरा खिलने का क्या तुम,सही जानते अन्ज़ाम हो?
खुद ही माली तोड कर तुम्हे सौंप देगा अन्जान को.
वकत का तकाज़ा है,तू रफ्ता रफ्ता खिल,
इतना न बे-सब्र हो,कहीं खो न जाए दिल!
तुम से भी पहले फ़ूल कुछ इस गुलिस्तान मे आए थे,
किस्से जिनकी महक के झूम झूम के सब ने गाए थे;
कुछ बन गए फिर गुलवदन, कुछ जान थे गुलदान की,
पर जब तलक थी महक उनमे, तब तलक की शान थी.
वकत का तकाज़ा है,तू रफ्ता रफ्ता खिल,
इतना न बे-सब्र हो,कहीं खो न जाए दिल!
"राज़ी" ज़माना देखा है, सुबह से ले के शाम में,
मतलब निकल जाए तो तुम को फैंक दे गुलदान से;
यही अटल सच्चाई है, अरे गुल तू कहना मान ले!
टूटेजगा जिस दिन डाल से,फिर कोई न तेरा नाम ले.
वकत का तकाज़ा है,तू रफ्ता रफ्ता खिल,
इतना न बे-सब्र हो,कहीं खो न जाए दिल!

WAQT KA TAQAZA HAI, TU RAFTA RAFTA KHIL-
ITNA NA BESABAR HO, KAHIN KHO NA DE TU DIL;
RAAHI BANE DEEWANEY KAL, TERE CHHOTE SE DEEDAR SE-
CHARCHE HUYE TERE HUSAN KE FIR SEHAR KE BAZAAR MEIN;
NAZREIN TIKA AB BAITHAIYE HAIN KUCHH DIL KE JO BIMAR HAIN,
MALI KO RISHWAT DENE KO KUCHH BHANWAREN BHI TAIYAR HAIN.
WAQT KA TAQAZA HAI-------------------------------------
KHUSHBU UDAAOYEGE AGAR TUM, IS TARAH CHAMAN MEIN—
KYA MAALI SOYE CHAAIN SE, KYA TUM JIYOGE AMAN MEIN?
POORA KHILNE KA KYA TUM, SAHI JAANTE ANJAAM HO?
KHUD HI MAALI TOD KAR, TUMHE SAUNP DE ANJAAN KO.
WAQT KA TAQAZA HAI-------------------------------------
TUMSE BHI PEHLE PHOOL KUCHH IS GULISTAN MEIN AAYE THAIYE,
KISSE JINKI MEHAK KE, JHOOM JHOOM KE SAB NE GAAYE THAIYE;
KUCHH BAN GAYE FIR GULBADAN, KUCHH JAAN THAIYE GULDAN KI-
PAR JAB TALAK KI MEHAK UNMEIN, TAB TALAK KI SHAAN THHIYYI.
WAQT KA TAQAZA HAI------------------------------------
"Rajee" ZAMANA DEKHA HAI, SUBAH SE LE KE SHAAM MEIN,
MATLAB NIKAL JAYYE TOH TUMKO FAINK DE GULDAAN SE;
YEHI TOH ATAL SACHAI HAI, ARE GUL TU KEHNA MAAN LE-
TOOTEGA JIS DI N DAAL SE, FIR KOYI KIYON TERA NAAM LE?
WAQT KA TAQAZA HAI, TU RAFTA RAFTA KHIL-
ITNA NA BESABAR HO, KAHIN KHO NA DE TU DIL;

Dear binagupta,
Oh yea, each object, living or non-living , has utility for a given period---philosophies change, environs change, time changes, fashion changes, generations change and so on. Therefore the lesson is-------- use your assets carefully to carve out your name in the history-----because the moment you lose the attribute that likened you to every one----you are gone---dead and forgotten--so is with the fragrance of flower. And so is also with youthful beauty as well as charms of a young girl. This was the theme of my poem. Thanks for the visit. Regards. Rajee.

Dear Komlet,
Thanks dear. you see the poem is though an advice for the bud--but actually it is for a youn girl, if you see the deeper meaning. How sad the girls are given away in marriage to STRANGERS by the fathers(MALI) , who had nourished her with so much care--it is carrying these sentiments. But this is life and it moves likes this. Thanks for the visit. Where is your entry for the "Let us debate contest"? Regards. Rajee.

lovely sentiments expressed in your poem
as there is no hurry to bloom fully
