آٹھ اکتوبر ۲۰۰۵ء
لکھوں تو کیا لکھوں!
کیسے لکھوں!
لفظوں کی ٹوٹی ہڈّیوں
کو کیسے جوڑوں
جو پھوٹا پڑ رہا ہے جیتا
جیتا خوں
صفحۂ قرطاس پر چنگاریاں
بن کر ٹپکتا ہے
زباں کچلی پڑی ہے
اور اگر بولوں
تو لگتا ہے
مجھے چیخوں کے سوا
کچھ بھی نہیں آتا
جنازوں پر یہاں زندہ
جنازے سینہ زن ہیں
کچھ اگر باقی ہے تو
رگ و پے میں اترتا درد ہے
قلب و جگر کو چیرتا
دُکھ ہے
مجھے تو یہ کہنا نہیں
آتا
کچھ آتا ہے
تو ایسے المیے پر
اور عناصر کے مقابل
اپنی فطری بے بسی پر
ٹوٹ کر رہنا ہی آتا
ہے
لکھوں تو کیا لکھوں!
