The lonely Woman
Poet: Asim Zulfiqar By: ASIM ZULFIQAR, karachii saw a woman sitting along the highway ,
she was waiting for someone or might be astray,
tired or might be she was betrayed .
was trying to smile or might be pushing sorrows away ,
i was seeing her from the otherside ,
she must be in trouble ,i compiled.
i crossed the road to let her guide.
i greet her , but she did'nt replied.
she was in the deep thought ,
about all the lessons life had taught ,
and all the things she had got ,
i was confused at that spot ,
suddenly the noise of truck makes her out of situation,
she saw me as noise breaks her concentration ,
i asked her can i know the reason of your depression ?
or may i guide you to your destination .
she smiled with tears in her eyes ,
i have no destination , she replies .
never hurt a lady , she advices .
that answer makes me surprised .
i asked , is something wrong ?
she told me her husband had left her alone .
and also taking her happiness along.
and she do not wants to live anymore.
i asked her what you will do now ?
she smiles and told me she don't know.
however i have memories my son to live ,
she left , telling how her happiness blew.
she was the daughter of eve ,
that why she was brave .
کس بات کی آخر جلدی ہے کس بات کا پھر یہ رونا ہے
دنیا کے مصائب جھیلنے کو مالک نے بنایا ہے جیون
آرام بھلا پھر کاہے کا پھر کاہے یہ سونا ہے
بے مقصد جینا کہتے ہیں حیوان کے جیسا جینے کو
انساں کے لیے تو یہ جیون یارو پر خار بچھونا ہے
دشوار سہی رستہ لیکن چلنا ہے ہمیں منزل کی طرف
منزل کی طلب میں عاکفؔ جی کچھ پانا ہے کچھ کھونا ہے
