Kabootar Se Computer Tak! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Kabootar Se Computer Tak!

Rating: 3.4


Kabhi esa bhi hota tha
Baharen jb bhi aati thiin
Tou apne sath jazbon ki nai faslen ugaati thiin
Hawaen geet gaati thiin
Fazaen muskuraati thiin
Wohi lamhaat hote thay
K jb ghamgeen nigaahon se jo dard aamez behte jam aate thay
Kabootar kaam aatay thay
Naey paigham laatay thay
Inhi lamhaat mein pinhaan hua krti thiin sub khushian …! ! !
Ab esa daur aya he
K sub k sub sada hr waqt hi log on rehte hen
Aur internet pe hr dm use laakhon phone hote hen
Dalail mein Faraz o Faiz o Ghalib note hote hen
Yaheen pr keats or Shelley k naghmay quote hote hen
Dilon pr kuchh naey jazbaat download hote hen
Ajab yeh khail hota hey
Gilay E-mail hote hen
Kabhi akhtar shumaari thi
Kabhi aankhon mein raaten thiin
Kabhi taaron se baaten thiin
Ab MSN pe chatting he
Kabhi FB pe tagging he
Kabhi qaasid k nakhray thay
Ab internet pe messengers ki taaza baharein hen
Magar ab kuchh bhi ho jaey
Zaraaey change ho jaen
Wisaal o hijr k naghmaat jis bhi rang, jis aahang mein ubhren
Kabootar ho ya computer
qareenay guftgu k jis shakal mein bhi badal jaen
yehi mehsoos hota he
muhabbat km nhi ho gi
muhabbat km nhi ho gi...! ! ! .

there is nice flow in your expression. a beautiful write. keep it up. poetry concerns with emotion only not language. I am being blamed by my colleague that I only write in english but it is not so. i do not have any hatred for any caste, creed, race or religion. i appreciate which is best for mankind as well as for universal kind. we can not isolate ourselves from another creatures of the nature. all have some job in natural phenomenon and all are doing so. we all are in service of the Almighty what ever you may name and we are pledged to do best. keep it up my frnd.

Wah.... Simply stunning... Kabootar kaam aatay thay Naey paigham laatay thay Kya kehnai... The idea is fairly superb... How everything changed! .. Old things gave place to new... change is the law of nature.. But here everything seems artificial, nothing spiritual cuz to quote U 'Jazbat Download hoti he'... I loved reading it, U wrote on something to which the world was blind, a neglected area... I appreciate ur effort, for U called our attention to it... nice write

Wow! ! ! ! ! How beautifully you compared the way of modern love which has passion but not any sense of spirituality!

Beautiful similitude....loved it....such an appropriate and apt use of vehicles of whispered change...done very well indeed….. However I feel the use of English could have been further restricted, if the poet had the will. The contemporary issue facing the newer generations will demand new rules and new goal posts….. It will get no such help from nature. likely it will slowly evolve like a monster in fetid sewers……..like say, the urban dictionary of its own slow self aware means…and sadly with similar implication.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I sense one thing in that jazbaat download hote hein. Mean today's jazbaat are ready made? But the ending is zabardast. Muhabbat hai aur rahegi. Muhabbat need not to be taught. No kabootar to tell people about Muhabbat. I like the ameza of Urdu and Englsih. You are just amazing. Change in material saqafat can not change human inside. Enjoyed it.
