یہ بڑھتی ہوئ عمر یا یہ گھٹتی ہوئ عمر This Increasing Or Decreasing Age

Rating: 5.0

ہم سنتے بہت کچھ ہیں سمجھتے ہیں زرا سا
ہم زیادہ بگڑتے ہیں سنورتے ہیں زرا سا
تم روشنی سورج کی ہمیں چاندنی پیاری
ہم آگ کے پھندوں میں الجھتے ہیں زرا سا
ہنسنے دو ہمیں پھول ہیں دو دن کو کھلے ہیں
یہ مفت کی خوشبو ہے مہکتے ہیں زرا سا
تم رات کی رانی ہو تمہیں شور سے نفرت
ہم صبح کے پنچھی ہیں چہکتے ہیں زرا سے
برسات کی بارش ہو کڑکتی ہوئ بجلی
ھم جاڑوں کے بادل ہیں برستے ہیں زرا سا
پھر پہنو وہ کنگن کہ کؤی گیت سنیں ہم
وہ سونے کے کنگن جو کھنکتے ہیں زرا سا
ایک جھونکا ہوا کا ہمیں بکھرا کے ہے رکھتا
کر کر کے جتن برسوں سمٹتے ہیں زرا سا
وہ یار ہے ہم یار کی زلفوں کا محظ خم
الجھے ہوۓ رہتے ہیں سلجھتے ہیں زرا سا
یہ بڑھتی ہوئ عمر یا یہ گھٹتی ہوئ عمر
اب سن لی بہت اسکی تو کہتے ہیں زرا سا

This Increasing Or Decreasing Age

I listen to a lot but follow a little,
I eat so much but swallow a little,
You are sunlight I love moonlight,
Away from the fire I am never bright,
A queen of Night You take me as a noise,
A morning bird I am with a musical poise,
let me laugh I am a short living flower,
Elegance for your eyes a fragrant shower,
You're a wild kiss of the rainy storms,
I'm a snow fall that can change its forms,
Could I see that golden bracelet in your wrists,
Why has gone its music somewhere in the mists,
Efforts we make to rejoin the pieces of life.
But break once again in an uncalled strife,
We have listened to the laughter of increasing age,
Read what's being written by tears on the last page.

life is like a dark forest half way you are entering it the other half you are exiting likewise in life first half of the age is governed by our best gene Y for guys and X for women Then as we age beautifully truly as dictated by those genes the second half is a turmoil we all boil man behaves like a woman and woman

One of the brilliant men that can give us wisdom as to aging is the great Poet, Sir Akhtar. The opening lines alone could grip a reader to go through the whole write. Liked the closure lines. Very touching. A wonderful poem well crafted.

Wow both the Urdu shairi and the English are expressed in impressive poetic muse and style with superb sighing wry feelings expressed. Kudos for the fine brill poetry.
