Shikam-e-madar main baitha voh sonchta tha
Kya meri maan mujhe yun maar dalegi
Aj aisi kya beeti hai us pe Maula
Jo subh se na mili hai ab-e-hayat
Kis tarah ab milegi mujhe meri khuraq
Vada jo tune kiya tha, koi zariya bana
Kis qadar mahdood hun main is shikam main
Maut aur hayaat ke darmiyan,
Hai yeh nau (9) maah ki zindagi
Tujhe khabar nahin mere Maula
Jo mere sath, kisi aur ke ghar aya tha
Uski maan ne use zinda shikam main dafnaya tha
Jab se aisi koi khabar ati hai
Yeh nau(9) maah ki zindagi badtar nazar ati hai
Kis tarah tune mujhe apna banaya hai
Ek ek dane ke liye uska banaya hai
Voh bhi kya sonchti hogi ki kya baar hun main
Ji jise chahe voh ji ka janjaal hun main
Bas ek hi dua lab par mere ati hai
Uski khushi main maut bhi shakkar nazar ati hai
Zindagi phir jo mili to voh saza si hogi
Maut ab mere liye ek dua si hogi
Aye meri maan kaat de jo rabt hai mujhse
Koi pooche to kehde ki khabt hai mujhse
Shikam-e-madar: Womb of the mother; ab-e-hayat: water of life; shikam: womb
Below is just an attempt to translate my own poem which is very hard. Doesn't sounds like the one above
In his mother’s womb he was thinking,
Will my mother will kill me like this
What happens to her today?
Haven’t got a single drop of water
How will I get my sustenance? My Lord!
Which you have promised, find a way
How limited I am in this womb
Between Death and life
This living of 9 months
You don’t know my Lord!
The one who came to the other house with me
Was buried alive in his mother’s womb
Since then, whenever I get any news like this
This life of 9 months become even worst for me
How have you made me for you
Always asking for food and sustenance to her
How she must have be thinking of a load like me
Whom she likes and detest the most
Now only one prayer comes to my lips
In her happiness even death will taste sweeter
If still I remain alive it will be a punishment
Death will remain like a prayer to me
O mother! Kill all the connections which I have with you
If any one ask, tell him that I was just a madness

A Tribute to Mahatma
Jab har tarf andhera tha to deep jalaya tumne
Ek ujre chaman ko yun basaya tumne
Farq haq aur batil ka samjhaya humko
Paigham-e-mohabbat yun phailaya tumne
Phir chor chale tanha, gum ho gaye tum
Kyon aur kab yeh bhi na bataya tumne
Kis qadar sab ko zaroorat hai tumhari
Kya sonch kar daman churaya tumne
Hai yaqeen dil main ki phir milenge
Aisa rishta humara sajaya tumne
Zindagi main inteqaal ki hasrat hai bepanaah
Maut ka munatazir jo banaya tumne
Ek ujre chaman ko yun basaya tumne
Farq haq aur batil ka samjhaya humko
Paigham-e-mohabbat yun phailaya tumne
Phir chor chale tanha, gum ho gaye tum
Kyon aur kab yeh bhi na bataya tumne
Kis qadar sab ko zaroorat hai tumhari
Kya sonch kar daman churaya tumne
Hai yaqeen dil main ki phir milenge
Aisa rishta humara sajaya tumne
Zindagi main inteqaal ki hasrat hai bepanaah
Maut ka munatazir jo banaya tumne

Akela Musaafir
Naye daur ka naya musafir ban ke
Nikla hai dekho kaise than ke
Bhool gaya ahbaab purane
Bichre phool apne chaman ke
Maan kyon kar phir yaad rakhti
Apni aulaad ko jan ke
Qudrat ka yeh insaaf
Na samajh main aya man ke
Chal raha hai voh akela
Faslay tay kar gagan ke
Nikla hai dekho kaise than ke
Bhool gaya ahbaab purane
Bichre phool apne chaman ke
Maan kyon kar phir yaad rakhti
Apni aulaad ko jan ke
Qudrat ka yeh insaaf
Na samajh main aya man ke
Chal raha hai voh akela
Faslay tay kar gagan ke
Har dard ki vajah Pakistaan main hai......
Ek awaaz khatarnaak raigistaaN main hai
Rooh-e-insaan kaise bayabaaN main hai
Har tarf dahshat aur tareeki ka alam
Har shaakh pe ullu gulistaaN main hai
Azmat-e-mulk aur mera junoon
Neelaam bazar-e-inglistaaN main hai
Voh charkh-e-chaharum se dekhte hain tamasha
Machi kaisi halchal qabristaaN main hai
Mere ishq ne use pakeeza kar diya
Meri mohabbat to kisi paristaaN main hai
Ek shama-e-aarzoo jalti hai raat din
Jism mera kisi shamshaaN main hai
Logon ne kis qadar na samjha mujhe
Poocho to us kamal se jo kuredaaN main hai
Hindustaan ki barhti abaadi ka sabab
Har dard ki vajah pakistaaN main hai
Kaise chalun zindagi main na samajh aya kabhi
Sari samajh to hamare siyasatdaaN main hai
Rooh-e-insaan kaise bayabaaN main hai
Har tarf dahshat aur tareeki ka alam
Har shaakh pe ullu gulistaaN main hai
Azmat-e-mulk aur mera junoon
Neelaam bazar-e-inglistaaN main hai
Voh charkh-e-chaharum se dekhte hain tamasha
Machi kaisi halchal qabristaaN main hai
Mere ishq ne use pakeeza kar diya
Meri mohabbat to kisi paristaaN main hai
Ek shama-e-aarzoo jalti hai raat din
Jism mera kisi shamshaaN main hai
Logon ne kis qadar na samjha mujhe
Poocho to us kamal se jo kuredaaN main hai
Hindustaan ki barhti abaadi ka sabab
Har dard ki vajah pakistaaN main hai
Kaise chalun zindagi main na samajh aya kabhi
Sari samajh to hamare siyasatdaaN main hai
