Word Waves/ Mauj-e-Alfaaz

Words reverberate
flow eternally
winds whisper
withdraw
compromise.
These word waves carry
scarred anguishes
of the mind and heart
engraved (as if)
on a sacred tablet
destined and doomed
to ever confront
history’s shoreline.
Mauj-e-Alfaaz
Alfaaz yeh goonjhtay
aur
ra’waaN hee rahaiN gay
karti haiN hawaa-aiN
ma’dhoor sargoshiaN
waapis lay lo in ko
aur karlo samjhota
ma’hiyyat say apni.
.
LafzouN ki am’waaj maiN
naa’la-e-dil hay
souz-e-darouN hay
loh-e-mahfooz pay sab’t
saahil say yeh sada
takraatay rahaiN gay.
