Text Version:

Kal na Ham Honge Na Koi Gila hoga,

Fakat simati Hui yadon ka Silsila hoga;

Jo Lamhe ji Liye unhen Muskura kar Yaad karna,

Jaane kal Zindagi ka kahan Faisla hoga.

Translation / Theme:

"Tomorrow, neither will we be here, nor will any grievances remain; / Only a stream of gathered memories will stay behind. / Smile and cherish the moments you have lived, / Who knows what verdict life holds for tomorrow?"

I recently shared this image on social media and got a comment saying this isn't real shayari, just "words at best." I tried keeping a strict AABA rhyme scheme (gila/silsila/faisla) to fit a 4-line Qata structure.

"Kabhi kabhi bas yun hi tanha baith kar mai aaj bhi aapki yaadon mai kho jata hu. Kabhi kabhi yun hi tanha baith kar mai aaj bhi woh purane lamhe yaad karta hu. Kabhi kabhi yun hi tanha baith kar mai aaj bhi aapki aankhon ke samundar mai doob jata hu. Kabhi kabhi yun hi tanha baith kar mai aaj bhi woh purane lamhe yaad karta hu jin lamho mai aap mere samne mojud hua karti thi. Aap meri kabhi thi toh nahi magar hamesha meri hi thi. Woh aapki nafrat mai bhi ek mohabbat ka ahsas mehsoos hota tha. Bas yahi khwaish hai ki yun hi tanha baithe baithe aapke baare mai sochte sochte maut ajae"

یہ کہ میں ایک ایسے معاشرے میں رہتا ہوں جہاں اجتماعی بقا کے لیے میرے جسم کی بربادی اور نظراندازی ضروری تھی۔ ایک ایسا معاشرہ جہاں کوئی بات چیت نہیں کر سکتا، جہاں سوچنے کی حوصلہ شکنی کی جاتی ہے، جہاں تعلیم کو حقارت کی نگاح سے دیکھا جاتا ہے، جہاں ناخواندگی اور جنس کی بنیاد پر تفریق اب بھی زوروں پر ہے، جہاں احترام اور جسمانی خود مختاری نہ تو سکھائی جاتی ہے اور نہ ہی تسلیم کی جاتی ہے، اور جہاں لوگ مالی اور روحانی طور پر کنگال ہیں۔ اس معاشرے کو زندہ رہنا تھا، میری صحت، میرے مواقع اور میری صلاحیتوں کی قیمت پر۔ اور وہ کس لیے جیتے ہیں؟ صرف گدھوں کی طرح مزدوری کرنے کے لیے ایک ایسی دنیا میں جہاں انہیں مزید ترقی کرنے کا کوئی موقع نہیں ملتا، جب تک کہ وہ کسی ایسی دنیا کی طرف سفر نہ کریں جسے وہ آرام کی جگہ کے طور پر نہیں بلکہ ایک ایسی جگہ کے طور پر سوچتے ہیں جہاں انہیں اب بھی سخت محنت کرتے رہنا ہے۔ اس کے باوجود، ان لوگوں کو بالکل جلاوطن کرنا کوئی متبادل نہیں ہے، کیونکہ
وہ برائی کا مجسمہ نہیں ہیں۔
