Lagi Ik Umr! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Lagi Ik Umr!

Rating: 3.5


Lagi ik umr lekin
phir samajh mein aa gai mujh ko
mukhalif samt chalti
her hawa batlaa gai mujh ko
k apni zindagi jeenay ka yeh
behtar qareena he
saharay dhoondna chhorro
saharay baantnaa seekho
keh yeh roshan haqeeqat he
sahara dhoondnay waalay
sada tanha hi rehte hen

ye ek sad poem hy. ye poem sachi b hy. haqiqat udas q krti hy! shayad 'umeed' lagany waly udas hoty hn. or haqiqat bhoolny waly bhi. m ny bachpan me ek sher parha tha. 'm Tujh sy na maangu, to na maangu ga kisi sy. m Tera hun, Tu mera Khuda, mera Khuda hy'

Indeed a meditating message, something to ponder upon! ! ! Your poetry is always with a strong message. while reading this poem, i felt as if you have written down my feelings here because i feel the same way :))) so hats off to you dear poet for presenting this notable message in a beautiful way. The last lines grabbed my whole attention and i just can't help reading them again and again :)))
