POEM_: Aakhri Qadam / आख़री क़दम / آخری قدم

Main
tumhare bina jee nahin sakta
Yeh bakwaas hai
tumhare bina
jeena nahin chahta, yeh sach

Aur yoon
main tum tak aane ke liye
ninnanve qadam chal sakta hoon
magar aakhri qadam
tumhen hi chalna hoga

- owais

मैं  
तुम्हारे बिना जी नहीं सकता
यह बकवास है
तुम्हारे बिना  
जीना नहीं चाहता, यह सच

और यूं  
मैं तुम तक आने के लिए  
निन्नानवे क़दम चल सकता हूँ  
मगर आख़री क़दम  
तुम्हें ही चलना होगा

- उवैस

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


میں
تمہارے بنا جی نہیں سکتا 
یہ بکواس ہے 
تمہارے بنا
جینا نہیں چاہتا، یہ سچ

اور یوں
میں تم تک آنے کے لئے
نننا نوے قدم چل سکتا ہوں 
مگر آخری قدم 
تمہیں ہی چلنا ہوگا

- اویس
