word waves / mauj e alfaaz

word waves
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
historyís shoreline

mauj-e-alfaaz
alfaaz yeh goonjhtay aur
raíwaaN hee rahaiN gay
karti haiN hawaa-aiN
maídhoor sargoshiaN
waapis lay lo in ko
aur karlo samjhota
maíhiyyat say apni

lafzouN ki amíwaaj maiN
naaíla-e-dil hay
souz-e-darouN hay
loh-e-mahfooz pay sabít
saahil say yeh sada
takraatay rahaiN gay
