Ghazal by : Parveen Shakir

بادبان کھلنے سے پہلے کا اشارہ دیکھنا
Behold the omen before the sails unfurl.

میں سمندر دیکھتی ہوں، تم کنارا دیکھنا
I gaze upon the sea, while you behold the shore.

یوں بچھڑنا بھی بہت آسان نہ تھا اُس سے مگر
Parting from her was no simple task, yet—

جاتے جاتے اُس کا وہ مُڑ کر دوبارہ دیکھنا
As she left, that turning glance once more.

آئینے کی آنکھ ہی کچھ کم نہ تھی میرے لیے
The mirror’s eye alone was weight enough for me—

جانے اب کیا کیا دکھائے گا تمہارا دیکھنا
Now who knows what your gaze will reveal to me.
