کامِل بشر ۔ میوہ رام امنؔ
۱
بے خبر مصلوب کرنے باخبر کو لے چلے
دو پہر میں مالکِ شام و سحر کو لے چلے
۲
سرخ چوغہ زیبِ تن اور زیبِ سر کانٹوں کا تاج
اِس طرح ظالم اُسے پیدل سفر کو لے چلے
۳
زندگی کا راستہ مسدود کرنے کے لئے
باندھ کر اِبنِ خدا، کامل بشر کو لے چلے
۴
آج مریم کا کوئی غمخوار اور مونس نہیں
رہ گئی تھامے جگر، لختِ جگر کو لے چلے
۵
اِس میں ہے کچھ راز، وہ نا محرمِ رازِ صلیب
رہبری کے واسطے ایک راہبر کو لے چلے
۶
ہو گیا فطرت کا دل مجروح اے امنِؔ حزیں
مار کر کوڑوں سے جب حق کے پسر کو لے چلے
कामिल बशर – मेवा राम अमन
१
बे-ख़बर मस्लूब करने बा-ख़बर को ले चले
दो पहर में मालिक-ए शाम ओ सहर को ले चले
२
सुर्ख़ चोग़ा ज़ेब-ए तन और ज़ेब-ए सर कांटौं का ताज
इस तरह ज़ालिम उसे पैदल सफ़र को ले चले
३
ज़िन्दगी का रास्ता मस्दूद करने के लिए
बांध कर इब्न-ए ख़ुदा, कामिल बशर को ले चले
४
आज मरियम का कोई ग़मख़्वार और मोनिस नहीं
रह गई थामे जिगर, लख़्त-ए जिगर को ले चले
५
इस में है कुछ राज़ वो ना-महरम-ए राज़-ए सलीब
रहबरी के वास्ते एक राहबर को ले चले
६
हो गया फ़ित्रत का दिल मज्रूह अए अमन-ए हज़ीं
मार कर कोड़ौं से जब हक़ के पिसर को ले चले
Click here for background and on any passage for word meanings and explanatory discussion. A series of posts shows how urdu has cut across lines of religion and mother tongue. The series on non-muslim poets is just as rich as that on muslim poets. Similarly, under “n’aat-e masiihi” are odes to Christ composed in urdu, by Christians of different language backgrounds. This nazm of meva ram aman barelavi (1923-xxxx), of hindu background and probably hindi mother tongue, writing an elegy about the crucifixion of Christ in urdu!
