Charagh

jahan rahega wahin raushni lutaega kisi charagh ka apna makan nahin hota इस शे’र में कई अर्थ ऐसे हैं जिनसे अंदाज़ा लगाया जा सकता है कि वसीम बरेलवी शे’र में अर्थ के साथ कैफ़ियत पैदा करने की कला से परिचित हैं। ‘जहाँ’ के सन्दर्भ से ‘वहीं’ और इन दोनों के सन्दर्भ से ‘मकाँ’, ‘चराग़’ के सन्दर्भ से ‘रौशनी’ और इससे बढ़कर ‘किसी’ ये सब ऐसे लक्षण हैं जिनसे शे’र में अर्थोत्पत्ति का तत्व पैदा हुआ है। शे’र के शाब्दिक अर्थ तो ये हो सकते हैं कि चराग़ अपनी रौशनी से किसी एक मकाँ को रौशन नहीं करता है, बल्कि जहाँ जलता है वहाँ की फ़िज़ा को प्रज्वलित करता है। इस शे’र में एक शब्द 'मकाँ' केंद्र में है। मकाँ से यहाँ तात्पर्य मात्र कोई ख़ास घर नहीं बल्कि स्थान है। अब आइए शे’र के भावार्थ पर प्रकाश डालते हैं। दरअसल शे’र में ‘चराग़’, ‘रौशनी’ और ‘मकाँ’ की एक लाक्षणिक स्थिति है। चराग़ रूपक है नेक और भले आदमी का, उसके सन्दर्भ से रोशनी रूपक है नेकी और भलाई का। इस तरह शे’र का अर्थ ये बनता है कि नेक आदमी किसी ख़ास जगह नेकी और भलाई फैलाने के लिए पैदा नहीं होते बल्कि उनका कोई विशेष मकान नहीं होता और ये स्थान की अवधारणा से बहुत आगे के लोग होते हैं। बस शर्त ये है कि आदमी भला हो। अगर ऐसा है तो भलाई हर जगह फैल जाती है। shafaq sopori

muddat hui hai yar ko mehman kiye hue

muddat hui hai yaar ko mehman kiye hue josh-e-qadah se bazm charaghhan kiye hue its been long, since my lover, was a guest of mine and my house was suffused with the glow of wine karta huun jama phir

sair-e-charaghhan kiye hue lament longs that from my breath may sparks of fire flow lts been a while since on a journey, of lights i did go phir pursish-e-jarahat-e-dil ko chala hai ishq saman-e-sad-hazar namak-dan kiye hue love proceeds to console my wounded heart again while carrying with it quantities of salt for to rub in phir bhar raha huun khama-e-mizhgan ba-khun-e-dil saz-e-chaman tarazi-e-daman kiye hue the quill of my eyelashes i, dip in my blood anew for to decorate my vest in the flower's form and hue baham-digar hue hain dil o diida phir raqib nazzara o khayal ka saman kiye hue my heart and my eyes are now adversaries again one seeks to think of her, the other for her sight to gain dil phir tavaf-e-ku-e-malamat ko jaae hai pindar ka sanam-kada viran kiye hue my heart repeatedly repairs to those avenues where i will lose all self respect, be subject to abuse phir shauq kar raha hai kharidar ki talab arz-e-mata-e-aql-o-dil-o-jan kiye hue love once again is eager for a customer to find offering up all the wealth of heart, life and mind daude hai phir har ek gul-o-lala par khayal sad-gulsitan nigah ka saman kiye hue my thoughts do flit at every beauty,

shab-e-visal hai gul kar do in charaghon ko khushi ki bazm mein kya kaam jalne walon ka the speaker asks for the lamps to be put out because the night of union needs no artificial light—intimacy prefers darkness. “burning ones” are the lovers who suffer in longing; their inner fire clashes with the mood of celebration. the couplet carries a sharp irony: joy makes the grief-stricken feel unnecessary and pushed aside.

ek charagh aur ek kitab aur ek ummid asasa us ke ba'd to jo kuchh hai wo sab afsana hai

shahr ke andhere ko ek charagh kafi hai sau charagh jalte hain ek charagh jalne se

kaun taqon pe raha kaun sar-e-rahguzar shahr ke sare charaghon ko hawa jaanti hai

abhi to jag rahe hain charagh rahon ke abhi hai dur sahar thodi dur sath chalo

agarche zor hawaon ne dal rakkha hai magar charagh ne lau ko sambhaal rakkha hai

aabla-pa koi is dasht mein aaya hoga warna aandhi mein diya kis ne jalaya hoga

hum ab udas nahin sar-ba-sar udasi hain hamein charagh nahin raushni kaha jae

dilon ko tere tabassum ki yaad yun aai ki jagmaga uthen jis tarah mandiron mein charagh the couplet compares the remembrance of the beloved’s smile to a sacred illumination. that memory doesn’t merely comfort—it brightens the inner world the way temple lamps spread a pure, steady glow. the metaphor turns love into a kind of devotion, where the heart becomes a temple and the smile its light.

charagh us ne bujha bhi diya jala bhi diya ye meri qabr pe manzar naya dikha bhi diya

ab charaghon mein zindagi kam hai dil jalao ki raushni kam hai

apni taswir ke ek rukh ko nihan rakhta hai ye charagh apna dhuan jaane kahan rakhta hai

charagh bujhte chale ja rahe hain silsila-war main khud ko dekh raha hun fasana hote hue

khak se sainkadon uge khurshid hai andhera magar charag-tale

kahin koi charagh jalta hai kuchh na kuchh raushni rahegi abhi
