Hunar

na thi haal ki jab hamein apne khabar rahe dekhte auron ke aib o hunar padi apni buraiyon par jo nazar to nigah mein koi bura na raha while unknowing of myself, in others faults did often see when my own shortcomings saw, found no one else as bad as me the couplet turns from judging others to judging oneself. the poet says that ignorance of one’s own inner state leads to fault-finding in others, but self-scrutiny brings humility. seeing one’s own defects softens the gaze and dissolves harsh judgments. the emotional core is moral awakening and compassion born from introspection.

ek hunar hai jo kar gaya hun main

ik hunar hai jo kar gaya huun main sab ke dil se utar gaya huun main kaise apni hansi ko zabt karun sun raha huun ki ghar gaya huun main kya bataun ki mar nahin paata jite-ji jab se mar gaya huun main ab hai bas apna samna dar-pesh har kisi se guzar gaya huun main vahi naz-o-ada vahi ghhamze sar-ba-sar aap par gaya huun main ajab ilzam huun zamane ka ki yahan sab ke sar gaya huun main kabhi khud tak pahunch nahin paaya jab ki vaan umr bhar gaya huun main tum se janan mila huun jis din se be-tarah khud se dar gaya huun main ku-e-janan men sog barpa hai ki achanak sudhar gaya huun main ek hunar hai jo kar gaya hun main sab ke dil se utar gaya hun main kaise apni hansi ko zabt karun sun raha hun ki ghar gaya hun main kya bataun ki mar nahin pata jite-ji jab se mar gaya hun main ab hai bas apna samna dar-pesh har kisi se guzar gaya hun main wahi naz-o-ada wahi ghamze sar-ba-sar aap par gaya hun main ajab ilzam hun zamane ka ki yahan sab ke sar gaya hun main kabhi khud tak pahunch nahin paya jab ki wan umr bhar gaya hun main tum se jaanan mila hun jis din se be-tarah khud se dar gaya hun main ku-e-jaanan mein sog barpa hai ki achanak sudhar gaya hun main

shart saliqa hai har ek amr mein aib bhi karne ko hunar chahiye meer taqi meer says that refinement is essential in all actions, not just in polite deeds. even criticism must be done with tact, timing, and measured words; otherwise it becomes mere rudeness. the couplet highlights that true “fault-finding” is also a craft—meant to correct, not to wound.

wo saf-go hai magar baat ka hunar sikhe badan hasin hai to kya be-libas aaega

hamare aib mein jis se madad mile hum ko hamein hai aaj kal aise kisi hunar ki talash

jis ki khatir main bhula baitha tha apne aap ko ab usi ke bhul jaane ka hunar bhi dekhna

mujh mein the jitne aib wo mere qalam ne likh diye mujh mein tha jitna husn wo mere hunar mein gum hua

tesha-ba-kaf ko aaina-gar kah diya gaya jo aib tha use bhi hunar kah diya gaya

'qaem' main ikhtiyar kiya shairi ka aib pahuncha na koi shakhs jab apne hunar talak

tujhe bhula ke bhi sadiyan bhula nahin saktin magar ye shart hai khud mein kamal paida kar

hum parindon se hunar chhinega kaun jal gaya ek ghar to sau ghar ban gae

khuban-e-jahan hon jis se taskhir aisa koi hum ne hunar na dekha
