Poetry Collection

Kitab

It appears rather unlikely and also un-poetic that poets should make books the subject of their poetry. Books have been compared with the face of the beloved but also treated as a metaphor of light that illuminates our lives. More than anything physical, it has also appeared as a symbol. Enter into this amazing world of books and discovers what it intends to offer.

dhuup men niklo ghataon men naha kar dekho zindagi kya hai kitabon ko hata kar dekho

tujhe kitab se mumkin nahin faraghh ki tu kitab-khvan hai magar sahib-e-kitab nahin

allama iqbal contrasts mere study with inner ownership of knowledge. the “book” stands for learning and scripture-like guidance; being a “book-reader” is only intellectual engagement. not being “sahib-e-kitab” implies the truth has not become one’s lived understanding and character. the couplet gently reproaches empty scholarship and calls for embodied insight.

rahta tha samne tira chehra khula hua padhta tha main kitab yahi har class men

~ Shakeb Jalali

chhupi hai an-ginat chingariyan lafzon ke daman men zara padhna ghhazal ki ye kitab ahista ahista

khuli kitab thi phulon-bhari zamin meri kitab meri thi rang-e-kitab us ka tha

~ Wazir Agha

ulat rahi thiin havaen varaq varaq us ka likhi gai thi jo mitti pe vo kitab tha vo

chehra khuli kitab hai unvan jo bhi do jis rukh se bhi padhoge mujhe jaan jaoge

dhuup men niklo ghataon men naha kar dekho zindagi kya hai kitabon ko hata kar dekho

chehra khuli kitab hai unvan jo bhi do jis rukh se bhi padhoge mujhe jaan jaoge

kidhar se barq chamakti hai dekhen ai vaaiz main apna jaam uthata huun tu kitab utha

where does lightening strike, priest, let us look i will raise my glass you raise your holy book

rahta tha samne tira chehra khula hua padhta tha main kitab yahi har class men

kitab khol ke dekhun to aankh roti hai varaq varaq tira chehra dikhai deta hai

~ Ahmad Aqeel Rubi

ulat rahi thiin havaen varaq varaq us ka likhi gai thi jo mitti pe vo kitab tha vo

jise padhte to yaad aata tha tera phuul sa chehra hamari sab kitabon men ik aisa baab rahta tha
