Qaid-e-gham-e-hayaat se humko chhudaa liyaa - Shamim Karhani


Qaid-e-gham-e-hayaat se humko chhudaa liyaa,
Achchha kiya ke aap ne apna banaa liyaa !

Hone diya na hum ne andheraa shab-e-firaaq,
Bujhne laga chiraag to dil ko jalaa liyaa !

Duniyaa ke paas hai koi is tanz ka jawaab ,
Diwaana apne haal pe khud muskuraa liyaa !

Chup hoon tumhaara dard-e-muhabbat liye huye,
Sab poochte hai tum ne zamaane se kyaa liyaa !

Kyaa baat thi ke khalvat-e-zahid ko dekh kar,
Rind-e-gunaahgaar ne sar ko jhukaa diyaa !

Na qaabil-e-bayaan hai muhabbat ki lazzaten,
Kuchh dil hi jaanta hai jo dil ne mazaa liyaa !

Roz-e-azal padi thi hazaaron hi neymatein,
Hum ne kisi ka dard-e-mohabbat utaa liyaa !

Badhne lagi ji talki-e-gham-e-haa-e-zindagi,
Thoda sa baada-e-gham-e-janaan milaa liyaa !

Waqif nahin giraft-e-tasawwur se wo �Shamim�,
Jo ye samajh rahe hain ke daaman chhudaa liya !

~ �Shamim� Karhani

However, there is much more in common between these two titans of poetry who lived some 350 years and 2,000 miles apart. In his Sonnets, Shakespeare acknowledged that his writings were inspired by Rumi�s poetry. He referred to Rumi as one of �Alien pens� whom he was asked to study. He described Rumi as �He of tall building, and of goodly pride�. Shakespeare admitted that Rumi�s verses were so powerful that they were stopping his thoughts before he was able to formulate them. Although Shakespeare was strongly influenced by Rumi�s poetry, it should be emphasized that his writings were not merely some adaptations of Rumi�s illustrations from an Eastern environment into the Western culture. Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
