ایتھوپیا اور تھر میں پائی جانے والی بھوک و ننگ کی صورتِ حال کے خاتمہ کے لیے کی جانے والی کوششوں میں بہتری کے لیے فکر انگیز دعائیہ نظم ٭
جس کے ابتدائی اشعار 1984ء میں مری کی سیر کے دوران لکھے گئے اور جب دنیا کی بے ثباتی اور غربت و افلاس کی طرف نگاہ اٹھی تو نامکمل نظم کے ساتھ ایک افسردگی کے عالم میں جہلم آنے کے لیے  واپسی کا سفر شروع کر دیا۔ یہ نظم کافی عرصہ کے مشاہدات، تجربات اور معاملات کا نچوڑ ہے جسے مکمل ہونے میں 35 برس لگے۔

اِک روز کہیں دُور کی! وادی میں گیا تھا
واں سیر کی خاطر میں بہت دیر رہا تھا

جب حُسن کی رعنائی میں! فطرت کا سماں دیکھ۔
محسوس کی اِک تازگی! قُدرت کو عیاں دیکھ

لگنے لگا ہر دم مجھے! منظر وہ پیارا
تھا میں جو اکیلا تو مرا! دل یہ پکارا

کتنا حسیں سماں ھے! پیارا ہے خوب تر
مسرور ہو رہا ہوں! جسے دیکھ دیکھ کر

مخمل کی طرح نرم نرم! گُل ہے، باس ہے            
اُمنگ ہے، ترنگ ہے! دِل میں اِک آس ہے


تاروں کودِل کےچھیڑکے!تازہ ہوا چلی
پتے سے، گُل سے، ٹہنی سے! سُر، سازسےبھری

ایسی دل و نگاہ کی! پاکیزگی مِلی
غم، درد، آہ، واہ جیسی! روشنی مِلی

پھر یوں ہوا! کہ یہ نگاہ! اُدھر بھی جا پڑی
رونا جہاں کا دائمی! بہبود عارضی

کیوپِڈ کرے گا کیا؟ جہاں! شیطاں کی چال ہے
بُھوک اور ننگ ہے، جہاں! جینا محال ہے

ہونٹوں پہ خشک پپڑیاں! آنکھوں میں یاس ہے
اور پیاس سے نِڈھال ماں! بچے کے پاس ہے

معصومیت! کہ جس کی! فرشتہ مثال ہو
مظلومیت! یزید کی جیسے! یہ چال ہو

لاچار ماں ہے بچے کی! یہ سوچ سوچ کر
پانی کا کیوں ہے؟ کاروبار! بُوند بُوند پر

جو مر گئے ہیں، اُن کو! دبانے کا مسئلہ
بے کس کی بیکسی کو! چھپانے کا مسئلہ

جو چیختا ہے کرب سے! بُھوک اور پیاس سے
کرتا ہے اک سوال وہ! اَپر کلاس سے

اپنوں کو دیکھ دیکھ کے! غیروں کو دیکھنا
جِن کے لیے کٹِھن ہے! مصائب کا جھیلنا

رونے کو، خوں کو، بُھوک کو! قِسمت کو دیکھنا
راہ تکتی آنکھ، موہنی سی! صورت کو دیکھنا

ایتھوپیا کو دیکھ  کے! تھر کو بھی دیکھنا
کیا ہر جگہ ہے؟ ایک سا بچہ! یہ سوچنا

Translation:
A Question?

Once I went to a valley for a walk
I wandered there for a long time

When I saw the natural beauty
And felt recreation and freshness

The scene was so charming and cute
As I was alone! The heart shout out with joy,

“What a pleasant scene it is!
I am feeling immense pleasure to see that

The flowers with fragrance are soft like velvet.
I am young and hopeful, so sing in the heart


A breeze touched the cords of my heart and soul
Leaves, flowers, branches with musical sound

And filled my heart and eyes with purity
I found grief, pain, ah, wah! Like Light.

Then sudden! The sight was changed, and I saw
The place where cries are unending and welfare temporarily

Cupid is a child against devil’s tricks
hunger and humiliation, where! It is impossible to live with

Dry scabs on the lips! There is despair in the eyes
and a thirsty, weak mother! The child has

Innocence! That's it! Angel is an example of
oppression! Like Yazid's doings! This trick is

Helpless mother of the child! Who is thinking about
why this water business is! Drop by drop

Those who have died! The problem of burying them
The problem of hiding the helplessness of the helpless

He! Who screams with pangs, hunger, and thirst,
he asks the question! To the upper class

Look at the deserving! If you have time?
Who are unable to face hardships

Crying, blood, hunger! Look at destiny
The eye! Looking at the way, look at the cute face!

Look at the Thar! No doubt, after Ethiopia!
Is it everywhere to see, a little child the same? Think about this!
1: ایتھوپیا براعظم افریقہ میں پایا جانے والا ایک پسماندہ ملک ہے۔
2: تھر براعظم ایشیاء میں پایا جانے والا پاکستانی پسماندہ علاقہ ہے۔
1: Ethiopia is a backward country found in the continent of Africa.
2: Thar is a backward Pakistani region found in Asia.
1: ایتھوپیا براعظم افریقہ میں پایا جانے والا ایک پسماندہ ملک ہے۔
2: تھر براعظم ایشیاء میں پایا جانے والا پاکستانی پسماندہ علاقہ ہے۔

ZIKET
I admit your beauty Lord
Alive and matchless
“Ziket” as a new genre has full capability and capacity to express every type of poetic feelings concisely in a few words speaking volumes.
ZINET
It is the shortest poetic form in English literature. It is a popular form of unrhymed American and Pakistani poetry, which have got popularity and evolved in the 20th century.  It is being rapidly adapted by modern and busy civilizations as a powerful literary tool to express emotions. "Zinet" consists of a single line having up-to seven syllables, giving logical effects and known as a complete meaningful poem.
“Haiku” a Japanese short poem is of three lines while couplet written in “Urdu Ghazal” having full independent theme on its own, can also be considered as a shorter poem than Haiku in this regard.

But the nomenclature of short poems namely “Ziket” and ‘Zinet’ is the breakthrough in this regard.

The best writers of these genres are John Stevens, Richard Riddle, Born and Ernie Hudson

You are so matchless
Beauties and words are useless
All over the world

You are most precious
No fame and fun are worthwhile
All over the world

You want You select
No one dare access You
All over the world

Your delivered call
No one dare to modify
All over the world

You are mighty Lord
We are in need of mercy
All over the world

We bow in prayer
Bless us peace everlasting
All over the world

Sun sets after all
But Your love has no downfall
All over the world

Bless enlightened path
We are all in search of You
All over the world

We obey at once
No one dare disobey You
All over the world

Bless us Your will
We bow in Your love O’ Lord
All over the world

You are almighty my Lord
All over the world

You are Merciful
You are Bountiful my Lord
All over the world

We have countless gain
You are first and final Lord
All over the world

"When you live with the awareness
that you carry the essence of God
you view things a whole new way...
from a love perspective."


"Right here and right now I will
vibrate pure love of self,
and toward others to feel harmony.

The missionary wiped the sweat
That formed small beads on his sunburnt brow.
Never had he thought that learning
A language would be so hard till now.

But learning a language and studying a culture
So very different from his own,
Deep in the Amazonian jungle--
A damp and brutal climate zone--

Were challenges that he was eager
Because of his Christian faith to accept,
Even though he had to watch out
For poisonous creatures wherever he stepped.

His goal: to learn the language there
In order to translate the Holy Bible
So he could teach the truth as he knew it
To various peoples, godless and tribal.

His dual role as a servant of God
And graduate student studying linguistics
Opened his mind and heart to embrace
The people's diverse characteristics.

Constant threats were jaguars, insects,
And anacondas in the river,
Along with shifty river pilots
Transporting goods to trade or deliver.

After years of being there
And putting up with a bare subsistence,
He pondered why his ideas among
The people were met with such resistance.

Occurring to him suddenly
As an epiphany, he had to face
The fact that maybe he had been
Peddling his goods in the wrong place.

Why did he need to fix the people?
They were fine just as they were.
If he tried to change their beautiful
Way of life, what would occur?

They had faith in themselves and lived
Without worry, fear, or despair.
He was imposing his own concept
Of truth on them. How unfair!

Questioning his own ideas,
He clarified his own confusion
And saw that life without absolutes
Was one way to see through delusion.

How ironic! He'd gone to Brazil
With good intentions, though smug and prim,
To try to convert the people there;
They, however, converted him.
