PRECIOUS MOMENT
Dr Zik Jul 2017
A single moment
Spent in Your remembrance
Is more precious than
Those spent in whole life

As the remembrance can not be donated

WHERE ARE YOU?
Dr Zik May 2015
what? why? when? where?
whose? whom?  who?

How dare you?
How dare you?

autumn prevails every where..
everybody have own share

yes... OK... why not...
would you like... thanks!

O' hay!...
O' hay!...

if you don't mind...
I am ready...

its my pleasure...
I am ready...

I love to... I love you...
so nice of you...

see you...

and spring prevails every where
without any care, everything fair

think for a while
friendly, hostile
where are you?
between the two!

THEY KNOW ALL...
Dr Zik May 2015
Twinkling stars are unable to conceal the real picture of Karbastan
As knowledge is light!
So they twinkle at night!
In the meanwhile!
The beauty of dawn prevails everywhere
To stop the blowing of unwanted air
To console the victims and suffered from unwanted occurring
under the cruel shelter of night
As I think with full of might
To stop the blowing of unwanted air
Stars twinkle at night
O' passerby researcher! would you like to know
O' passerby researcher! would you like to do something for "Karbastan"?
as they all know!
as they know all
Zik Poetry Karbastan means "Misery Land" situated anywhere in the world.

JOURNEY TOWARD YOU
Dr Zik Jul 2017
A travel between two milestones
How long it is!
O’ my Lord!
Dr ZIK's Poetry
Dr Zik Apr 2020
Smoke suffocating, screams letting deaf
babies’, moms’ and, old ones are helpless

Blood spreads everywhere, from the bodies.
Stop lynching, and give up hatefulness

look at world from Warsak Road, O man
Palestine, Kabul, Iraq, leave them

spirit is one, dialect is not same
His devotee doesn't accept defeat

think in hurry, when you find, morn, eve
your slaughterhouse, tactics are useless

they will not be able to withstand
and will welcome as the Berlin wall

16 دسمبر 2014 ء میں پشاور کے المناک واقعہ، اورمعصوم شہداء کی یاد میں

متھے اَکھاں، بے حِس مُورَت، پتھر دل وِچکار۔۔
نفرت بھانبھڑ ورگی بھڑکے، لالچ دے بازار۔۔۔
اَگاں بھڑکن، دھویں اُٹھن، مچے چیخ چکار۔۔
بچے بِلکن، ماواں تڑپن، بُڈھے نے لاچار۔۔
ہر پاسے رَت ڈُلدی ویکھی، لاشاں دے وِچکار۔۔
من جا جنگلی، شہری دی گل، نفرت چھوڑ دے یار
وارسک روڈ توں پوری دنیا، ویکھ لے دنیا دار
فلسطین، عراق ہووئے یا ہووئے کابل کہار۔
لکھاں بولیاں بولدے تد وی اِکو جئے جذبات۔۔
اُس دے رستے چلن والے مندے نئیں اُو ہار۔۔

اَج کل چھیتی شام سویرے کر لے سوچ وچار
تیرے سارے حَربے، ناکے، مَقتل نے بیکار۔
ٹُٹ جاوَن گے جَھل نئیں سکدے عشق دی اِکو وار
منہ دی کھادی جیویں شوہدی برلن دی دیوار۔۔۔۔

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۔

STRIVING FOR SURVIVAL
Dr Zik Apr 2020
Social distance is the best,
Waving hands and, not shaking
You can touch your, lovely heart
Keep a distance, of 6 feet
Social distance is the best

To keep safe your, inner side
Dust mask is the, best to use
If you need to, touch a thing
Gloves are the best, as tactic
Social distance is the best

If you are with, the hands naked
Tissue paper, you should use
Give up all type, wandering
Social distance is the best

If you are in, dire need of
Cooking, washing, or cleaning
Be determined, with full care
Social distance is the best

Go to market, for a while
On fix hours as decided
Your getup should, as guided
Mask n glasses, hands in gloves
Social distance is the best

Come in hurry to, clean yourself
Twenty seconds, wash your hands
Destroy all things, which you can
Social distance is the best

If shows these lights, your character
It will be a great honour
I will salute to, you man
I will with you, as a fan
………..

سرگوشی WHISPER
Dr Zik Mar 2020
آئینے میں خود کو سنوارتے وقت جو انسان نما عمارت نظر آتی ہے۔ اس کے گریبان میں جھانکنا اور اگر ہو سکے تو دل کے دروازے پر دستک ضرور دینا۔ اس عمارت میں جیسا بھی انسان ہوا۔ مخاطب ضرور ہو گا۔ اُس کو جاننے کی کوشش کرنا اور اگر پہچان سکے تو اچھا ہے۔ ورنہ تنہائی میں اور ایمرجنسی حالات میں اُس پر نظر ضرور رکھنا۔ جب بھی غلطی کرنے لگے گا۔ تو اللہ سب سے پہلے آپ کو جاننے کی توفیق دے گا۔ لہٰذا آگے بڑھ کر فوراً بڑے ادب کے ساتھ اسے روک لینا اور بہت نرمی سے میرا پیغام اس کے کان میں سرگوشی کے سے انداز میں سنا دینا۔ کہ

عروج
عروج کا زوال نہیں ہوتا۔
عروج صرف اُس کو حاصل ہے۔  جسے زوال نہیں
زوال فقط مادی عروج کا خاصہ ہے۔
روحانی عروج کو زوال نہیں کیونکہ لازوال نے اس کی حدود وضع کر کے اسے دائمی بنا دیا ہے۔
لہٰذا ایسے عروج کی آحری حد بھی مادے سے پوشیدہ رکھی گئی ہے۔

Helpless, state

Miserable plight
Cool and bleak

Cruel blow
Strange air

Poisonous water
Stinging earth

Strange paths
Motionless movements

Voiceless calls
Senseless imagery

Weeping cries
lyrical emotions

All jerks, activities
Noises, announcements

Agreements, decisions
Every deal and done

Heartless, motionless
Helpless state

Miserable plight
Voiceless calls

All with my pangs
Only calling You

Make the all norm
With the warm sun

Illuminating rays
Eliminate darkness

It is a popular form of unrhymed American and Pakistani poetry, which have got popularity and evolved in the 21st century.  It is being rapidly adopted 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 a full independent theme on its own, can also be considered as a shorter poem than Haiku in this regard.
