سلام

سلام
جس نے ہجر کی خندق سے!
وصال کی نقیب ناقہ کھینچ کر لاتے ہوئے!
آپ چاندنی جیسی سفارت سے!
سوالی اسرار اور گرد آلود بھید کے منہ دھوتے ہوئے!
بے یقین دست کی رگوں میں!
سنہری تبسم۔۔اثبات وفا کی زندگی کو بھر دیا
اس ’’الحسین منی‘‘ کی حقیقت پہ لاکھوں سلام
جس نے مزاج سبز بہار کی کتاب سے
چادر تطہیر سے گرد صاف کی
جس نے درِ علم سے علم کے شہرتک!
طاق ساعتوں کیساتھ پاسبانی کرتے ہوئے!
قاتلین، منافقین اور قابضین کے چہرے دکھا دیے
جو آج بھی لا مکاں۔۔۔عصرے رواں میں!
یزیدیت کی دھجیاں اْڑا رہا ہے

اس قتیل نینوا پہ لاکھوں سلام
جس نے بنجر وادیوں کی طرف!
سبز خوشبو کا رخ موڑ دیا
جس نے فاصلوں۔۔۔ساعتوں کو انگلیوں پر نچاتے ہوئے!
ویران دشت کا رشتہ!
الوہی سبزہ گاہ سے جوڑ دیا
جس نے لسان فلک کے لہجے میں!
’’و اَنا مِن الحسین‘‘ کی تشریح نوک نیزہ پہ کی
اس حسین ؑابن حیدر پہ لاکھوں سلام
بنتِ حسینؑ و علیؑ پہ لاکھوں سلام
