Sher on Khudkushi
The idea of bringing
one’s own life to an end is a terrible one. When does a human being get so provoked to commit this act and under what circumstances? Some poets have addressed these issues in creative and personal terms. Reading some of the verses on suicide is like passing through the mixed states of despair and disappointment, as well as doubt and fear.
koī ḳhud-kushī kī taraf chal diyā
udāsī kī mehnat Thikāne lagī
koi KHud-kushi ki taraf chal diya
udasi ki mehnat Thikane lagi

maut ke darinde meñ ik kashish to hai 'sarvat'
log kuchh bhī kahte hoñ ḳhud-kushī ke baare meñ
maut ke darinde mein ek kashish to hai 'sarwat'
log kuchh bhi kahte hon KHud-kushi ke bare mein
aaj to jaise din ke saath dil bhī ġhurūb ho gayā
shaam kī chaa.e bhī ga.ī maut ke Dar ke saath saath
aaj to jaise din ke sath dil bhi ghurub ho gaya
sham ki chae bhi gai maut ke Dar ke sath sath
ye zindagī jo pukāre to shak sā hotā hai
kahīñ abhī to mujhe ḳhud-kushī nahīñ karnī
ye zindagi jo pukare to shak sa hota hai
kahin abhi to mujhe KHud-kushi nahin karni

saDak pe baiTh gae dekhte hue duniya
aur aise tark hui ek KHud-kushi hum se
ḳhud-kushī karne meñ bhī nākām rah jaate haiñ ham
