Hum Wo Be-Dard Hain
Khwaab Ganwa Kar Bhi Jinhen Neend Aa Jaati Hai
Soch Soch Kar Bhi JinKe ZehnoN Ko Kuch Nahin Hota
Toot Phoot Kar Bhi Jin Ke Dil Dharakna Yad Rakhtey Hain
Toot Kar Roney Ki Koshish Mein Jo
Baat-Be-Baat Muskaratey Hain
Shaam Se Pehley Mar Janey Ki Khwahish Mein Jo
Jetey Hain 
Aur.....
Jeete,  
Chale Jaatey Hain...
Hum vo bedard hain.......

Alfaaz ke jhoothe bandhan

Alfaaz ke jhoote bandhan mein
Aghraaz ke gehre pardon mein
Har shaqs mohabbat karta hai
Halaan ke muhabbat kuch bhi nahi
Sab jhoote rishte naate hain

Sab dil rakhne ke baatein hain
Sab asli roop chupaate hain
Aehsaas se khali log yahaan
Lafzon ke teer chalaate hain
Ik baar nazar mein aa kar wo
Phir saari umr rulaate hain
Ye ishq-o-muhabbat mehar-o-wafa
Sab rasmi rasmi baatain hain
Her shaqs khudi ke masti mein
Bas apni khaatir jeeta hai..............

Ye Aankh Rone Ki Shiddat Se Laal Thori Hai
Malal To Hai Magar Itna Malal Thori Hai

Bas Apnay Wastay Hi Fikarmand Hain Sab Log
Yahan Kisi Ko Kisi Ka Khayal Thori Hai

Paro’on Ko Kaat Diya Hai Udaan Se Pehle
Ye Khauf-E-Hijr* Hai Shauq-E-Wisaal* Thori Hai

Mazaa To Tab Hai Ke Tum Jaan-Buujh Ke Haaro
Hamesha Jeet Hi Jana Kamaal Thori Hai

Lagana Parti Hai Dubki Ubharnay Se Pehle
Ghuroob* Hone Ka Matlab Zaval* Thori Hai…

Dil per aese bhi ...

Dil per aese bhi azaabon ko utarte dekha

Humne chup chaap Usey khud se bichadte dekha
Tujhko socha to har soch mein khushbo utri
Tujhko likkha to har lafz mehakte dekha
Yaad aa jaye to qaabu nahi rehta dil per
Warna duniya ne bhi humko tarapte dekha
Teri soorat ko faqat aankh hi na tarsi hai
RastoN ko bhi teri yaad mein  rote dekha
Hum mohabbat ke liye aaj bhi dewaane hain
Ye alag baat hai ke tumne nahi murr ke dekha....

Abhi sooraj nahi dooba zara si sham hone do

Abhi sooraj nahi dooba zara si sham hone do

Main khud hi laut jaoonga mujhe nakaam hone do
Mujhey badnam karne ke bahanay dhoondte ho kyun..
Main khud ho jaoonga badnam, zara sa naam hone do
Abhi karna nahi bilkul ,aetraaf-e-shikast mujhko
Mai sab tasleem kar loonga, ye charcha aam hone do
Meri hasti nahi anmol, phir bhi bik nahi sakta 
Wafayen beich lena per ,zara neelam hone do
Naye aaghaz mein hi hosla, kyun haar baithey ho...??
Jeet jaogay tum sab kuch, zara anjaam hone do...

Tum Mohabbat bhi Mausam ki tarah

Tum Mohabbat Bhi Mausam Ki Tarha Nibhatey Ho
Kabhi Barastey Ho Kabhi Ek Boond Ko Tar'saatey Ho
Pal Mein Kehte Ho Zamaney Me Faqat Tere Hain
Pal Mein Izhaar-e-Muhabbat Se Mukar Jaate Ho
Bhari Mehfil Me Dushmanon Ki Tarah Miltey Ho
Aur Duaaon Me Mera Naam Liye Jate Ho
Dayaar-E-Ghair Me Mujh Ko Talash Karte Ho
Miloon To Paas Se Chup Chaap Ghuzer Jatey Ho....

Yaad rakhta hoon....

Main Logon Se Mulaaqaton Ke
Lamhe Yaad Rakhta Hoon


Main Baataien Bhuul Bhi jaaoun
To Lehze Yaad Rakhta Hoon


Sar-e-Mehfil Nigahein Mujh Pe
Jin Logon Ki Parti Hain


Nigahon ke Hawale Se
Wo Chehre Yaad Rakhta Hoon


Zara Sa Hutt ke Chalta Hoon
Zamane Ki Riwa’yat Se


Ke Jin Pe Bojh Main Daaloon
Wo Kaandhy Yaad Rakhta Hoon

Samajh Jaataa hoon ,lekin dier se,.....

Samajh Jaataa hoon ,lekin dier se, main daav-piech sabke,
Vo baazi jeet jaate hain mere chaalaak hone tak....

भावार्थ (Meaning)

यह शेर इंसान के अनुभव और देर से आने वाली समझ के बीच के दुखद विरोधाभास को दर्शाता है।

• पहला मिसरा (First Line): "मैं लोगों के दाँव-पेच (tricks, maneuvers, ploys) को समझ जाता हूँ, लेकिन हमेशा देर से।" यह बताता है कि वक्ता (speaker) सीधा और भरोसेमंद है, और दूसरों की चालाकी को तुरंत पकड़ नहीं पाता।

• दूसरा मिसरा (Second Line): "मेरे चालाक (smart, cunning) होने तक, वो (धोखेबाज लोग) बाज़ी (game/bet) जीत चुके होते हैं।" इसका मतलब है कि जब तक वक्ता दुनियादारी सीखकर सचेत होता है और धोखा देने वालों के इरादों को भांपने लायक बनता है, तब तक उसे नुक़सान हो चुका होता है या वह खेल हार चुका होता है।

Ghaate ka Sauda

          Yeh kahani Manto ke us daur ke lekhan ka ek behtareen namoona hai jo Partition (Taqseem-e-Hind) se pehle aur uske dauran insaniyat ke girte hue mayaar aur dharm ke naam par hone wali siyah-kaariyon ko be-baaki se pesh karta hai.

GHATE KA SAUDA

 Do doston nein milkar dus bees ladkiyon mein se ek ladki chuni aur bayaalis  rupaye (42 rupees baat aazaadi se pehle ki hai )  dekar usey khareed liya. Raat guzaarkar ek dost nein us ladki se poocha,"Tumhaara naam kya hai ?"

Ladki nein apna naam bataaya to vo  dost bhinna gaya," Humse to kahaa kahaa gaya tha ki tum doosre mazhab ki ho ..... Ladki nein jawaab diya ,"usne jhooth bola tha".

                Ye sunkar vo dauda dauda apne dost ke paas gaya aur kehne lagaa," Us haaramzaade nein hamaare saath dhookha kiya hai.. Hamaare mazhab ki ladki humein thamaa di...Chalo vaapis kar aayein ....

Kahani Par Ek Nazar: "Ghate Ka Sauda"

Yeh kahani asal mein do doston ke darmiyan hue ek 'saude' (deal) ke zariye us waqt ke samajh mein faili hui dharmik kattarta (religious fanaticism) aur insani rishton ki sasti qeemat ko ujagar karti hai.

Kahani Ke Markazi Sawal

Jo sawal yeh kahani hamare liye chhod jaati hai, woh yeh hain:

1. Mazhab Ki Ahmiyat vs. Insaniyat Ki Ahmiyat:

   • Kyun ek insaan ka "mazhab" uski "qeemat" aur uske saath hone wale sulook ko tai karta hai?

   • Ladki ki paak-dāmani ya uski shakhsiyat se zyada, uske mazhab ke farq hone par doston ko gussa kyun aaya?

2. Aurat Ek 'Sauda' Kyun?

   • Ek aurat ko sirf bayaalis (42) rupaye mein kharidna aur bechna us daur mein auraton ki samaaji haisiyat (social status) par kya sawal khada karta hai?

3. Dharma ke Naam Par Dhokha:

   • Doosre mazhab ki ladki samajh kar kharidna aur phir apne mazhab ki nikalne par usko "ghaate ka sauda" samajh kar wapas karne ki jidd, yeh dikhati hai ki dharmik bhed-bhav insaan ki soch ko kis hadd tak zehreela bana chuka tha.

---

Manto is kahani ke zariye yeh dikhana chahte the ki Aazaadi se pehle aur Partition ke waqt, logon ki nazron mein "Gair Mazhabi" (doosre mazhab ka) insaan hi unke na-jaiz aur gair-insani harkaton ka nishana tha. Jab woh ladki unke apne mazhab ki nikli, toh unhe laga ki yeh "sauda" unke asoolon aur imaan ke khilaaf hai, isliye yeh unke liye "ghaate ka sauda" ban gaya.
