Beautiful image--Irfan Siddiqui

this is one of the best couplets from a ghazal by Irfan Siddiqui I recently came across on one of the websites---

haal zaalim shikari ki soorat mujhe, waqt ki zeen se bandh kar le chala
mera maazi mere saath chalta raha, door tak ek majboor maan ki tarah

It doesn't get better than this---or does it?
haal means the present moment....like a cruel hunter....zalim shikari ki soorat, waqt ki zeen---is the saddle of time....maazi is the past.

isn't it beautiful!!!

poochte hain woh ke ghalib kauh hai...
