Yashaayaah 23
soor aur saida kee tabaahee
1soor kay baaray men allaah ka farmaan :
ay tarsees kay umda jahaazo [a] ‘tarsees ka jahaaz’ na sirf mulk-ay-tarsees kay jahaaz kay liyay balki har umda qism kay tijaartee jahaaz kay liyay istemaal hota tha. dekhiay aayat 14. , vaavaila karo! kyoonki soor tabaah ho gaya hai, vahaan tiknay kee jagah tak naheen rahee. jazeera-ay-qubrus say vaapas aatay vaqt unhen ittila dee gaee. 2ai saahilee ilaaqay men basnay vaalo, aah-o-zaaree karo! ai saida kay taajiro, maatam karo! teray qaasid samundar ko paar kartay thay, 3vah gaheray paanee par safar kartay huay misr [b] ibraanee men saihoor mustaamal hai jo darya-ay-neel kee ek shaakh hai. ka ghalla tujh tak pahunchaatay thay, kyoonki too hee darya-ay-neel kee fasal say nafa kamaata tha. yoon too tamaam qaumon ka tijaartee markaz bana.
4lekin ab sharmasaar ho, ai saida, kyoonki samundar ka qil’aaband shaher soor kaheta hai, “haay, sab kuchh tabaah ho gaya hai. ab aisa lagta hai ki main nay na kabhee dard-ay-zah men mubtala ho kar bachchay janm diay, na kabhee betay-betiyaan paalay.”
5jab yah khabar misr tak pahunchegee to vahaan kay baashinday tadap uthengay.
6chunaanchay samundar ko paar karkay tarsees tak pahuncho! ai saahilee ilaaqay kay baashindo, girya-o-zaaree karo! 7kya yah vaaqaee tumhaara vah shaher hai jis kee rangraliyaan mashhoor theen, vah qadeem shaher jis kay paaon usay doordaraaz ilaaqon tak lay gaay taaki vahaan naee aabaadiyaan qaaim karay? 8kis nay soor kay khilaaf yah mansooba baandha? yah shaher to pahelay baadshaahon ko takht par bithaaya karta tha, aur us kay saudaagar raees thay, us kay taajir duniya kay shurfa men ginay jaatay thay. 9rabb-ul-afwaaj nay yah mansooba baandha taaki tamaam shaan-o-shaukat ka ghamand past aur duniya kay tamaam uhdedaar zer ho jaaen.
10ai tarsees betee, ab say apnee zameen kee kheteebaadee kar, un kisaanon kee tarah kaashtkaaree kar jo darya-ay-neel kay kinaaray apnee faslen lagaatay hain, kyoonki teree bandargaah jaatee rahee hai. 11rabb nay apnay haath ko samundar kay oopar utha kar mamaalik ko hila diya. us nay hukm diya hai ki kan’aan [c] kan’aan say muraad lubnaan yaanee qadeem zamaanay ka Phoenichia hai. kay qilaay barbaad ho jaaen. 12us nay farmaaya, “ai saida betee, ab say teree rangraliyaan band rahengee. ai kunvaaree jis kee ismatdaree huee hai, uth aur samundar ko paar karkay qubrus men panaah lay. lekin vahaan bhee too aaraam naheen kar paaegee.”
13mulk-ay-baabal par nazar daalo. yah qaum to nest-o-naabood ho gaee, us ka mulk janglee jaanvaron ka ghar ban gaya hai. asooriyon nay burj bana kar usay gher liya aur us kay qilaon ko dha diya. malbay ka dher hee rah gaya hai.
14ai tarsees kay umda jahaazo, haay haay karo, kyoonki tumhaara qil’a tabaah ho gaya hai!
15tab soor insaan kee yaad say utar jaaega. lekin 70 saal yaanee ek baadshaah kee muddat-ul-umr kay baad soor us tarah bahaal ho jaaega jis tarah geet men kasbee kay baaray men gaaya jaata hai,
16“ai faraamosh kasbee, chal! apna sarod pakad kar galiyon men phir! sarod ko khoob baja, kaee ek geet ga taaki log tujhay yaad karen.”
17kyoonki 70 saal kay baad rabb soor ko bahaal karega. kasbee dubaara paisay kamaaegee, duniya kay tamaam mamaalik us kay gaahak banengay. 18lekin jo paisay vah kamaaegee vah rabb kay liyay makhsoos hongay. vah zakheera karnay kay liyay jama naheen hongay balki rabb kay huzoor thahernay vaalon ko diay jaaengay taaki jee bhar kar kha saken aur shaandaar kapday pahen saken.
