Kal raat chaandni thi gum,Maine sab se poocha, hua kya.Ungliyaan uthi mere yaar par,Shikaayat hua husn-e-dildaar ka. Karta kya chaand bhi tera muqaabla,Chupna hi usne bajaa samjha,Na samjha kisi ne teri maasumiyat magar,Tujhe hi sabne dushman be-wajah samjha. Chaand kya cheez hai, suraj bhi dhundla pad jaaye,Bas ek baar agar tum hans kar pardaa uthaa dey.Kaise samjha-oon is [...]

Soz-e-aaftaab (sun’s heat) mein jhulase tan ko,Jab choo jaaye baad-e-nasiim (breeze),To samjho tujhe meri yaad aayi. Zamaane ke thokar se magmuum (hurt/sad),Jab ho kisi hum-saaya (neighbor) ka ehsaas,To samjho tujhe meri yaad aayi. Bhari palkon se tapakte tapakte,Jab achaanak aansoon tham jaaye,To samjho tujhe meri yaad aayi. Do-pehar ki dhoop se ho pareshaan (troubled),Jab be-waqt (untimely) saawan (rain) laaye sukoon (comfort),To samjho tujhe meri yaad [...] There are times when you don’t find wordsTo express what you are going through.People cross your path, things happen,But you move on, oblivious of everything. Friends, I am going through such a phase! I might have met some of you without a greeting,Visited your dwelling and said nothing,Sat with you for hours without a conversation,Promised you something [...] Chehera sangmarmari, us par phisalta paani,Zulf ghaneri, us mein khila hua tabassum,Absaar nasheeley, maano chasm-e-mayaguun, (intoxicating eyes) Kasam us jism badamast ki,Woh sar se paanv talak thi, bas Qayaamat hi Qayaamat. Honth dabaey huey the daanton tale,Ungliyaan bhi dupatte mein the uljhey huey,Tehalti to jaise baad-e-sabaa mein ithlaati daali, Kasam un shokh adaaon ki,Woh sar se paanv talak thi, bas Sharaarat [...] Kyaa karoon aisa dard-e-nasha chaa gaya,Na chaahkar bhi zubaan pe ek aah aa gaya,Hoton pe hansi lekar chupaaya jis fasaane ko,Nazron se umadta sailaab woh bayaan kar gaya. Jaa, mat baat kar zaalim tu humse,Tujhe kya pata hai khaamoshi ka sila,Yeh humse poocho jisne is dil mey,Dafnaaye hain laakhon hasratein chup chaap. Kehti thi hum par jaan-o-tan karegi [...] Kaun hai meri humsafar Woh, jisne mereSapnon ko sajaaya.Ya woh, jisne meriZindagi ko sanwaara. Woh, jisne mujhePyaar karna sikhaaya.Ya woh, jisne mujheJeeney ka rasta dikhaaya. Woh, jo meri harSaans mein basi hai,Ya woh, jo lahoo bankarRagon mein samaayi hai. Woh, jo adaaon se Leti hai meri jaan,Ya woh, jo mujh par Chidakti hai apni jaan. Woh, jo hai saawan ki ghata,Baras [...] As the sun sets today toRise again for a new tomorrowI ask you,Have I thanked you before, my dear love?For all the support you have given me over time,For being by my side when it mattered to me most,For being the coolest of breezes on a sultry summer day,For bringing me warmth on the coldest [...] Red and OrangeOozing from the dark,Or is it bloodFrom my heart torn apart. A cuckoo blowsIts trumpet loud,Or is that celebrationOver my loves labor lost. Gentle breeze and rustling leavesShe just left, they let me know,Fantasy of her faithful companyI just realize, is no more true. The night just went byA dream lay in waste.Another lifetime just lived, whereI was [...] Hi friends…I have tried to bring out my frustration on how we humans have misused and taken wrong advantage of God and his loving gifts…********************************************Jo rehney ko zameen milaa,To sar-hadein banaa daala.Jo izzat-o-imaan milaa,To unka keemat laga daala. Jo jazba-e-pyaar ka ehasaas hua,To be-dard bankar mazaa liya.Jo doston ka saath milaa,To kabhi dagaa dekar silaa diya. Jo husn-o-jamaal sey [...] Woh jo gayeen humey chod kar,Yeh zindagi ab zindagi na rahi,Mushkil yeh gardish-e-shaam-o-sehar ab,Lagey berooh aur majrooh yeh zaat bhi. (read zaat as ’self’) Mehsoos har dum hoti hai kami unki,Dhoondhten hain unhe hum jagah jagah,Har gali mey, har khubsoorat vaadiy mey, Kabhi apne dil mey, kabhi apne shikastah khwaabon mey. Raah takten hain har waqt unki,Bhooley se na [...] |
