THE POET

Dosh Mee Gutam Ba Shama-e-Manzil-e-Weeran-e-Khowesh

Gaisuay Tu Azpar-e-Parwana Dar Dashana Ae

Dar Jahan Misl-e-Charagh-e-Lala-e-Sehrastam

Ne Naseeb-e-Mehfile, Ne Qismat-e-Kashana Ae

Madd Te Manind-e-Tou Man Hum Nafas Mee Soukhtam

Dar Tawaf-e-Shaula Am Baale Na Zad Parwana Ae

Mee Tapad Sad Jalwa-e-Dar Jaan-e-Amal Far Sood-e-Mann

Bar Namee Khaizd Azeen Mehfil Dil-e-Diwana Ae

Az Kuja Aen Aatish-e-Alam Faroz Andokhti

Kirmak-e-Be Maya Ra Souz-e-Kaleem Amoskhti

Shama

The Candle

Mujh Ko Mouj-e-Nafas Deti Hai Paigham-e-Ajal

Lab Issi Mouj-e-Nafas Se Hai Nawa Paira Tera

Mein To Jalti Hun Ke Hai Muzmir Meri Fitrat Mein Souz

Tu Firouzan Hai Ke Parwanon Ko Ho Soda Tera

Girya Saman Main Ke Mere Dil Mein Hai Toofan-e-Ashak

Shabnam Afshan Tu Ke Bazm-e-Gul Mein Ho Charcha Tera

Gul Ba Daman Hai Meri Shab Ke Lahoo Se Meri Subah

Hai Tere Amroz Se Na-Ashna Farda Tera

Yun To Roshan Hai Magar Souz-e-Darun Rakhta Nahin

Shaola Hai Misl-e-Charagh-e-Lala-e-Sehra Tera

Soch To Dil Mein, Laqab Saqi Ka Hai Zaiba Tujhe?

Anjuman Pyasi Hai Aur Pemana Be-Sehba Tera!

Aur Hai Tera Shua’ar, Aaeene-e-Millat Aur Hai

Zisht Ruyi Se Teri Aaeena Hai Ruswa Tera

Kaaba Pehlu Mein Hai Aur Soudai-e-Butkhana Hai

Kis Qadar Shourida Sar Hai Shauq-e-Be-Parwa Tera

Qais Paida Hon Teri Mehfil Mein, Ye Mumkin Nahin

Tang Hai Sehra Tera, Mehmil Hai Be-Laila Tera

Ae Dur-e-Tabinda, Ae Parwardah-e-Aghosh-e-Mouj!

Lazzat-e-Toofan Se Hai Na-Ashna Darya Tera

Ab Nawa Paira Hai Kya, Gulshan Huwa Barham Tera

Be-Mehel Tera Taranum, Naghma Be-Mousam Tera

Tha Jinhain Zauq-e-Tamasha, Woh To Rukhsat Ho Gye

Le Ke Ab Tu Wada-e-Didar-e-Aam Aya To Kya

Anjuman Se Woh Purane Shaola Aasham Uth Gye

Saqiya! Mehfil Mein Tu Aatish Bajaam Aaya To Kya

Aah, Jab Gulshan Ki Jamiat Preshan Ho Chukki

Phool Ko Baad-e-Bahari Ka Payam Aya To Kya

Akhir-e-Shab Deeb Ke Qabil Thi Bismil Ki Tarap

Subahdam Koi Agar Balaye Baam Aya To Kya

Bujh Gya Woh Shaola Jo Maqsood-e-Har Parwana Tha

Ab Koi Soudai-e-Souz-e-Tamam Aya To Kya

Phool Be-Parwa Hain, Tu Garam-e-Nawa Ho Ya Na Ho

Karwan Be-Hiss Hai, Awaz-e-Dra Ho Ya Na Ho

Shama-e-Mehfil Ho Ke Tu Jab Souz Se Khali Raha

Tere Parwane Bhi Iss Lazzat Se Baigane Rahe

Rishta-e-Ulfat Mein Jab In Ko Pero Sakta Tha Tu

Phir Preshan Kyun Teri Tasbeeh Ke Dane Rahe

Shauq-e-Beparwa Gya, Fikr-e-Falak Pema Gya

Teri Mehfil Main Na Diwane Na Farzane Rahe

Woh Jigar Souzi Nahin, Wo Shaola Ashaami Nahin

Faida Phir Kya Jo Gird-e-Shama Parwane Rahe

Khair, Tu Saqi Sahi Lekin Pilaye Ga Kise

Ab Na Woh Mai-Kash Rahe Baqi Na Maikhane Rahe

Ro Rahi Hai Aaj Ek Tooti Huwi Meena Usse

Kal Talak Gardish Mein Jis Saqi Ke Paimane Rahe

Aaj Hain Khamosh Woh Dasht-e-Junoon Parwar Jahan

Raqs Mein Laila Rahi, Laila Ke Diwane Rahe

Waye Nakami! Mataa-e-Karwan Jata Raha

Karwan Ke Dil Se Ehsas-e-Ziyan Jata Raha

Jin Ke Hangamon Se The Aabad Weerane Kabhi

Sheher Un Ke Mit Gaye Abadiyan Ban Ho Gaeen

Siwat-e-Touheed Qayam Jin Namazon Se Huwi

Woh Namazain Hund Mein Nazar-e-Barhman Ho Gaeen

Dehr Mein Aysh-e-Dawam Aaeen Ki Pabandi Se Ha

Mouj Ko Azadiyan Saman-e-Shewan Ho Gaeen

Khud Tajalli Ko Tamanna Jin Ke Nazaron Ki Thi

Woh Nigahain Na-Umeed-e-Noor-e-Ayman Ho Gayen

Urti Phirti Theen Hazaron Bulbulain Gulzar Mein

Dil Mein Kya Ayi Ke Paband-e-Nasheman Ho Gaeen

Wusaat-e-Gardoon Mein Thi Un Ki Tarap Nazara Souz

Bijliyan Aasuda-e-Damaan-e-Khirman Ho Gaeen

Didah-e-Khunbar Ho Minnat Kash-e-Gulzar Kyun

Ashak-e-Peham Se Nigahain Gul Ba Daman Ho Gaeen

Sham-e-Gham Lekin Khabar Detai Hai Subah-e-Eid Ki

Zulmat-e-Shab Mein Nazar Ayi Kiran Umeed Ki

Muzda Ae Paimana Bardaar-e-Khumistan-e-Hijaz!

Baad Muddat Ke Tere Rindon Ko Phir Aaya Hai Hosh

Naqad-e-Khuddari Bahaye Badah-e-Aghyar Thi

Phir Dukan Teri Hai Labraiz-e-Sadaye Nau Nosh

Tootne Ko Hai Talism-e-Mah Seemayaan-e-Hind

Phir Sulema Ko Nazar Deti Hai Pegham-e-Kharosh

Phir Ye Ghogha Hai Ke La Saqi Sharab-e-Khana Saaz

Dil Ke Hangame Mai-e-Maghrib Ne Kar Dale Khamosh

Naghma Paira Ho Ke Ye Hangam-e-Khamoshi Nahin

Hai Sehar Ka Asman Khursheed Se Meena Badosh

Dar Gham-e-Deegar Basouz-o-Deegran Rahum Basouz

Guftmat Roshan Hadisay Gar Touwani Daar Gosh!

Keh Gye Hain Shayari Juzweest Az Peghambari

Haan Suna De Mehfil-e-Millat Ko Pegham-e-Sarosh

Ankh Ko Baidar Kar De Wadaa-e-Deedar Se

Zinda Kar De Dil Ko Souz-e-Jouhar-e-Guftar Se

Rahzan-e-Himmat Huwa Zauq-e-Tan Asani Tera

Beher Tha Sehra Mein Tu, Gulshan Mein Misl-e-Joo Huwa

Apni Asliyat Pe Qayam Tha To Jamiat Bhi Thi

Chor Kar Gul Ko Preshan Karwaan-e-Boo Huwa

Zindagi Qatre Ki Sikhlati Hai Asrar-e-Hayat

Ye Kabhi Gohar, Kabhi Ansu Huwa

Phir Kahin Se Iss Ko Paida Kar, Bari Doulat Hai Ye

Zindagi Kaisi Jo Dil Begana-e-Pehlu Huwa

Aabru Baqi Teri Millat Ki Jamiat Se Thi

Jab Ye Jamiat Gyi, Dunya Mein Ruswa Tu Huwa

Fard Qayam Rabt-e-Millat Se Hai, Tanha Kuch Nahin

Mouj Hai Darya Mein Aur Bairun-e-Darya Kuch Nahin

Parda-e-Dil Mein Mohabbat Ko Abhi Mastoor Rakh

Yani Apni Mai Ko Ruswa Soorat-e-Meena Na Kar

Khema-Zan Ho Wadi-e-Seena Mein Manind-e-Kaleem

Shaola-e-Tehqeeq Ko Gharatgar-e-Kashana Kar

Shama Ko Bhi Ho Zara Maloom Anjam-e-Sitam

Sarf-e-Tameer-e-Sehar Khakstar-e-Parwana Kar

Tu Agar Khuddar Hai, Minnat Kash-e-Saqi Na Ho

Ayn Darya Mein Habab Aasa Nigoon Pema Na Kar

Kaifiat Baqi Purane Koh-o-Sehra Mein Nahin

Hai Junoon Tera Naya, Paida Naya Weerana Kar

Khak Mein Tujh Ko Muqaddar Ne Milya Hai Agar

To Asa Uftaad Se Paida Misal-e-Dana Kar

Haan, Issi Shakh-e-Kuhan Par Phir Bana Le Ashiyan

Ahl-e-Gulshan Ko Shaheed-e-Naghma-e-Mastana Kar

Iss Chaman Mein Pairwe Bulbul Ho Ya Talmeez-e-Gul

Ya Sarapa Nala Ban Ja Ya Nawa Paida Na Kar

Kyun Chaman Mein Be-Sada Misl-e-Ram-e-Shabnam Hai Tu

Lab Kusha Ho Ja, Surood-e-Barbat-e-Alam Hai Tu

Ashna Apni Haqiqat Se Ho Ae Dehqan Zara

Dana Tu, Khaiti Bhi Tu, Baran Bhi Tu, Hasil Bhi Tu

Aah, Kis Ki Justujoo Aawara Rakhti Hai Tujhe

Rah Tu, Rahru Bhi Tu, Rahbar Bhi Tu, Manzil Bhi Tu

Kanpta Hai Dil Tera Andesha-e-Toofan Se Kya

Na-Khuda Tu, Beher Tu, Kashti Bhi Tu, Sahil Bhi Tu

Dekh Aa Kar Kaucha-e-Chaak-e-Greban Mein Kabhi

Qais Tu, Laila Bhi Tu, Sehra Bhi Tu, Mehmil Bhi Tu

Waye Nadani Ke Tu Mouhtaj-e-Saqi Ho Gya

Mai Bhi Tu, Meena Bhi Tu, Saqi Bhi Tu, Mehfil Bhi Tu

Shaola Ban Kar Phoonk De Khashak-e-Ghair Allah Ko

Khof-e-Batil Kya Ke Hai Gharatgar-e-Batil Bhi Tu

Be-Khabar! Tu Jouhar-e-Aaeena-e-Ayyam Hai

Tu Zamane Mein Khuda Ka Akhri Pegham Hai

Apni Asliyat Se Ho Agah Ae Ghafil Ke Tu

Qatra Hai, Lekin Misal-e-Behr Be-Payan Bhi Hai

Kyun Giraftar-e-Tilism-e-Haich Maqdari Hai Tu

Dekh To Poushida Tujh Mein Shoukat-e-Toofan Bhi Hai

Seena Hai Tera Amen Uss Ke Payam-e-Naaz Ka

Jo Nazam-e-Dehr Mein Paida Bhi Hai, Pinhan Bhi Hai

Haft Kishor Jis Se Ho Taskheer Be-Taigh-o-Tafnang

Tu Agar Samjhe To Tere Paas Woh Saman Bhi Hai

Ab Talak Shahid Hai Jis Par Koh-e-Faran Ka Sukoot

Ae Taghafil Paisha! Tujh Ko Yaad Woh Paiman Bhi Hai?

Tu Hi Nadaan Chand Kaliyon Par Qinaat Kar Gya

Warna Gulshan Mein Alaj-e-Tangi-e-Damaan Bhi Hai

Dil Ki Kaifiat Hai Paida Parda-e-Taqreer Mein

Kiswat-e-Meena Mein Mai Mastoor Bhi, Uryan Bhi Hai

Phoonk Dala Hai Meri Aatish-Nawayi Ne Mujhe

Aur Meri Zindagaani Ka Yehi Samaan Bhi Hai

Raaz Iss Aatish Nawai Ka Mere Seene Mein Dekh

Jalwa-e-Taqdeer Mere Dil Ke Aaeene Mein Dekh!

Aasman Ho Ga Sehar Ke Noor Se Aaeena Posh

Aur Zulmat Raat Ki Seemab Pa Ho Jaye Gi

Iss Qadar Ho Gi Tarannum Aafreen Baad-e-Bahar

Nukhat-e-Khawabeeda Ghunche Ki Nawa Ho Jaye Gi

Aa Milain Ge Seena Chakaan-e-Chaman Se Seena Chaak

Bazm-e-Gul Ki Hum-Nafas Baad-e-Saba Ho Jaye Gi

Shabnam Afshani Meri Paida Kare Gi Souz-o-Saaz

Iss Chamanki Har Kali Dard Ashna Ho Jaye Gi

Dekh Lo Ge Sitwat-e-Raftar-e-Darya Ka Ma’al

Mouj-e-Muztar Hi Isse Zanjeer Pa Ho Jaye Gi

Phir Dilon Ko Yaad Aa Jaye Ga Paigham-e-Sujood

Phir Jabeen Khak-e-Haram Se Aashna Ho Jaye Gi

Nala-e-Sayyad Se Hon Ge Nawa Saman-e-Tayoor

Khoon-e-Gulcheen Se Kali Rangeen Qaba Ho Jaye Gi

Ankh Jo Kuch Dekhti Hai, Lab Pe Aa Sakta Nahin

Mehw-e-Hairat Hun Ke Dunya Kya Se Kya Ho Jaye Gi

Shab Gurezan Ho Gi Akhir Jalwa-e-Khursheed Se

Ye Chaman Maamoor Ho Ga Naghma-e-Touheed Se
