Ghazal 52
Sher-o-Shayari 64
tum ne kiyā na yaad kabhī bhuul kar hameñ
ham ne tumhārī yaad meñ sab kuchh bhulā diyā
you did not ever think of me even by mistake
and in your thoughts everything else I did forsake
tum ne kiya na yaad kabhi bhul kar hamein
hum ne tumhaari yaad mein sab kuchh bhula diya
you did not ever think of me even by mistake
and in your thoughts everything else I did forsake
in hasratoñ se kah do kahīñ aur jā baseñ
itnī jagah kahāñ hai dil-e-dāġh-dār meñ
tell all my desires to go find another place
in this scarred heart alas there isn't enough space
in hasraton se kah do kahin aur ja basen
itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-dagh-dar mein
tell all my desires to go find another place
in this scarred heart alas there isn't enough space
kitnā hai bad-nasīb 'zafar' dafn ke liye
do gaz zamīn bhī na milī kū-e-yār meñ
kitna hai bad-nasib 'zafar' dafn ke liye
do gaz zamin bhi na mili ku-e-yar mein
baat karnī mujhe mushkil kabhī aisī to na thī
jaisī ab hai tirī mahfil kabhī aisī to na thī
conversing has never been so diffficult for me
your company now is no more as it used to be
baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
jaisi ab hai teri mahfil kabhi aisi to na thi
conversing has never been so diffficult for me
your company now is no more as it used to be
