Ghazal 70

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

sitaron se ulajhta ja raha hun

kisi ka yun to hua kaun umr bhar phir bhi

narm faza ki karwaTen dil ko dukha ke rah gain

aur ham bhuul ga.e hoñ tujhe aisā bhī nahīñ

ek muddat se teri yaad bhi aai na hamein

aur hum bhul gae hon tujhe aisa bhi nahin

See Ghazal

koī samjhe to ek baat kahūñ

ishq taufīq hai gunāh nahīñ

if someone were to listen, one thing I will opine

Love is not a crime forsooth it is grace divine

koi samjhe to ek baat kahun

ishq taufiq hai gunah nahin

if someone were to listen, one thing I will opine

Love is not a crime forsooth it is grace divine

Translation

tum muḳhātib bhī ho qarīb bhī ho

tum ko dekheñ ki tum se baat kareñ

You're in front and near me too

Should I converse or look at you?

tum muKHatib bhi ho qarib bhi ho

tum ko dekhen ki tum se baat karen

You're in front and near me too

Should I converse or look at you?

Translation

maut kā bhī ilaaj ho shāyad

zindagī kā koī ilaaj nahīñ

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

maut ka bhi ilaj ho shayad

zindagi ka koi ilaj nahin

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

Rubai 61

khote hain agar jaan to kho lene de

karte nahin kuchh to kaam karna kya aae

tu hath ko jab hath mein le leti hai

kahti hain yahi teri nigahen ai dost

har saz se hoti nahin ye dhun paida
