ab tere hijr mein yun umr basar hoti hai
Interesting Fact
January 1971
ab tire hijr meñ yuuñ umr basar hotī hai
shaam hotī hai to ro ro ke sahar hotī hai
kyuuñ sar-e-shām umīdoñ ke diye bujhne lage
kitnī vīrān tirī rāhguzar hotī hai
be-ḳhayālī meñ bhī phir un kā ḳhayāl aatā hai
vahī tasvīr mire pesh-e-nazar hotī hai
ye avadh hai ki jahāñ shaam kabhī ḳhatm nahīñ
vo banaras hai jahāñ roz sahar hotī hai
apne barbād nasheman ko bhulā detā huuñ
jab sulagte hue gulshan pe nazar hotī hai
barq girtī hai to ḳhirman ko jalā jaatī hai
kab use mehnat-e-dahqāñ kī ḳhabar hotī hai
haa.e phūloñ ke muqaddar pe bhī dil rotā hai
zindagī un kī bhī kāñToñ meñ basar hotī hai
āriz-e-ġhuncha-o-gul aur dahak uThte haiñ
ashk-e-shabnam meñ bhī tāsīr-e-sharar hotī hai
maiñ vo mahrūm-e-mohabbat huuñ ki 'anvār' mirī
jo duā hai vahī mahrūm-e-asar hotī hai
ab tere hijr mein yun umr basar hoti hai
sham hoti hai to ro ro ke sahar hoti hai
kyun sar-e-sham umidon ke diye bujhne lage
kitni viran teri rahguzar hoti hai
be-KHayali mein bhi phir un ka KHayal aata hai
wahi taswir mere pesh-e-nazar hoti hai
ye awadh hai ki jahan sham kabhi KHatm nahin
wo banaras hai jahan roz sahar hoti hai
apne barbaad nasheman ko bhula deta hun
jab sulagte hue gulshan pe nazar hoti hai
barq girti hai to KHirman ko jala jati hai
kab use mehnat-e-dahqan ki KHabar hoti hai
hae phulon ke muqaddar pe bhi dil rota hai
zindagi un ki bhi kanTon mein basar hoti hai
aariz-e-ghuncha-o-gul aur dahak uThte hain
ashk-e-shabnam mein bhi tasir-e-sharar hoti hai
main wo mahrum-e-mohabbat hun ki 'anwar' meri
jo dua hai wahi mahrum-e-asar hoti hai
