darmiyan KHud apni hasti ho to hum bhi kya karen

MORE BYKhalilur Rahman Azmi

    darmiyāñ ḳhud apnī hastī ho to ham bhī kyā kareñ

    ā.īna dekheñ ki apne-āp se pardā kareñ

    When one’s being is in between what action should entail

    Should one look into the mirror or else cast a veil?

    haal ke sailāb meñ to bah ga.ī maazī laash

    dafn ab kis galī meñ ham ġham-e-fardā kareñ

    In floods of present time the corpse of past is swept away

    In whose street should one inter tomorrow’s sorrow say?

    ek do pal rahegā sab ke chehroñ tilism

    koī aisā ho ki jis ko der tak dekhā kareñ

    Each and every face shall cast its spell a moment, two

    There should be someone who for long I can hold in view

    ye to sach hai zahr lagte haiñ hameñ bastī ke log

    kis tavaqqo par magar ābād ye sahrā kareñ

    Tis true that city people just as poison to me seem

    On what hope this wilderness then shall I redeem?

    sar-phire sab jam.a hoñ sab ke saroñ par ho charāġh

    bas chale to ham bhī aisā jashn ik barpā kareñ

    With lamps upon their head should gather people all deranged

    If but I could a festival like this I’d have arranged

    darmiyan KHud apni hasti ho to hum bhi kya karen

    aaina dekhen ki apne-ap se parda karen

    When one’s being is in between what action should entail

    Should one look into the mirror or else cast a veil?

    haal ke sailab mein to bah gai mazi ki lash

    dafn ab kis ki gali mein hum gham-e-farda karen

    In floods of present time the corpse of past is swept away

    In whose street should one inter tomorrow’s sorrow say?

    ek do pal hi rahega sab ke chehron ka tilism

    koi aisa ho ki jis ko der tak dekha karen

    Each and every face shall cast its spell a moment, two

    There should be someone who for long I can hold in view

    ye to sach hai zahr lagte hain hamein basti ke log

    kis tawaqqo par magar aabaad ye sahra karen

    Tis true that city people just as poison to me seem

    On what hope this wilderness then shall I redeem?

    sar-phire sab jama hon sab ke saron par ho charagh

    bas chale to hum bhi aisa jashn ek barpa karen

    With lamps upon their head should gather people all deranged

    If but I could a festival like this I’d have arranged
