holi

MORE BYNazeer Akbarabadi

    huā jo aa ke nishāñ āshkār holī

    bajā rabāb se mil kar sitār holī

    surūd raqs huā be-shumār holī

    hañsī ḳhushī meñ baḌhā kārobār holī

    zabāñ pe naam huā baar baar holī

    ḳhushī dhuum se har ghar meñ rañg banvā.e

    gulāl abiir ke bhar bhar ke thaal rakhvā.e

    nashoñ ke josh hue raag rañg Thahrā.e

    jhamakte ruup ke ban ban ke svāñg dikhlā.e

    huā hujūm ajab har kanār holī

    galī meñ kūche meñ ġhul shor ho rahe aksar

    chhiḌakne rañg lage yaar har ghaḌī bhar bhar

    badan meñ bhīge haiñ kapḌe gulāl chehroñ par

    machī ye dhuum to apne gharoñ se ḳhush ho kar

    tamāshā dekhne nikle nigār holī

    bahār chhiḌakvāñ kapḌoñ jab nazar aa.ī

    har ishq-bāz ne dil murād bharpā.ī

    nigah laḌā ke pukārā har ek shaidā.ī

    miyāñ ye tum ne jo poshāk apnī dikhlā.ī

    ḳhush aayā ab hameñ naqsh-o-nigār holī

    tumhāre dekh ke muñh par gulāl laalī

    hamāre dil ko huī har tarah ḳhush-hālī

    nigah ne mai-e-gul-rañg bharī pyālī

    jo hans ke do hameñ pyāre tum us ghaḌī gaalī

    to ham bhī jāneñ ki aisā hai pyaar holī

    jo hai tum ne ye holī turfa tayyārī

    to hañs ke dekho idhar ko bhī jaan yak baarī

    tumhārī aan bahut ham ko lagtī hai pyārī

    lagā do haath se apne jo ek pichkārī

    to ham bhī dekheñ badan par siñgār holī

    tumhāre milne rakh kar ham apne dil meñ dhyān

    khaḌe haiñ aas lagā kar ki dekh leñ ik aan

    ye ḳhush-dilī jo Thahrā hai aan kar sāmān

    gale meñ Daal ke bāñheñ ḳhushī se tum ai jaan

    pahnāo ham ko bhī ik dam ye haar holī

    udhar se rañg liye aao tum idhar se ham

    gulāl abiir maleñ muñh pe ho ke ḳhush har dam

    ḳhushī se boleñ hañseñ holī khel kar bāham

    bahut dinoñ se hameñ to tumhāre sar qasam

    isī ummīd meñ thā intizār holī

    butoñ gāliyāñ hans hans ke koī sahtā hai

    gulāl paḌtā hai kapḌoñ se rañg bahtā hai

    lagā ke taak koī muñh ko dekh rahtā hai

    'nazīr' yaar se apne khaḌā ye kahtā hai

    mazā dikhā hameñ kuchh bhī yaar holī

    hua jo aa ke nishan aashkar holi ka

    baja rabab se mil kar sitar holi ka

    surud raqs hua be-shumar holi ka

    hansi KHushi mein baDha karobar holi ka

    zaban pe nam hua bar bar holi ka

    KHushi ki dhum se har ghar mein rang banwae

    gulal abir ke bhar bhar ke thaal rakhwae

    nashon ke josh hue rag rang Thahrae

    jhamakte rup ke ban ban ke swang dikhlae

    hua hujum ajab har kanar holi ka

    gali mein kuche mein ghul shor ho rahe aksar

    chhiDakne rang lage yar har ghaDi bhar bhar

    badan mein bhige hain kapDe gulal chehron par

    machi ye dhum to apne gharon se KHush ho kar

    tamasha dekhne nikle nigar holi ka

    bahaar chhiDakwan kapDon ki jab nazar aai

    har ishq-baz ne dil ki murad bharpai

    nigah laDa ke pukara har ek shaidai

    miyan ye tum ne jo poshak apni dikhlai

    KHush aaya ab hamein naqsh-o-nigar holi ka

    tumhaare dekh ke munh par gulal ki lali

    hamare dil ko hui har tarah ki KHush-haali

    nigah ne di mai-e-gul-rang ki bhari pyali

    jo hans ke do hamein pyare tum us ghaDi gali

    to hum bhi jaanen ki aisa hai pyar holi ka

    jo ki hai tum ne ye holi ki turfa tayyari

    to hans ke dekho idhar ko bhi jaan yak bari

    tumhaari aan bahut hum ko lagti hai pyari

    laga do hath se apne jo ek pichkari

    to hum bhi dekhen badan par singar holi ka

    tumhaare milne ka rakh kar hum apne dil mein dhyan

    khaDe hain aas laga kar ki dekh len ek aan

    ye KHush-dili ka jo Thahra hai aan kar saman

    gale mein Dal ke banhen KHushi se tum ai jaan

    pahnao hum ko bhi ek dam ye haar holi ka

    udhar se rang liye aao tum idhar se hum

    gulal abir malen munh pe ho ke KHush har dam

    KHushi se bolen hansen holi khel kar baham

    bahut dinon se hamein to tumhaare sar ki qasam

    isi ummid mein tha intizar holi ka

    buton ki galiyan hans hans ke koi sahta hai

    gulal paDta hai kapDon se rang bahta hai

    laga ke tak koi munh ko dekh rahta hai

    'nazir' yar se apne khaDa ye kahta hai

    maza dikha hamein kuchh tu bhi yar holi ka
