sal-e-nau
Interesting Fact
(Aligarh, The night of 31st December 1950)
ab raat Dhal rahī hai koī do kā vaqt hai
āñkhoñ meñ niiñd jhuul rahī hai abhī talak
lekin maiñ sāl-e-nau ke liye jāgtā rahūñ
ummīd ke charāġh jalā.ūñ na.e na.e
baiThā huuñ ḳhāmushī kī navāoñ ko chheḌ kar
apne ġhamoñ se aaj bhī fursat nahīñ mujhe
palkoñ pe aaj bhī to larazte haiñ ye diye
lekin unhīñ ġhamoñ se nayā āstāñ banā
vaj.h-e-sukūñ hai aaj ḳhayāl-e-gurez-pā
TuuTe hue diloñ ko sahārā bhī de sakā
jab dil kī dhaḌkanoñ se mile dars-e-āgahī
phir kis liye junūñ meñ koī intishār ho
nā-kāmiyāñ hayāt kī sharmā na jā.eñgī
is des kī fazāoñ se gar ham ko pyaar ho
in mai-kadoñ se kal bhī na thā mujh ko vāsta
jin meñ lahū ke jaam uThāte haiñ hukmarāñ
ehsās kī nigāh magar dekhtī hai ab
kuchh aur tez-gām huā kārvān-e-shauq
aur sāl-e-nau bhī saath isī kārvāñ ke hai
in jhoñpaḌoñ meñ aaj charāġhāñ nahīñ to kyā
do-chār saal aur bhī imkāñ nahīñ to kyā
fasl-e-bahār aa.egī jhūmeñgī Dāliyāñ
phūloñ meñ paat paat meñ rañgat samā.egī
hoñge kabhī to jām-ba-kaf ḳhās-o-ām sab
har har nigāh sāġhar-o-mīnā uThā.egī
zulf-e-hayāt shauq se parcham uḌā.egī
maiñ aaj sāl-e-nau ke liye jāgtā rahūñ
ummīd ke charāġh jalā.ūñ na.e na.e
ab raat Dhal rahi hai koi do ka waqt hai
aankhon mein nind jhul rahi hai abhi talak
lekin main sal-e-nau ke liye jagta rahun
ummid ke charagh jalaun nae nae
baiTha hun KHamushi ki nawaon ko chheD kar
apne ghamon se aaj bhi fursat nahin mujhe
palkon pe aaj bhi to larazte hain ye diye
lekin unhin ghamon se naya aastan bana
wajh-e-sukun hai aaj KHayal-e-gurez-pa
TuTe hue dilon ko sahaara bhi de saka
jab dil ki dhaDkanon se mile dars-e-agahi
phir kis liye junun mein koi intishaar ho
na-kaamiyan hayat ki sharma na jaengi
is des ki fazaon se gar hum ko pyar ho
in mai-kadon se kal bhi na tha mujh ko wasta
jin mein lahu ke jam uThate hain hukmaran
ehsas ki nigah magar dekhti hai ab
kuchh aur tez-gam hua karwan-e-shauq
aur sal-e-nau bhi sath isi karwan ke hai
in jhonpaDon mein aaj charaghan nahin to kya
do-chaar sal aur bhi imkan nahin to kya
fasl-e-bahaar aaegi jhumengi Daliyan
phulon mein pat pat mein rangat samaegi
honge kabhi to jam-ba-kaf KHas-o-am sab
har har nigah saghar-o-mina uThaegi
zulf-e-hayat shauq se parcham uDaegi
main aaj sal-e-nau ke liye jagta rahun
ummid ke charagh jalaun nae nae
