Ghazal 64

zindagi maut ke pahlu mein bhali lagti hai

dil ke andar dard aankhon mein nami ban jaiye

na jaane sher mein kis dard ka hawala tha

mujhe in aate jate mausamon se Dar nahin lagta

main sar chhupaun kahan saya-e-nazar ke baghair

Nazm 22

mashriq haar gaya

kipling ne kaha tha

mohabbat

aisi quwwat jo sarf nahin hoti hai

aankhen

jine ke mani aankhen hain

main aur tum

main main hun

safar

kai sar-zaminen sada de rahi hain ki aao

ghaas meñ jazb hue hoñge zamīñ ke aañsū

paañv rakhtā huuñ to halkī sī namī lagtī hai

ghas mein jazb hue honge zamin ke aansu

panw rakhta hun to halki si nami lagti hai

dar-ba-dar Thokareñ khā.īñ to ye mālūm huā

ghar kise kahte haiñ kyā chiiz hai be-ghar honā

dar-ba-dar Thokaren khain to ye malum hua

ghar kise kahte hain kya chiz hai be-ghar hona

na jaane sher meñ kis dard kā havāla thā

ki jo bhī lafz thā vo dil dukhāne vaalā thā

TRANSLATION

I know not what grief did my she’r contain,

For each word in it was an agonizing pain.

na jaane sher mein kis dard ka hawala tha

ki jo bhi lafz tha wo dil dukhane wala tha

TRANSLATION

I know not what grief did my she’r contain,

For each word in it was an agonizing pain.

Sagar Akbarabadi

sach to kah duuñ magar is daur ke insānoñ ko

baat jo dil se nikaltī hai burī lagtī hai

sach to kah dun magar is daur ke insanon ko

baat jo dil se nikalti hai buri lagti hai

itnī kāvish bhī na kar merī asīrī ke liye

tū kahīñ merā giraftār na samjhā jaa.e

itni kawish bhi na kar meri asiri ke liye

tu kahin mera giraftar na samjha jae
