~ Adhoori si ~


~ Adhoori Si ~

Tishnagi hai tujh se,
Adawaten kyon mujh se?
Aatishain hain harsu,
Ba-ranjish tere falak pe ..
Rehta hai musht-e-ghubaar,
Faryadi sa iss fiza main ..
Maausam-e-bekasii ho,
Dayaar-e-dasht nafas main ..
Miraaj-e-ulfat main bheega,
Thoda laal, zyaada sa neelaa …
Nichod de tu mere dil ko,
Qatra qatra tapkega jo,
Raqeeb woh lahu sa,
Kareeb jo kabhi hua tha ..
Jazb be-awaaz kar yun,
Meri khalish si bahaal,
Shadaabee Rooh-e-mitti main ho …
Tark-e-bazm — main — adhoori si …
Furqat ke lamhon main, tab
Hayaat ho uthega wahi waqia bhi phir yun — Jab
Zameen-doz — main — fatiha odhe — safed libas pehne,
Ban kar mitti ki makhsus humkhayal,
Ja milungi gale, habeeb si main ..
Raghen meri hongi saraabor phir tujh se ..
Ki — beshaq — adawaten hon mujh se,
‘Gar tishnagi jo tujh se,
Hoon muqammal main phir kis se?

  1. Sadia, I must tell you it is "painful" to see your blog postings, and--knowing what a fine and inspired writer you are--it is not in my language. :-(

    Even if something is lost in the translation (in your opinion) is it not possible something is "gained" in an English version? :-)

    PEACE and LIGHT!
