Baab

[baabulilm]

zikr us pari-vash ka aur phir bayan apna

ban gaya raqib akhir, tha jo raz-dan apna

the splendour of her beauty and the manner I narrate

so my rival he's become, who was my confidant to date

[baabulilm]

Aati jaati saans ka aalam na pooch, jaise dohari dhaar ka khanjar chaley...

[baabulilm]

zindagī hai yā koī tūfān hai!

ham to is jiine ke hāthoñ mar chale

[baabulilm]

Ashkon ko arzu-e-riha.i hai roiye,

Ankhon ki ab isi men bhala.i hai roiye.

Rona ilaj-e-zulmat-e-duniya nahin to kya,

kam-az-kam ehtijaj-e-ḳhuda.i hai roiye.

Taslim kar liya hai jo ḳhud ko charaġh-e-haq,

duniya qadam qadam pe saba.i(gentle breeze) hai roiye.

ḳhush hain to phir musafir-e-duniya nahin hain aap,

Is dasht men bas abla-pa.i(having blisters in the feet,) hai roiye.

ham hain asir-e-zabt(captive, bound by tolerance) ijazat nahin hamen,

ro pa rahe hain aap badha.i hai roiye..

[baabulilm]

Ashkon ko arzu-e-riha.i hai roiye

Ankhon ki ab isi men bhala.i hai roiye

Qissay Meri Ulfat K Jo Marqoom Hain Saare"

Aa Dekh Tere Naam Se Mosoom Hain Saare"

Bus Is Liye Har Kaam Adhoora Hi Parra Hai"

Khaadim Bhi Meri Qaum K Makhdoom Hain Saare"

Ab kon Mere Paaon Ki Zanjeer Ko Kholay"

Haakim Meri Basti K Bhi Mehkoom Hain Saare"

Shayed Yeh Zarf Hai Jo Khamosh Houn Ab Tak"

Warna To Tere Aeib Bhi Maloom Hain Saare"

Sub Jurm Meri Zaat Se Mansoob Howy "Mohsin"

Kya Mere Siwa Shehar Mein Masoom Hain Saare

[baabulilm]

Par nikalte rahe bikharte rahe

Unchi nichi udaan chalti rahi

[baabulilm]

Bhuuk se Dagmaga rahe hain paanv

Aur bazar se guzarna hai

[baabulilm]

Hai marizon mein tazkira apna

Azmai hui dava ki tarah

[baabulilm]

tode jaate hain jo shishe

vo nokile ho jaate hain

[baabulilm]

Khat Lifafe Mein Ghair Ka Nikla

Us Ka Qasid Bhi Be-Vafa Nikla

[baabulilm]

Meri Khaaq Bhi Udegi Ba Adab Teri Gali Se,

Tere Aastaan Se Uncha Na Mera Gubaar Hoga.

[baabulilm]

Kya Takalluf Kare Yeh Kehne Mei

Yaro! Jo Bhi Khus Hai Hum Us Se Jalte Hai

Jaun Elia

[baabulilm]

Humein Bhi Faqa Kashi Ne Kafir Bana dia Hai,

Khayal Roti K Aaj Sajde Mei Aagaey They..

[baabulilm]

Zindegi Haey!! Tere Naaz Uthaey Na Gaey,

Humse Aadaab Saleeqe Se Nibhaey Na Gaey..

[baabulilm]

[baabulilm]

Hazaar Dard Shab-e-Aarzu Ki Raah Mei Hai,

Koi Thikana Batao Ke Qafila Utre........
