Your Face Is Like the Rose
Janid Kashmiri Dec 2024
Your face is like the rose in bloom,  
A radiant charm in every room.  
Its glow reflects a quiet light,  
A beauty soft, serene, and bright.  

Cover it with the veil so fine,  
A treasure rare, a gift divine.  
Let modesty guard this precious art,  
A jewel meant for the pure of heart.  

Each glance it draws, a silent prayer,  
A sign of blessings rich and fair.  
Protect its grace from fleeting gaze,  
And let it shine in rightful ways.  

Your face is like the rose, so pure,  
A creation crafted to endure.  
Wrap it gently, in modesty's care,  
And let its fragrance fill the air.

Tu
Janid Kashmiri Nov 2024
Tu
Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.

Har saans mein jo bas gaya hai khushbu banke,  
Us mehka hua jahan mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Mere labon pe tera zikr sada hai,  
Mere har qissa-e-gham mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Chaand ke saath jo guftagu karun raaton mein,  
Wahan bhi mere lafzon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Jahan nazar uthaoon, tera chehra dikhta hai,  
Har manzar ke rangon mein bas tu hi tu hai.

Zindagi mein meri bas tu hi tu hai,  
Har khwab mein meri bas tu hi tu hai.
Har haal mein hum behaal rahe  
Gham-e-jaan se har dam ndhaal rahe  

Tumhari chahat ki rahguzar mein  
Kabhi khaak, kabhi paimaal rahe  

Na khwab bane, na taabeer mili  
Bas azaab hi azaab ke hamaal rahe  

Dhoop sehte guzargayi sadiyaan  
Shab-e-hijr ke hi sawaal rahe  

Mohabbat ke saahil bhi door the  
Aur dil ke toofaan be-zawaal rahe  

Shajar-e-umeed ka saaya na mila  
Hum faseel-e-gham ke kamaal rahe  

Jo charaagh jalaye the aarzu ke  
Wahi aandhiyon mein bemisaal rahe  

Rah-e-wafa mein the zakhm beshumaar  
Phir bhi hanste rahe, lajawab rahe  

Humne socha tha dil ka dard sunayein  
Magar lab pe qufl, aur sawaal rahe  

Har shaam ne tanhai ka zehar diya  
Har raat ke geet bhi malaal rahe

Kashish
Janid Kashmiri Nov 2024
Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke dil thehar jaye  
Chahne wale ka har zakhm, khud sanwar jaye  

Yeh jo lams hai tera, yeh jadoo ka raaz sa  
Dil ki veeran galiyon mein roshni bhar jaye  

Teri baaton ka asar dil pe utarta aisa  
Har khayal, har dua tujh pe hi thehar jaye  

Yeh mohabbat hai ya koi khwab ka dhoka  
Jo bhi mile, wohi khwahish ban ke bikhar jaye  

Meri har saans mein, tere wujood ka ehsaas  
Mere dil ka har dukh, tere qadam par mar jaye  

Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke sab bhool jayein  
Dil ke har goshe mein tu hi tu thehar jaye

Takta Hoon Tum Ko
Janid Kashmiri Nov 2024
Takta hoon tum ko, yeh dil behak jata hai  
Tumhare jalwe mein jahan tham sa jata hai  

Tumhari aankhon ki gehraayi mein doob jata hoon  
Tumhari muskaan pe har dard bhool jata hoon  

Tum chalti ** to hawa gungunane lagti hai  
Tum bolti ** to khamoshi bhi jagti hai  

Yeh dil tumhare lamss ki tamanna liye  
Har lamha teri qurbat ki dua kiye  

Magar tum door **, yeh faasle kyun hain?  
Yeh faaslon mein bhi mohabbat ke geet kyun hain?  

Takta hoon tum ko, aur jeeta hoon tum mein  
Tumhare khwabon mein, aur haqeeqat ke gum mein
I want to make you mine,  
not just in whispered promises,  
not just in silent prayers,  
but in the life we build, brick by brick,  
hand in hand.  

But my hands empty, searching
grasp only air where security should be.  
Not because I do not try,  
not because I do not dream,  
but because the world demands more  
than love alone.  

I am not afraid of struggle.  
I am not ashamed of waiting.  
But I fear the days slipping,  
the distance stretching,  
the time that asks me, "When?"
when I have no answer yet.  

I do not want to come to you  
with only poetry in my pockets,  
with only love in my voice.  
I want to bring you a future,  
solid as the ground beneath our feet,  
safe as the home I will build for us.  

So I walk forward,  
step by step, fight by fight,  
knowing that one day,  
when I stand before you,  
it won’t just be as a lover
but as the man who kept his promise.

My love for you
My love for you  
is pure and true,  
a feeling that resides in my heart,  
without expectations or demands.  

I wish for your happiness,  
pray for your peace,  
and hope for your well-being,  
in every moment.  

I strive to become better,  
to be patient and strong,  
to support you from afar,  
with respect and dignity.  

This love guides me,  
to remain honest and sincere,  
to honor you with care,  
and to stay within the bounds of faith.

Shaam-e-gham
Janid Kashmiri Nov 2024
Guzar ta nahi ye shaam-e-gham  
Zindagi ke dukhon ka hai peham sitam  

Qadam qadam par thakan ka pehra  
Himaton ke chiragh bhi ** gaye madhham  

Musaafir hoon raahon ka jin ko khabar  
Manzilon ka saraab hai, dil ka maatam  

Khawab jo bune the, reza reza huye  
Haath khaali rahe, na raha koi dum  

Sawaal ye hai, aye falak-e-jafa  
Kitna aur sehna hai, bata ye sanam  

Guzar jaye ye shaam-e-gham kisi tarah  
Warna raah mein bikhar jayein hum

The Eye of Time
Janid Kashmiri Nov 2024
The eye of time has witnessed countless spectacles,  
Every joy bound to wounds, a profound connection tangible.  

Dreams extinguished in silence, unseen by all,  
Desires crumbling as wishes at their side would fall.  

Time played its games in the theater of existence,  
Love defeated, while hatred found persistence.  

Hearts became desolate in mere moments,  
Helplessness weeping at the doorstep of life's torments.  

The eye of time could never grasp this mystery,  
Why behind every smile lurks sorrow's misery.  

Yet this heart, for centuries, has asked again,  
Why does darkness follow when light remains?

I Shed Tears Every Night
Janid Kashmiri Dec 2024
I shed tears every night, unseen,  
For dreams I’ve lost, for what has been.  
The silence speaks of wounds so deep,  
A restless soul that cannot sleep.  

Each tear that falls, a story untold,  
Of love, of pain, of days grown cold.  
I carry burdens no one can see,  
A heart that longs, yet cannot be free.  

I call to Allah in whispered tones,  
With trembling hands and aching bones.  
"Grant me strength," my prayer remains,  
"To endure this life, its countless pains."  

The night becomes my closest friend,  
A witness to the tears I send.  
Yet in the dark, a hope does shine,  
That His mercy will one day be mine.  

So I shed tears every night, sincere,  
For a brighter dawn to draw near.  
For peace, for love, for a tranquil heart,  
For a life where sorrows will depart.
Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.  

Jo dil ke kone mein chhupa dukh tha,  
Aaj ban gaya hai shor hayaat ka meray.  

Meri har khushi ko main khud mitata raha,  
Qareeb na aaya koi bhi saath ka meray.  

Mohabbat ka diya khud hi bujhaya maine,  
Kya gila karun ab kisi firaaq ka meray?  

Har dafa main khud hi chor ban jata ***,  
Shikayat kaisi ** kisi ilzaam ka meray?  

Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.

— The End —
