Ghazal
Usky wo paon ki jhankar meri toba hay
Lag rehey hay koi ootar meri toba hay
Jaisay khushbo koi deeray se guzr jati **
Aise hay shukh ki raftar meri toba hay
Ishq ko log samajhtay hain darra sada hay
Rasta yar hay purkhar meri toba hay
Ishk main lut gia jo pa gia wohi manzal
Aag se piar ka izhar meri toba hay
Husn ko dhondhna mehnga hi parra hay humko
Hay tamasha sare bazar meri toba hay
Jurm bus itna tha bus bhr kay nazar dekha tha
Mehr ab dar pa hay dar meri yoba hay

Today, there are part-time relationships,
By the time they are finished,
But sometimes from such relationships,
There become a relation
In which the man becomes a poet.

** - Izhar Jiskani

Sweetheart,
If you don't see my poetry,
It's not that I don't miss you,
Or I've stopped loving you,
But, It's just a sudden change,
Brought by our education system.
Earlier, there was love only,
Which used to make people cry,
But now Education and Job are accompanied with love.
Now, people not only cry but die.
Circumstances are changed,
But don't worry,
Let's hope,
We will win someday.

** Izhar Jiskani

Pahadon Ke Piche Ki Duniya

Behti nadiyan, geet sunaye,
Lehron mein chandni angdai le aaye.
Sabz wadiyan baatein karein,
Hawaon ki palkon pe sapne dharein.

Chhupaa hai yahan ek jahaan naye rangon ka,
Jahan har manzar hai angan guliston ka.
Aasmaan bhi jhuk kar kare guftagu,
Badalon ki chadar tale khwab ** jaaye tu.

Kya yeh haqeeqat hai ya ek dastaan?
Ya hai mohabbat ka koi paighaam?
Milega wahan ja kar hi inka jawab,
Jahan har shai kare husn ka izhar.

Kehte hain, yeh jannat ka ek aaina hai,
Jahan jamal bhi hai aur kamal bhi shana hai.
Hawaon mein ghulay hain afsane kayi,
Har phool sunaye naghme naye hi sahi.

Barson se thi jis pal ki raah,
Aye rohaniyat! Dekh ab woh nigah.
