Ek sehmi si khwaish dabi rehti hai palko talle,
ek nayaab pankho ki talaash hai shayad usse..
Aksar khamoshi Ke lafzon Mei pucha karti hai,
"Aye dost, itna bata, kis gunaah Ka illzam hai mujhpe?"

---------
A beautiful English translation by fellow poetess Sukeerti:

A scared little wish stays embedded underneath the lashes of my eyes;
Perhaps, it's searching for a pair of flight feathers- rare and precious,
As often, in lyrics enclosed by quietude, this wish questions me-
"O friend of mine, please let me know, what sin am I a convict of?"

Dil ke ehsaas hote hain bhut khaas,
Shayad tabhi umadte hai bhut sawaal iske paas.
Tuta dil or tuta darpan hai ek samaan,
Jodne ki koshish karenge tou hoga kudh ko hi dard jiska nahi hai koi bakhaan.


Dil, Dil se milte hai tou pyar hota hai,
Dil, Dil ke liye hi beqarar hota hai,
Ye lafzon ki bhasha nahi samjhta saab,
Ye tou us nayno ke andaaz ko hi smjh leta hai


Yaaron dil kabhi kisi ka dukhana nahi,
Beshak tutne ki awaaz aati nahi.
Par khuda kasam dard bhut hai hota,
Jab ye nanha dil hai rota.

Jab kabhi hum khud se hi ruth jatey hai,
Dil rota hai aur aankhon se ashq tapak jaatey hai,
Ye bahut nadaan hota hai,
Bin soche hi pyar kr leta hai

Bin ankhiyon ke dekh leta hai bahut kuch,
Bin kaano ke sun leta hai har raag sach much.
Haal apne dil ka suna nahi sakte
Ujad gayi hai duniya jo thi khubsurat isme baste

Sab kuchh es chhote dil me chhipa ke bhi chup rahta hai,
Puri duniya ka dard bhi dedo tou aah tak nahi bharta hai,
Kabhi khush hokar muskura deta hai,
Tou kabhi taklifon ko dekhkar tut bhi jata hai.

Kabhi apne aap ko bhoolti ***
Kabhi apne aap ko chunti ***
Bas dhundhti *** khud ko

Kabhi inn bikhre panno mein
Kabhi inme likhe lafzon mein
Padhti *** khud ko

Kabhi dhokha kha jane mein
Fir khud ko saza de jane mein
Maarti *** khud ko

Kabhi baarish ki awaz mein
Kabhi hawaon ki aahat mein
Dekhti *** khud ko

Kabhi bajte huwe piano mein
Kabhi gaano ke taraano mein
Sunti *** khud ko

Kabhi uski aankhon ke paani mein
Kabhi uski di hui zubani mein
Paati *** khud ko

Bas dhundhti *** khud ko
Bas dhundhti *** khud ko

Aapko paake aisa laga jaise humne apna  khuda paa liya,

Kami zindagi mein nahi hai koi aapko deke rab ne sab de diya.



Zindagi ki har khushi mil gyi hai humein aap mile zindagi mil gayi,

Is dil ki har saans mein aapke dil ki dadhkane hain samayi.



In labon par muskurahat hai sirf aapse ,

Aapko pakar khushnaseeb hain hum bhut kasam se.



In hawao ki sarsarahat mein bhi hai aapka ehsaas,

Fark nahi padta kitne meelon ke ** faasle dil ke ** aap humesha pass.



Aapke naam se poora hota hai humara naam,

Hum humesha hai aapke sirf aapke sanam.



Aapki har khwaiysh poori **,

Sabse jyada khushi milegi humko.



Aapse hai wajood humara,

Dil ki dadhkano ko aapka hai sahara.



Kayenaat ki khwaiysh nahi hai mujhe,

Humari duniya tou hai aapse.



Lafzon ke dehleez par shabd nahi hai koi,

Jo bayan kar sake ki humein aapse kitni mohabbat hoyi.



Sacchi mohabbat aapki shiddat se badhkar ki hai aapse,

Zinda rehne ke liye humein saanso ki nahi zindagi hai aapse.



Labon ke peeche ki khamoshi padh lete **,

Bin dekhe hi humein dil ka haal samjh lete **.



Kaise keh du meri dua ** jati hai beasar,

Jab bhi dil se yaad karun aapko humesha apne pass pau mere humsafar.



Jis kadar aap fikar karte ** humari,

Mil jaati hai khushiyan saari.



Achha lagta hai aapke chehre ki dekh muskurahat,

Aapko khush dekh milti hai is dil ko rahat.



Jaanejaan aap itne pyaare ** bhut acche **,

Kisi ki bhi nazar na lage kabhi aapko.



Ishwar humesha aapko mehfooz rakhe,

Har janam aapki shivani humesha mere shivai ki rahe.

Duniya mein hazaaro rishtey banao lekin ek rishta aisa banao ki jab hazaaro aapke khilaaf ** toh wo ek humesha aapke saath **….

# koi aisa ** jo bin maangey itna pyaar de…itna pyaar de ki toota hua dil fir se kahe mujhe marna nahi jeena hai.

# zindagi mein ek aise shakkhs ka hona jaroori hai jo kehne se pehle hi sab samjh jaye.

# ruthne ki adayein bhi kya gajab hain mere yaar ki… gale lagakar kehte jao baat nahi karni mujhe tumse.

# zindagi mein ek aise shakkhs ka hona jaroori hai jisko kuch bhi batane ke liye lafzon ki jaroorat na padhe.

# bharosa ek aise insaan par karo jo tumhari teen baate pehchaan sake..
1. Muskurahat ke peeche dard
2. Gusse ke peeche pyaar
3. Chup rehne ki wajah

# wo shakkhs sabse jyada aapko pyaar karta hai jo aapko rota dekh khud ro pada ** . Jo aapke liye rota ** na usey kabhi mat chhorna kyunki naseeb walon ko hi aise chahne wale milte hain.

Aaj ke pyaar me ab wo purane zazbaat nahi,
Sirf aansoo hi milenge logon se par vishwas nahi,
Rona tou Saab ab aadat ban *** hai,
Kyuki ab en aansuo ki kimat  koi khash nahi,

Ab es dil ko kisi ki chahat ka intezar nahi,
Lafzon se ghayal hain hum,Kisi khanzar ki darkaar nahi,
Jise sazaya tha murat ki tarah es sine me humne,
Usne hi kahan,Hume aapse pyaar nahi,

Hum wo kasmein bhul sakte,tute khwab nahi,
Dil tod wo kahte hai,Hume tou kuchh bhi yaad nahi,
Aaj kahte wo humse,maaf kr dijiye hume
Par mere ek bhi prashno ka unke paas jawab nahi,

I hate the love which is done only for selfish reason...

Shabdo ke guldaste se likhte hain yaara,
Khuda kasam aapke bin dil nahi lagta humara.

Aap is dil ki dadhkan **,
Aaj fir se pukar rhe hain sun tou lo.

Suna hai dil ke rishtey bin kahe sab sun lete,
Laga lo kaske apni jaan ko gale se.

Aaj keh rhe hain mohabbat hai beinteha tumse,
Kabhi juda na hona humse.

Aapke bina jiya jaye na,
Maana hai tumhe khuda.

Aap par kabhi koi aanch na aane denge,
Har takleef khud seh lenge.

Shayar ** tum,
Ghazal hai hum.

Diya ** tum,
Baati hain hum.

Naina ** tum,
Roshni hain hum.

Khuda ** tum,
Bhakt hain hum.

Ek pal bhi na jaana dur,
Ye dil ** jayega chur chur.

Is duniya mein har koi bs rulana jaanta,
Aapse milkar ye dil ne seekha dadhakta.

Ek aap hi ** jeene ki wajah hamari,
Aapkebin ye naadan hai adhuri.

Maaf krna agar humse kabhi koi bhul ** jaye,
Aapke khatir hum apni jaan kurbaan kar jaye.

Aye hawa pahucha de un tak mere paigaam,
Unke bin hum hai gumnaam.

Har saans par bs naam hai tumhara,
Zindagi jeene ka ek hi maksad hai hamara.

Lafzon mein baya nahi kar sakte ,
Hum aapko kitna hai chahte .

Taqdeer hamari hai khushnaseeb,
Jo aap hain is dil ke itne kareeb .

Ek Ehsas woh bhi hai
Aur ek Ehsas tu bhi hai
Woh todta hi chala ja raha hai
Tu jodta hi chala ja raha hai

(A feeling was that - which was him...
A feeling is that - which is you...
He kept on breaking
You kept on mending)

Woh kal ki meethi khushboo liye
Mere wujood ko tilmila raha hai
Tu aaj ke haseen waade ke saath
Kadam se Kadam badha raha hai

(He was using the fragrance of the sweet past
And making my existence shatter
You are here with me with a promise of today
Moving ahead with me walking hand in hand)


Woh khud parast apni marzi ke
Zakhm dhaaye ja raha hai
Tu hamdili se un zakhmon par
Pyar ka malham laga raha hai

(That self worshipper in his own will
Went on giving me wounds
You have only compassion to give
And are healing my painful wounds with your undying love)

Woh apne lafz zubaan pe meri
Rakh kar chalna chah raha hai
Tu honthon ki chuppi par meri
Man hi man muskaa raha hai

(He placed his words on my tongue
And made me say what he wanted to hear
You are happy with the silent curving of my lips
And your heart is contented with only my happiness)

Woh beete dinon ke safhon ko
Bhooli kitaab se chura raha hai
Tu dil pe gade hue lafzon ko
Rahat e jaam pila raha hai

(I can’t translate this very well...
He was stealing the pages of days gone by
From a book which was long forgotten
{And trying to make an impact by using matters which pained in the past}
You are nurturing the words of my heart
With nourishment of contentment and everlasting happiness)

Woh apne "ain" ke aaine mein
Tasweer purani dikha raha hai
Tu haath mera haathon mein liye
Naye rangon se Saja Raha hai. ..

(He showed in the mirror of his eyes a picture faded and eroded
You are taking my hand in yours and painting a picture full of beautiful pictures of life
{showing me the beautiful side of life})

Ek Ehsas woh bhi hai. ...
Aur Ek Ehsas tu bhi hai. ....

(Afeeling was that - which was him...
A feeling is that - which is you)

Jaante ** na ke muntazir hoti *** main. .....
Tumhare sone ke baad bedaar hone ki....
bedaar hone pe tumse pyari si kuch baatein sun ne ki ....
Phir maiñ kuch kahun phir tum kuch kaho. ....
Phir ab jaana hoga hi bhale se kyun na kaho. ...
Jaante ** na ke muntazir hoti *** main. ...

Tumhari jhalak aane ki kab dikhe mujhe. ...
Mere dil ki baaton ko Kab keh paun main   tujhe. ..
Maiñ ab tak soyi nahi *** tere intezaar mein yeh. ...
Paigham pohunch jaaye bas pata chal jaaye tujhe....
Jaante ** na ke muntazir hoti *** main. ...

Yeh milon ki doori mite na mite. ...
Yeh waqt ki doori mite na mite. ...
Yeh Din aur raat ka chakkar Kate na Kate. ...
Bas sirf lafzon ke raabte se jud jaaun main phir se. ....
Jaante ** na ke muntazir hoti *** main. ....

Kuch is kadar shor kar jati hai Khamoshiyan!
Bin kuch kahe, bahot kuch keh jaati hai ye Khamoshiyan,
Jo baaten kabhi lafzon se bhi bayan na ** sake,
Wo kabhi kabhi khamoshiyan keh jaati hai,
Kabhi bigdi baat bana jati hai,
To kabhi Bannti baat bigad bhi jati hai!
Bas Kuch is kadar shor kar jati hai yeh Khamaoshiyan!

Rabab baj rahi thi kahi, jaha khuda bhi naach raha tha,
Phir na jaane kaunsi yaad-e-dard baraat leke agayi.

Naghma jo lehrake aayi, banke sur-e-shahen shah,
Wo sur jo nafs se mile, to khud dard banke beh gayi.

Aye mere jaan-o-dil, jamal-e-mah suna teri nazm-e-kamal,
Hum to ro rahe hain, jab se teri lafzon, aasu ban ke beh gayi.

Andaaz mat pucho koi, apna batane layak nahi rahi,
Khair agar puch hi liya hai, to kya batayen, koi andaz hi nahi rahi.

Bata to denge hum, par koi kyun sunega,
Khair agar sun hi liya hai, to sun ke bhi kya samjhega.

Baatein to bohot hain, gar koi sunna chahe to,Par kaun sunne ke liye baitha rahe?
Khair agar baith hi gaya **, to ek be-kafan lash ka,Nazm-e-ashk bhi sun ke jao.

Ro to nahi rahe the hum, wo kam to apna lafz kar raha tha,
Achanak wo rabab yaad agayi, jis pe khuda nach raha tha.

Hum to baithe the, ab khare ** gaye,
Na jaane apna rone ki awaaz, us mehfil ko kharab na karde.

Ab mai chal raha hoon, kahi aur jaa raha hoon,
Kidhar jaa raha hoon, utna nahi pata,
Bas rabab se dur chala jaun,
Nayi mehfil sajane, udhar firse nazm-e-ashk bhi suna na hai.
