1-āshiq ko dekhte haiñ dupaTTe ko taan kar
dete haiñ ham ko sharbat-e-dīdār chhān kar
Glance beloved’s glimpse through her veil
She lets her seen through strainer of her veil
…..
2-‘anīs’ āsāñ nahīñ ābād karnā ghar mohabbat kā
ye un kā kaam hai jo zindagī barbād karte haiñ
Anis, it’s not easy making a cherished home
The ones having no guts make such a home
…..
3-‘anīs’ dam kā bharosā nahīñ Thahar jaao
charāġh le ke kahāñ sāmne havā ke chale
Anis, hold on! No surety of a single breath
Why go in front of strong wind and hearth
…….
4-ashk-e-ġham diida-e-pur-nam se sambhāle na ga.e
ye vo bachche hai jo maañ baap se paale na ga.e
Flowing tears of gloom can’t be controlled
Like rebellious kids! Parents fail to control
………………..
5-gul-dasta-e-ma.ānī ko na.e Dhañg se bāñdhūñ
ik phuul kā mazmūñ ho to sau rañg se bāñdhūñ
Give new meanings to bouquet of poetry
As each verse is myriad of bouquet poetry
……………………….
6-karīm jo tujhe denā hai be-talab de de
faqīr huuñ pa nahīñ aadat-e-savāl mujhe
O the most Kind! Give me without me pleading
Though I’m a meek beggar, I dislike beseeching
…………………..
7-lagā rahā huuñ mazāmīn-e-nau ke phir ambār
ḳhabar karo mere ḳhirman ke ḳhoshā-chīnoñ
Again I’m composing loads of new themes
Let know planter of harvest and my theme
……………
8-tamām umr jo kī ham se be-ruḳhī sab ne
kafan meñ ham bhī azīzoñ se muñh chhupā ke chale
As I was ignored all throughout my life
Thus I’m wrapped in shroud leaving life
The death itself brought news of life for me
I’m a vanishing lamp, death is infinity for me
No one pleased me and brought joy in my life
Why weep now, when I no longer breathe life
I’m curbed to a corner engulfed in my distress
Almighty nurtures me in my bliss and distress
O the pious worshiper! Garden of Eden for you
Hence being a sinner; woe of hell for me though
I would lighten as a candle if flourished brightly
But the ambiance wasn’t in my support actually
Every heart and soul wishes for the same for me
If the mortal turns to dust, it’ll be infinity for me
Mortal has magnetic charm towards dust Anis
Karbala is for me! I’ve to bear it with endurance
…………………………….
ḳhud naved-e-zindagī laa.ī qazā mere liye
sham-e-kushta huuñ fanā meñ hai baqā mere liye
zindagī meñ to na ik dam ḳhush kiyā hañs bol kar
aaj kyuuñ rote haiñ mere āshnā mere liye
kunj-e-uzlat meñ misāl-e-āsiyā huuñ gosha-gīr
rizq pahuñchātā hai ghar baiThe ḳhudā mere liye
tū sarāpā ajr ai zāhid maiñ sar-tā-pā gunāh
bāġh-e-jannat terī ḳhātir karbalā mere liye
naam raushan kar k kyūñkar bujh na jaatā misl-e-sham.a
nā-muvāfiq thī zamāne kī havā mere liye
har nafas ā.īna-e-dil se ye aatī hai sadā
ḳhaak tū ho jā to hāsil ho jilā mere liye
ḳhaak se hai ḳhaak ko ulfat taḌaptā huuñ ‘anīs’
karbalā ke vāste maiñ karbalā mere liye
Alluring evening and lovely ambiance
Is absorbed in thy attire’s fragrance!
And my stimulating heavenly dream
Is just a number of moments’ stream!
A star will rise in a while on the horizon
Will remind you from the sky and horizon
Of some undo chore, old memory, a tale
Echo of a memory, a dream, untold tale
We ought to have met somewhere
In the land of appealing dreams
Or in good realm of time’s theme
In skies, on some land, in heavens
We ought to have met therein
…………………………….
yay haseen shaam apni
abhi jiss meiN ghul rahi hai
teray parahan kee khushboo
abhi jiss meiN khil rahay heiN
meray khawab kay shagoofay
zera dair ka hai manzar
zera dair meiN ufq par
khilay ga koi sitaara
teri simt daik kar woh
karay ga koi ishara
teray dil ko aayay ga phir
kissi yaad ka bullawa
koi qissa-ay judaaee, koi kaar-ay naamukamal
koi khawab-ay naa shagufta, koi baat kehnay wali
humeiN chaahiyay tha milna
kissi ahad-ay mehrbaaN meiN
kissi khawab kay yaqeeN meiN
kissi aur aasmaaN par
kissi aur sarzameeN meiN
humeiN chahiyay tha milna…

Our relation has spread all over in ambiance
He treated me chivalrously like I’m fragrance
How can I speak out that he has deserted me
It is but true! It’s disgraceful for pride and me
Whenever deserted and went away from me
What I regard as; he always came back to me
May you be over the moon and calm forever!
May you not undergo loneliness like me, ever!
When he put his hand on my searing forehead
I felt my soul in peace by his touch on forehead
Body aches even now in monsoon rain at night
The longing to stretch out self is more at night

kū-ba-kū phail ga.ī baat shanāsā.ī kī
us ne ḳhushbū kī tarah merī pazīrā.ī kī
kaise kah duuñ ki mujhe chhoḌ diyā hai us ne
baat to sach hai magar baat hai rusvā.ī kī
vo kahīñ bhī gayā lauTā to mire paas aayā
bas yahī baat hai achchhī mire harjā.ī kī
terā pahlū tire dil kī tarah ābād rahe
tujh pe guzre na qayāmat shab-e-tanhā.ī kī
us ne jaltī huī peshānī pe jab haath rakhā
ruuh tak aa ga.ī tāsīr masīhā.ī kī
ab bhī barsāt kī rātoñ meñ badan TūTtā hai
jaag uThtī haiñ ajab ḳhvāhisheñ añgḌā.ī kī
Which sky does GOD live!

WHICH SKY DOES GOD LIVE!
Often in news papers
When I see the blood tinges dancing in words
Early in the morning——-can’t resist to ponder
Which sky does God Live?
I ask myself
I ask everyone
A deep silence
Mocks me
But today——
Seeing so many flowers laid in coffins
I realized dripping of blood’s worth —–
Blossoming roses and their dearth
A nightingale’s melancholy chant
A cuckoo’s disheartening chant
I realized then———
Which sky the God lives
Now I don’t ask any one
Which sky does God live
What do I have except attire of dust on me!
Nothing left except ashes of fiery urn in me!
The city of the thin minded ignorant people
Prostrate with no awareness; ignorant people
All dome and minaret and pulpit and arches
Nothing but under religious chiefs’ rein, are
All uncovered heads, believe out of ignorance
They’re in fallacy being sheltered below heavens
Their entire life’s success is blessings of Almighty
Is but living in ecstasy! No approval of Almighty
My belief to know myself and the world around
Is but sham, ignorance and mistake all abound
My concern and worry about the world around
Is nothing but to be notable eminent around!

Couldn’t tell my upsetting feelings to her
So badly ruined; couldn’t clarify to her
Forgot to deem the lot in ardor and love
What I failed to ignore is her zeal and love
My tears failed to drench the fire of love
Couldn’t lessen fire she lighted, of her love
Whoever sees her loveliness and brilliance?
Fails to spoil her virtue, beauty and brilliance
How can wind blow my dust of her doorstep?
When she failed to let me go of her doorstep
………….
dāstān-e-ġham-e-dil un ko sunā.ī na ga.ī
baat bigḌī thī kuchh aisī ki banā.ī na ga.ī
sab ko ham bhuul ga.e josh-e-junūñ meñ lekin
ik tirī yaad thī aisī jo bhulā.ī na ga.ī
ishq par kuchh na chalā dīda-e-tar kā qaabū
us ne jo aag lagā dī vo bujhā.ī na ga.ī
paḌ gayā husn-e-ruḳh-e-yār kā partav jis par
ḳhaak meñ mil ke bhī is dil kī safā.ī na ga.ī
kyā uThā.egī sabā ḳhaak mirī us dar se
ye qayāmat to ḳhud un se bhī uThā.ī na ga.ī
blessings for all
