1-har ek baat pe kahate ho tum ki tuu kyaa hai
tumhii.n kaho ke ye a.ndaaz-e-guftaguu kyaa hai
Everything that I say; you disapprove of my being
Tell me is this thy approach to disrespect my being
*****
2-jaan tum par nisaar karataa huu.N
mai.n nahii.n jaanataa duaa kyaa hai
I surrender my whole subsistence to you
I’m unaware of pray; I only know you—
*****
3. mai.n ne maanaa ki kuchh nahii.n ‘Ghalib’
muft haath aaye to buraa kyaa hai ?
I’m know very well, that I’m nothing Ghalib
So what’s the problem if you easily get me?
*****
4. Ghalib sharab peene do Masjid mein baith kar
Ya woh jagah batao jaha khuda nahi.
Ghalib let me rejoice wine in the mosque
Or, show the place where there’s no God
*****
5. Phir dekhiyen andaz-e-gul afshaani-e-guftar;
rakh de koyi paimaan-e-saiba mere aage
Lets again enjoy her blossoming conversation
Someone put a wine chalice for my mediation
******
6. “Ragon mein daudte phirne ke hum nahi qaael,
Jab aankh hi se na tapka to phir lahoo kya hai ”
I don’t believe blood flowing in veins is of any worth
Unless eyes shed woe as blood tears! It’s worth

واں تُو ہے زرد پوش یہاں میں ہوں زرد رنگ
واں تیرے گھر بسنت ہے یاں میرے گھر بسنت

You’re clothed in yellow there I put on yellow here
You’ve basant in thy home; I’ve basant in home here

اک ہمیں خار تھے آنکھوں میں سبھی کے سو چلے
بلبلو خوش رہو اب تم گل و گلزار کے ساتھ
I was the only thorn in the eyes of all, so gone
Nightingales! Rejoice with flowers in the garden

اگر کہیں تو کسی کو نہ اعتبار آوے
کہ ہم کو راہ میں اک آشنا نے لوٹ لیا
Nobody would accept as true if I say
That someone looted me on the way

اُنگلیاں اٹھے لگیں دستِ حنائی پہ ترے
رنگ لائے گا ابھی خونِ شہیداں کیا کیا
Fingers point at thy henna adorned hands
More admirers will dispute on thy hands

اے دل تمام نفع ہے سودائے عشق میں
اک جان کا زیاں ہے سو ایسا زیاں نہیں
O dear heart! Love is a dealing of profit only
Failure if any; is nothing but loss of life only
آزردہؔ

07۔
بال و پر بھی گئے بہار کے ساتھ
اب توقع نہیں رہائی کی
Loveliness and vitality gone with spring
No hope left to recover verve with spring

08۔
بے عذر وہ کر لیتے ہیں وعدہ یہ سمجھ کر
یہ اہلِ مروت ہیں تقاضا نہ کریں گے
They make promises without any reason
Being balanced, they’ll never ask reason

09۔
بلایا موت کو برسوں میں التجا کر کے
خدا کے پاس چلا ہوں خدا خدا کر کے
Requested demise for ages to to engulf me
Now going to God; after appeals to engulf me
بیخود دہلوی۔

چمن سے دور رہا اس قدر قفس میرا
کہ پہنچی اُڑ کے نہ مجھ تک گلِ چمن کی بُو
My cage was so faraway from the garden
Fragrance failed to get to me from garden

Those who you are close to and cherished
Are the ones fortunate and privileged!
When someone falls in love with anyone
It’s like fatality following that someone
Meeting me? And that too; to meet you!
Is beyond realism; to have met you
Those who bear torture with not a sigh
Are weird men with a heart and no sigh?
In love relations, nothing at all is achieved
Merely distress and only sorrows achieved
Who knows the worth and value of Nuh
Nowhere is found a literary being like him

NUH NARVI
aap jin ke qarīb hote haiñ
vo baḌe ḳhush-nasīb hote haiñ
jab tabī.at kisī par aatī hai
maut ke din qarīb hote haiñ
mujh se milnā phir aap kā milnā
aap kis ko nasīb hote haiñ
zulm sah kar jo uf nahīñ karte
un ke dil bhī ajiib hote haiñ
ishq meñ aur kuchh nahīñ miltā
saikḌoñ ġham nasīb hote haiñ

O, my wishful heart I can reach anything I desire
Two steps I take; the destination itself will appear
My yearning heart, I proceed to her party though
Do aware me when the party is at its elevation so
0 divine being! I’m ready to go but do remember
Misguide me the time the destination is close to
You may remember me; you may as well call me
If you come across any obstacle in lane of love
Why seek for love’s look; let it be odium of love
My gloom’s yen! I wish agony gone agony come
I seek an advice about my heart’s wish from you
What should I do when I fall in love with you?
O holy light flash and flush; you guess me Moses
I’m not mount Siena to afire; no issue who comes
Let the cyclone come; ships boatsman will save it
Not likely for coast to float with waves to save it

My beloved, don’t ask me for love we shared before
I assumed that life’s brilliant as long as you’re there
Thy gloom is there; why bother gloom of the world
Your beauty is sustenance of splendor of the world
There’s no reality of anything than your divine eyes
Should you be with me, fate would turn to elation
It occurs not, it was plainly my assumption
Countless of sufferings there besides love
Endless of delights there than lover’s reunion
Countless dark magic effects extended to eras
Draped in silk and velvet and brocade and satin
Vanity and timidity for sale hither and thither
Soaked in the dust and wet in blood hearts
Bodies suffering from of diseases and infection
The mucus flowing of ulcers and sore infection
My eyes detain that sight too; what can I do
Thy loveliness is charismatic; but what to do
My beloved, don’t ask me for the love shared before
I assumed that life’s brilliant as long as you’re there

Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
Maine samjhaa tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat
Tera gham hai to gham-e-dehar ka jhagdaa kyaa hai
Teri surat se hai aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat
Teri aankhon ke siwaa duniyaa mein rakhkhaa kya hai
Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdir nigoon ho jaaye
Yoon na thaa maine faqat chaahaa thaa yoon ho jaaye
Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siwaa
Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa
Anginat sadiyon ki taareeq bahemaanaa tilism
Resham-o-atlas-o-kamkhwaab mein bunvaaye hue
Ja-ba-ja bikte hue koochaa-o-baazaar mein jism
Khaak mein lithade hue, khoon mein nehlaaye hue
Jism nikle hue amraaz ke tannooron se
Peep behti hui galte hue naasooron se
Laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar, kya keeje?
Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn, magar kya keeje?
Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siwaa
Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
Spring breeze is filled with flowers’ fragrance
Come love; let garden carry on its business
O friends! The birdcage is in plight
Ask the gentle wind to be a delight
Request the Lord to cherish my beloved
To speak of, and relish my beloved
Wish the dawn emerges from thy leer
And the dusk emits fragrance of thy hair
The heart isn’t affluent, but agony is bighearted
The dreary still be there to cheer you as bighearted
What anguish we went through is thereafter
Sundering night and tears adorn thy hereafter
I couldn’t resist my fervor in thy presence, love
I tied up shirt in a knot; tore collar to threads, love
No place fascinated Faiz on his way
Going away from his beloved’s home
To the gallows way

Gulon mein rang bhare baad-e-naubahaar chale
Chale bhi aao ke gulshan ka kaarobaar chale
Qafas udaas hai yaaro sabaa se kuchh to kaho
Kahin to bahr-e-khudaa aaj zikr-e-yaar chale
Kabhi to subah tere kunj-e-lab se ho aaghaaz
Kabhi to shab sar-e-kaakul se mushkbaar chale
Bara hai dard ka rishta yeh dil gharib sahi
Tumhare naam pe aaenge ghamguzaar chale
Jo hum pe guzri so guzri magar shab-e-hijraan
Hamaare ashk teri aaqibat sanwaar chale
Huzoor-e-yaar hui daftar-e-junoon ki talab
Girah mein leke girebaan ka taat taar chale
Maqaam Faiz koi raah mein jacha hi nahin
Jo ku-e-yaar se nikle to su-e-daar chale
You float like news in the air

You float more or less like news in the air
Like a broken feather lay on the seashore
There no hustle and bustle of life around
My being there is like an isolated abode
You’re unsure destination of my endeavor
My being is like a lonely path of endeavor
My human is dwindling with every moment
Like withered leaves fall in autumn season
She’s akin to word of gloom and dark night
I’m like a pulsating and apparent first light
Just feel what will people say of you Shamim
You’re living in world of news but oblivious

Fiza me tairtay rahtay ho tum khabar ki tarah
Mai ik kinaaray pada hu shikasta par ki tarah
Chahal pahal nahi koi na zindagi ka nishaN
Mera wujood hai tanha udaas ghar ki tarah
Tu aik manzil-e-mohuum justjoo mai teri
Mera wujuud hai sunsaan rahguzar ki tarah
Har aik lamha har ik pal bikhar raha hia wujuud
khizaaN ki dhuup me jhadtay huwe shajar ki tarah
wo aik lafz saraapa hai raat ki suurat
ham aik maani-e-beparda haiN sehar ki tarah
tumhiiN kaho ki tumhaiN log kya kahengay ‘Shamim’
khabar ki dunya me rahte ho bekhabar ki tarah

Rainy Season
Posted on: November 18, 2017
Remembering you in rainy season
Is my all time habit of rainy season!
Thinking to change habit in this rainy season
But downpour won’t stop by changing habits
To remember you, to miss you in rainy season
Is akin to breathing life
Breathing is verve and a sign of life
blessings for all
