Whom have I envision, what’s the matter
My heartstrings tinkle, what’s the matter
God! My love’s nowhere to be found now
What lure is there for me in Thy world now
Something pinching and stirring my heart
What’s the remedy for this feeling in my heart?
Lovely angels granted to all virtuous beings
Nothing’s there in Heavens for a sinner being!
To breathe and be alive in time of her youth
How spirited to be alive in her time of youth
No medicine will work; it’s time to pray now
No ray of life! What’s left in thy lover now?
Remembrance of Luknow hangs on me Akhtar
What more to wish than to visit Luknow, Akhtar

kis ko dekhā hai ye huā kyā hai
dil dhaḌaktā hai mājrā kyā hai
ik mohabbat thī miT chukī yā rab
terī duniyā meñ ab dharā kyā hai
dil meñ letā hai chuTkiyāñ koī
haa.e is dard kī davā kyā hai
hūreñ nekoñ meñ baT chukī hoñgī
bāġh-e-rizvāñ meñ ab rakhā kyā hai
us ke ahd-e-shabāb meñ jiinā
jiine vaalo tumheñ huā kyā hai
ab davā kaisī hai duā kā vaqt
tere bīmār meñ rahā kyā hai
yaad aatā hai lucknow ‘aḳhtar’
ḳhuld ho aa.eñ to burā kyā hai

Nothing as such–nothing significant
What’s out there, beyond the skies?
This sphere is merely insignificant
Life spent in haste and willfulness
What to say of your nothingness
If we aren’t residents of this place
What’s home, what’s rootlessness
What do our eyes envision you as?
How do you in reality look like as?
I’m essence and glory of this world
If I’m gone; what’s there in the world
When delighted; he never was caring
If ever was doubtful will he be caring
A drop of my blood is more splendid
Ember and beer fail to be so splendid
Is all fine with you; how come so kind
Out of the blue and curtly why so kind?
An ardent seen in handful of dust being
It’s startling and unlikely to see the being
You are accountable for my soul’s grief
Your sighs can’t lessen my angst grief
if to achieve goal is not so important
Why fear of loss or gain so important
What’s life and glamour of life Anjum?
What’s beyond and veiled away then
………………………………
کچھ خاص نہیں……بس یونہی کچھ…
آسماں سے پرے جہاں کیا ہے!
دہر کی آنکھ میں نہاں کیا ہے!
رائیگانی ہے عمر بھر کی رفیق!
اور ترے ہجر کا بیاں کیا ہے!
ہم یہاں کے مکیں نہیں ہیں تو پھر!
لامکانی ہے کیا! مکاں کیا ہے!
پردہء چشم پہ_کیا تصویر!
دہر میں اور ترا نشاں کیا ہے!
ہیں جہاں ہم، ہے عالم_اسباب!
ہم نہیں ہیں جہاں، وہاں کیا ہے!
خوش گماں تھا تو مہرباں نہ ہوا!
ہو گیا گر وہ بد گماں، کیا ہے!
صرف اک بوند ہے لہو کی مرے!
آتش و آب_ارغواں کیا ہے!
خیر تو ہے؟ مزاج کیسے ہیں؟
آج یہ لطفِ ناگہاں کیا ہے؟
روح پیوست_پیکر_خاکی!
کس طرح ہے؟ یہ چیستاں کیا ہے؟
قرض ہے راکھ کا مری تم پہ!
دل سے اٹھتا ہوا دھواں کیا ہے!
حاصلِ شوق کچھ نہیں ہے اگر!
سود کیا ہے! تو پھر زیاں کیا ہے!
عالم_رنگ و بو ہے کیا انجم!
اور پس_پردہء جہاں کیا ہے!
The Night

Pain of my mortal body has stayed all night
Who has seen the growing agony of the night?
That one didn’t understand me, this one left me
This depressed me for no reason on and off
Urge to meet you fulfilled my desire though
Don’t know why I feel sad after meeting you
The reality of this world unwrapped facing me
When agony of my fantasy became obvious
Even if I win and he loses, I don’t feel happy
And if I lose I feel I am defeated.
Is there anyone not distressed every day?

Will light up with love—-

Make thou illustrious in love’s world?
My innocent heart, make thou proud;
Thou heart itself insist on, to meet me,
Make thy heart so alluring to meet me;
Life keeps me away from you, otherwise
I’ll get rid of it, if thou are nearby me;
Why feel shy to confess, you love me?
If ever meet me, compel you to confess;
Why live a dull life? O’ you! The beauty!
Come hither! Let me douse you in love;
If thou are here, I, being lost in love will,
Compel the stars to supplicate you;
World is akin to a black hole, beloved,
Just a peg more, I’ll light up the world
Life is dubious otherwise, I promise,
Will light up with love, the world!
There’s no seashore!

Each and every one is lonely in this world
No one care for anyone;
What’s love; what’s loyalty, what’s dreaming of love?
Those who were as one yesterday are not even in image;
All events of life are sham; my shadow is not mine either
Life’s akin a boat; but there’s no mariner;
Who helps the drowning heart in a whirlpool?
There’s no seashore
Is duniyaa me.n sab hai.n akele,
koii kisii kaa nahii.n,
kaisii mohabbat kasii vafaaye.n kaise pyaar ke sapane,
aaj Khayaalo.n me.n bhii nahii.n hai.n saath jo the kal apane,
jhuuThee hai.n sab jag ke mele,
saayaa bhii apanaa nahii.n,
kaaGhaz kii ek naa.Nv hai jiivan koii nahii.n hai maa.Njhii,
biich bhavar me.n kaun banaa hai Duubate man kaa saathii,
kahate hai.n maujo.n ke rele,
koii kinaaraa nahii.n,

on:Keep me intoxicated in Thy love
Keep me away from any felony;
Me a sinner, but wish to be
Engulfed in celestial lighting;
To be known by Thy alliance
Lord,make me that famous;
To be open to Thou eternally,
Keep me veiled from the world
Time may shackle me severely,
Do not make me that helpless;
Benevolence go down the drain
Lord,keep me away from such act!
Urdu composition by Razia Subhan

on:The world is evolving from imperfection to perfection. It needs all love and sympathy; great tenderness and watchfulness are required from each one of us.
Chosen you——!

Chosen you beloved when
The entire world cherished then
I was thine, you were mine
Whom not we confided hence
Death is fatality thus
Life too harassed us
Moon was seated by the side
Why then abolish all lights
Still on her eyes on her veneer,
Bestowed worlds upon her;
In spite of all this Ahmar
In no way she loved me ever
Composed by Ahmar.H.Ahmar
