Sher of Ahmad Ata
ham ne avval to kabhī us ko pukārā hī nahīñ
aur pukārā to pukārā bhī sadāoñ ke baġhair
hum ne awwal to kabhi us ko pukara hi nahin
aur pukara to pukara bhi sadaon ke baghair
ye jo rātoñ ko mujhe ḳhvāb nahīñ aate 'atā'
is kā matlab hai mirā yaar ḳhafā hai mujh se
ye jo raaton ko mujhe KHwab nahin aate 'ata'
is ka matlab hai mera yar KHafa hai mujh se
zindagī ḳhvāb hai aur ḳhvāb bhī aisā ki miyāñ
sochte rahiye ki is ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr hai kyā
zindagi KHwab hai aur KHwab bhi aisa ki miyan
sochte rahiye ki is KHwab ki tabir hai kya
saḌak pe baiTh ga.e dekhte hue duniyā
aur aise tark huī ek ḳhud-kushī ham se
saDak pe baiTh gae dekhte hue duniya
aur aise tark hui ek KHud-kushi hum se

hanste hanste ho gaya barbaad main
KHush-dili aisi bhi hoti hai bhala

aaj dekhā hai use aisī mohabbat se 'atā'
vo yahī bhuul gayā us ko kahīñ jaanā thā
aaj dekha hai use aisi mohabbat se 'ata'
wo yahi bhul gaya us ko kahin jaana tha
ye tirā hijr atā dard atā karb atā
ab 'atā' kaise jiye terī atāoñ ke baġhair
ye tera hijr ata dard ata karb ata
ab 'ata' kaise jiye teri ataon ke baghair
ham bahakte hue aate haiñ tire darvāze
tere darvāze bahakte hue aate haiñ ham
hum bahakte hue aate hain tere darwaze

us kā badan hai raag sā raag bhī ek aag sā
aag kā mas tabāh-kun raag kā ras tabāh-kun
us ka badan hai rag sa rag bhi ek aag sa
aag ka mas tabah-kun rag ka ras tabah-kun
maiñ us kī ā.ankhoñ ke baare meñ kuchh nahīñ kahtā
ufuq se tā-ba-ufuq ik jahāñ samajh liije
main us ki aaankhon ke bare mein kuchh nahin kahta
ufuq se ta-ba-ufuq ek jahan samajh lije
kyā hue log purāne jinheñ dekhā bhī nahīñ
ai zamāne hameñ tāḳhīr huī aane meñ
kya hue log purane jinhen dekha bhi nahin
ai zamane hamein taKHir hui aane mein

ab yahāñ kaun nikālegā bhalā duudh kī nahr

ab yahan kaun nikalega bhala dudh ki nahr
ishq karta hai tu jaisa bhi hai achchha hai miyan

hum aastan-e-KHuda-e-suKHan pe baiThe the
so kuchh saliqe se ab zindagi tabah karen
ye chādar ek alāmat banī huī thī yahāñ
dar-asl ġham kā libāda bahut zarūrī thā
ye chadar ek alamat bani hui thi yahan
dar-asl gham ka libaada bahut zaruri tha

aa ga.ī mujh meñ kahīñ se be-dimāġhī 'mīr' kī
main to miTTi ho raha tha ishq mein lekin 'ata'
