kaise ākāsh meñ sūrāḳh nahīñ ho saktā

ek patthar to tabī.at se uchhālo yaaro

kaise aakash mein suraKH nahin ho sakta

ek patthar to tabiat se uchhaalo yaro

mere siine meñ nahīñ to tere siine meñ sahī

ho kahīñ bhī aag lekin aag jalnī chāhiye

mere sine mein nahin to tere sine mein sahi

ho kahin bhi aag lekin aag jalni chahiye

kahāñ to tai thā charāġhāñ har ek ghar ke liye

kahāñ charāġh mayassar nahīñ shahar ke liye

TRANSLATION

It was agreed that each and every house will glow,

For the whole city, there is not a single lamp though.

Sagar Akbarabadi

kahan to tai tha charaghan har ek ghar ke liye

TRANSLATION

tumhāre paaoñ ke nīche koī zamīn nahīñ

sirf hangama khaDa karna mera maqsad nahin

meri koshish hai ki ye surat badalni chahiye

ek aadat ban ga.ī hai

aur aadat kabhī nahīñ jaatī

you are now like a habit to me

and from a habit one, cannot be free

ek aadat si ban gai hai tu

aur aadat kabhi nahin jati

you are now like a habit to me

and from a habit one, cannot be free

ye saarā jism jhuk kar bojh se dohrā huā hogā

lahū-luhān nazāroñ zikr aayā to

yahāñ tak aate aate suukh jaatī hai ka.ī nadiyāñ

mujhe ma.alūm hai paanī kahāñ Thahrā huā hogā

yahan tak aate aate sukh jati hai kai nadiyan

mujhe malum hai pani kahan Thahra hua hoga

ho ga.ī hai piir parvat pighalnī chāhiye

vo ġhazal aap ko sunātā huuñ

main jise oDhta bichhata hun

wo ghazal aap ko sunata hun

vo aadmī nahīñ hai mukammal bayān hai

māthe pe us ke choT gahrā nishān hai

mathe pe us ke choT ka gahra nishan hai

ye log homo-havan meñ yaqīn rakhte haiñ

chalo yahāñ se chaleñ haath jal na jaa.e kahīñ

ek qabristān meñ ghar mil rahā hai

ye ehtiyāt zarūrī hai is bahar ke liye

tera nizam hai sil de zaban-e-shaer ko

ye ehtiyat zaruri hai is bahar ke liye
