An Autumnal ghazal (haath mein hijr ki kitaab…)

 

 

 

 

Rastay  manzilen  sarab  aur   dil
kitne be-rooh murda khoab aur dil
 
lams ke haath kitne   yakh  – basta
sard- muhri  ke kitne baab aur   dil
 
jaan -kani hai ya  zeest  karna  hai
dharkanon ka mehaz azaab aur dil
 
yaad ke dhundlake mein jeene do!
Bhool jane ka  iztarab  aur     dil
 
raah mein aagahi  ke  sang-reze
haath mein hijr  ki  kitaab aur dil

Jahanunma

  1. Very nice … I wonder why you don’t blog in urdu?

  2. Beautiful poem & what a match with pictures narrating sadness of one’s heart that how darkness of “Judaai” prevails over one’s heart.

  3. Asma: many thanks. I have to upgrade my skills before I venture into Urdu blogging):

    Jugnoo: thanks for liking the poem – and of course I discovered the pictures through your amazing blog.
