is mausam-e-gul hi se
behke naheen deewaane
saath abr-e-baharaan ke
woh zulf bhi lehraaye
it's not just the season of flowers
that has intoxicated the crazed
along with the spring clouds
her hair fluttered too
Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)
go barasti naheen
sadaa aankhen
abr to baara maas
hota hai
the eyes do not
always shed tears
but the clouds are there
all year long
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
dil ko main muntazir-e-abr-
e-karam kyun rakhun
phool hai qatra-e-shabnam se
bahal jayega
why should i keep my heart
waiting for the clouds of mercy
the flower is satisfied
with a drop of morning dew
Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)
ghalib chhuTi sharaab
par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
peeta hoon
roz-e-abr-o-shab-e-mahtaab mein
ghalib has given up drinking
but, still, once in a while
i enjoy a drink
on cloudy days and moon-filled nights
Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)
mausam-e-abr ho
suboo bhi ho
gul ho, gulshan ho
aur tu bhi ho
the season of clouds
a flask of wine too
the rose, the garden
and you too
