1/9: gul

yuun tasavvur men khile gul hain

teri baat ke baad

jaise gulshan mein nikhar jaaye

faza raat ke baad

after you speak

flowers bloom in my imagination

just as the garden brightens

after the night has passed

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

2/9: gul

main baagh mein huun

talib-e-deedar kisi ka

gul par hai nazar

dhyaan mein rukhsar kisi ka

i am in the garden

longing for someone's sight

my gaze is on the flower

but someone's face in my focus

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

3/9: gul

bazm-e-adab-e-hind ke

har gul mein hai khushbu

mulla, gul-e-urdu ki mehak

aur hi kuchh hai

every flower of indian literature

has a wonderful scent

but the fragrance of urdu, mulla,

is something else

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

4/9: gul

uD jaaunga bahaar mein

maanind-e-bu-e-gul

zanjeer mere paa-e-junoon mein

hazaar Daal

i will fly away in spring

like the fragrance of flowers

even if you shackle my feet of passion

with a thousand chains

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

5/9: gul

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)

6/9: gul

pattaa-pattaa buutaa-buutaa

haal hamaara jaane hai

jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane

baagh to saara jaane hai

every leaf, every plant

knows my feelings

the whole garden knows them

even if the flower doesn't

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

7/9: gul

mastaana saath mere

roti phire hai bulbul

gul se jo dil lagaa hai

abtar hai haal us ka

drunk and free, the nightingale

cries and roams around with me

with the heart set on the flower

and in a wretched, broken state

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

8/9: gul

gul par kya kuchh

beet gayi hai

albela jhonka

kya jaane

what all has

happened to the flower

what does the

carefree gust (of wind) know

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

9/9: gul

gul ghunche aftaab

shafaq chaand kahkashaan

aisi koi bhi cheez nahin

jis mein tu na ho

flowers, buds, the sun

the twilight, the moon, the galaxy

is there anything at all

in which you are not there
