muflisi aur yeh mazaahir hain
nazar ke saamne
saikdon sultan-e-jaabir hain
nazar ke saamne
poverty, these scenes of destitution
right in front of my eyes
countless emperors of tyranny
right in front of my eyes

ye sochna ghalat hai ke
tum par nazar naheen
masroof hum bahut hain
magar bekhabar naheen
it is wrong to assume
i am not paying attention to you
i am quite busy, but yet
i am not unaware

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

nazar mein duur talak
raahguzar zaroori hai
kisi bhi samt ho
lekin safar zaroori hai
it is important to have a path
that stretches far in sight
no matter which direction
the journey is a must

hum ne paala muddaton pahlu mein
hum koyi nahin
tum ne dekha ek nazar se
dil tumhaara ho gaya
though i nurtured for ages
i wasn’t worth much
you gave it just a glance
and it became yours

le de ke apne paas
faqat ek nazar toh hai
kyun dekhe zindagi ko
kisi ki nazar se hum
all we have
is a viewpoint
why should we see life
from anyone else’s perspective

mere rashk-e-qamar tu ne pehli nazar
jab nazar se milaayi…maza aa gaya
barq si gir gayi kaam hi kar gayi
aag aisi lagaayi…maza aa gaya
oh my envy-of-the-moon…when our
eyes met the first time…’twas thrilling
lightning came down and did its job
it lit a fire such that…’twas so thrilling

9/22: nazar
koyi ummeed bar nahi aati
koyi soorat nazar nahi aati
maut ka ek din muayyin hai
neend kyun raat bhar nahi aati
no hope comes to pass
no face seen anywhere
death has a fixed day to arrive
why then doesn't sleep come all night
Mirza Ghalib

jo tujh mein nahin
tujh ko dekhe
mere nazar se koyi
what is it
that is lacking in you
someone ought to see
you with my eyes

phir nazar me phool mehke
dil me phir shamein jalen
phir tasavvur ne liya
us bazm me jaane ka naam
flowers bloomed in sight again
and, again, my heart lit up
when i imagined again
going to the joyful gathering

jab se mein chala huun
meri manzil pe nazar hai
aankhon ne meri
meel ka patthar nahi dekha
from the time i started walking
my sights were fixed on the goal
my eyes didn’t notice
the milestones along the way

zindagi jab bhi tere
bazm mein laati hai hamen
yeh zameen chaand se behtar
nazar aati hai hamen
when life brings me to
your gathering
this earth looks to me
more beautiful than the moon

vo ek aks ki pal bhar

in my sight for just a moment
now for my entire life
it is a saga for me

usoolon pe jahaan aanch aaye
Takraana zaroori hai

zinda nazar aana zaroori hai
if principles are under attack
it is necessary to fight back
if i am alive
i must act so

zamane mein aaye hai to
jeene ka hunar rakhna
dushmanon se koi khatra nahi
bas apne par nazar rakhna
having arrived in this world
figure out the art of living
there is no danger from enemies
just keep a watch on your dear ones

fareb-e-nazar hai

are but a deception and illusion
every atom of the universe
is endlessly pulsating (for change)

bahut qareeb hai 'muztar'
woh zindagi ka nizaam
nazar na aayega jab
koi bismil-o-qaatil
it is very near, muztar,
that system and order of life
when you will not see
any murderers or victims

kabhi yuun bhi aa meri aankh mein
ki meri nazar ko khabar na ho

magar is ke baad sahar na ho
sometimes, come to my eyes
without my sight knowing
grant me the favor of one night
that doesn’t have a dawn

shiddat-e-tishnagi mein bhi
ghairat-e-maikashi rahi

even in the intensity of thirst
my dignity of drinking remained
when she turned her face away
i too put down my cup
