1 / 21: raah
nikal jaate magar
raah mein phoolon ke lab
sayoon ke gesu aaye
i'd have avoided
your memory and moved on
along the way i came across
lips of flowers, tresses of breezes

ham raah nihaare baithe hain
ab toh akele hi
mehfil sajaaye baithe hain
with memories of my beloved
i wait, watching the street
all alone,
i wait, with my home decorated

taa qayaamat khula hai

is never sealed shut
the door to new expression
remains open till doomsday

beacon in the path of truth

meri khush-bakhti
tamaam umr meri khoj mein
bhaTakti rahi

good fortune, luck
entire, all, whole
life
search
wandering

raah anokhi kholi hai
rang ki gehraayi naapi hai
phool ki khushbu toli hai
for the joy of expression
urdu has crafted a novel path
it gauged the depth of hues
it weighed the fragrance of flowers

intellect to be the guiding light
who knew that passion

dair-o-haram ki khatm hoti hain
wahin par noor-e-imaan hai
wahin raah-e-yaqeen nikli

temples and mosques end
radiance of belief shines forth
the road to conviction begins

you stand there, silently
in the path
to how many will you explain
why you are not going home?

charaagh-e-raah hai

is but an illumination of the path
not the destination

dua kar raha hoon ke manzil na aaye
raah-e-aashiqi ka taqaaza yehi hai ke
kashti chale par saahil na aaye
i found so much joy in the seeking of my desire
i am praying the destination never arrives
the demand of the path of love is just this:
boat keeps sailing, but shore is never reached

jacha hi naheen
jo koo-e-yaar se nikle
to soo-e-dar chale
no station, faiz, seemed
appealing along the way
those who left the beloved's lane
walked straight to the gallows
