Nature, World & Universe
taareef us khuda ki
jis ne jahaan banaayi
kaisi zameen banaayi
kya aasmaan banaayi
praise be to that god
that made this universe
what a wonderful earth she made
and what a stunning sky

basant aayi hai, mauj-e-rang-e-gul hai
josh-e-sahbaa hai
khuda ke fazl se aish-o-tarab ki
ab kami kya hai?
spring is here, tide of colorful blossoms
and wine flowing with zeal
with god's grace, what is left
wanting in the celebration?

par peDon ke kaaT diye
aag ugalti dhoop mein
saaya kahin naheen
which cruel one has cut
the wings of the trees
in this spewing, scorching heat
there is no shade anywhere

kyun kar na lutf
baada-kashi ka ho aab mein
baarish mein jo huroof hain
woh hain sharaab mein
why shouldn't the pleasure
of wine also exist in water?
the expressive intoxication of rain
is also found in wine

in aankhon ne kya kya tamasha
na dekha
haqeeqat mein jo dekhna tha
na dekha
what all fantasies have
these eyes seen
but the reality to be seen in front
that they couldn’t see

raat din gardish mein hain
saath aasmaan
ho rahega kuchh na kuchh
ghabrayen kya
day and night the seven skies
keep rotating and revolving
something or else keeps happening
why be so panicked

jaise sahraaon mein
haule se chale baad-e-nasim
jaise beemar ko

like the gentle breeze
flowing through the deserts
like how the sick

duniya jise kahte hain
jaadu ka khilona hai
mil jaaye toh miTTi hain
kho jaaye toh sona hai
that which is called life
is but a bizarre toy
what we get is dirt
what we lose is gold

pa ke ik tera tabassum
muskuraayi kayenaat
jhoom uTTha vo bhi
dil jeene jo bezaar tha
just one smile from you…
the whole world rejoiced
those hearts, weary of living,
sprung to life to celebrate
smile
smiled
universe
sway, dance
weary, dejected

is seena-e-veeraan mein
khilaaye na kabhi phool
kyon baagh pe itraati rahi
baad-e-saba hai
in this desolate heart
having never bloomed any flowers
why does the fragrant morning breeze
show off in the garden?

band ho jaata hai kuuze mein
kabhi dariya bhi
aur kabhi qatra samundar mein
badal jaata hai
even a river can get
trapped and confined in a jar
and, a drop of water can get
transformed when part of an ocean

jise ishrat-kada-e-dahr
samajhta tha main
aakhir-e-kaar vo
ek khwaab-e-pareshaan nikla
that which i thought was
the pleasure house of the world
at the end, turned out to be
a troubled dream

ghalib chhuTi sharaab
par ab bhi kabhi kabhi

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

bahaaron ki nazar mein
phool aur kaante barabar
mohabbat kya karenge
dost dushman dekhne waale
in the eyes of nature
flowers and thorns are the same
how can one ever love, thinking
in terms of friends and foes

itni shiddat se maine tumhe
paane ki koshish ki hai
ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse
milaane ki saazish ki hai
with so much dedication
did i strive and struggle to win you
that every atom of the universe
conspired to help me achieve it

muddaton mein aaj
dil ne faisla aakhir diya

has given out this judgment
it is a beautiful world, no doubt,
but, it is a lie
