1 / 5: Haider Ali Aatish
aadmi kya woh na samjhe
jo sukhan ki qadr ko
nutq ne haivaan se
musht-e-khaak ko insaan kiya
can one truly be human
who does not value speech?
it is the power of speech that turned
a lump of clay of beast into a human

jo dekhte tere
zanjeer-e-zulf ka aalam
asir hone ki
aazaad aarzoo karte
should they see the world of
shackles of your tresses
even free men would
desire to be held hostage

kaaT kar par mutmain
sayyaad beparwah na ho
ruuh bulbul ki
iraada rakhti hai parwaaz ka
having cut the wings
may the hunter not carelessly rest
the soul of the nightingale
is set on flying

fasl-e-bahaar aai
peeyo sufiyo sharaab
bas ho chuki namaaz
musalla uthaaiye
springtime has arrived
mystics…drink some wine
the time for worship has ended
roll up the prayer-carpet
Haider Ali Aatish (5)
wine, liquor, drink
mystics
(muslim) prayers, worship
prayer-carpet

safar hai shart
musaafir nawaaz bahutere
hazaar ha shajr-e-saaya
daar raah mein hain
journey the only condition
generous companions many
thousands of shady trees
line along the path
