haider ali aatish ki shayyiri

ye aarzu thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte
ham aur bulbul-e-betaab guftgu karte
payaam bar na mayassar hua toh khuub hua
zabaan-e-gaiir se kya shar[mischief] ki aarzu karte
meri tarah se maah-o-mahar bhi hain awara
kisi habiib ko ye bhi hain justju karte
jo dekhte teri zanjiir-e-zulf ka aalam
asiir hone ke aazad aarzu karte
na puuch aalam-e-bargashta[turn around/against] taali-e-‘aatish’[burning fate]
barsati aag mein jo baaraan rain] ki aarzu karte

haider ali aatish ki shayyiri

yaar ko maine mujhe yaar ne sone na diya
raat bhar taali'-e-bedaar[good fortune] ne sone na diya
ek shab bulbul-e-betaab ke jaage na naseeb
pehlu-e-gul mein kabhi khaar ne sone na diya
raat bhar ki dil-e-betaab ne baaten mujhse
mujhko iss ishq ke biimaar ne sone na diya

haider ali aatish ki shayyiri

sun toh sahi jahan mein hai tera fasana kya
kehti hai tujhse khalq-e-khuda gaibana kya
ziina saba ka dhundhati hai apni musht-e-khaak
baam-e-baland yaar ka hai aastana kya
aati hai kis tarah se meri kabz-e-ruuh ko
dekhun toh maut dhundh rahi hai bahana kya
betaab hai kamal hamara dil-e-azeem
mehman saaraye-e-jism ka hoga ravaana kya

tadapte hain na rote hain na ham fariyad karate hain
sanam ki yaad mein hardam khuda ko yaad karate hain
unhiin ke ishq mein ham naalaa-o-fariyad karte hain
ilaahiidekhiye kis din hamen vo yaad karte hain
shab-e-furqat mein kya kya saanp lehrate hain seene par
tumhari kaakul-e-pechan ko jab ham yaad karate hain

ae sanam jis ne tujhe chaand ki surat di hai
ussi allah ne mujhko bhi muhbbat di hai
tegh be-aab hai na baazuu-e-qaatil kamzor
kuch giraan jaani hai, kuch maut ne fursat di hai
furqat-e-yaar mein roa-roa ke basar karta hun
zindgani mujhe kya dil hai, museebat di hai
josh paida kiye sun'ne ko tera zikr-e-jamaal
dekhne ko teri aankhon mein basaarat di hai
kamar-e-yaar ke mazmuun ko baandho 'aatish'
zulf-e-khuuban sii meri tumko tabiyat di hai

tadapte hain na rote hain na hum fariyaad karte hain
sanam ki yaad mein har-dum khuda ko yaad karte hain
unhin ke ishq mein hum naala[loud wailing]-o-fariyaad karte hain
ilaahi dekhiye kis din hamen vo yaad karte hain
shab-e-furqat mein kya kya saanp lehrate hain seene par
tumhari kaakul-e-pechaan[curly hair] ko jab hum yaad karte hain
