Urdu shayari in english



The old mill long had closed its doors
the rotting wheel would turn no more
no grain to grind, no country stores
where old men sat, told stories, swore…


And rocks that formed the waterfall
became the playground for us all
on summer days, it beckoned, called
beneath the old mill’s rotting walls….


The chill of water, mountain-fed
awakened spirits, long since dead
where millers’ children once were fed
on banks upon which lovers wed.


And yet i hear the echoes still
where laughter of the children filled
those rotting walls upon the hill
‘twas once the home to Freeman’s Mil




Mein gurez kya karta us ke sath chalne se,
Zakham to nahin bharta raaste badalne se,


Ishrat shabana to yaar ki razaa se hai,
Yeh khushi nahin milti sirf sham dhalne se,


Aarzuu ki chingaari kab tak sulag sakti,
Bujh gaya hai dil akhir bar bar jalne se,


Zindagi ka har mohra be-rukhi ke rukh par hai,
Yeh bisaat ultey gi aik chaal chalne se,


Doobta hua suraj kya mujhe ujaaley ga,
Main chamak uthoon shayed chand ke nikalne se.



Wo ek masoom si chahat


Wo ek benam si ulfat


Wo meri zaat ka hissa


Wo meri zeest ka qissa


Mujhe mehsus hota hy


Wo mery pas hy ab b


Wo jub jub yad ata hy


Nigahon may samata hy


Zuban khamosh hoti hy


Magr ye ankh roti hy


Mein khud se poch leta hon
