Chaak Daman Ko Dekha To Mila Eid Ka Chand

Eid Poetry by Saghar Siddiqui

Chaak Daman Ko Dekha To Mila Eid Ka Chand
Apni Tasweer Kahan Bhool Gaya Eid Ka Chand

Chaak = Rift; 

Is Ke Aabrooye Khameda Ki Tarha Teekha Hai
Apni Aankhon Mein Bari Dair Chubha Eid Ka Chand

Aabrooye = Eyebrows; Khameda = Curved; Teekha = Sharp

Door Wairaan Baseeray Mein Diya Ho Jese
Gham Ki Deewar Se Dekha To Laga Eid Ka Chand

Weraan = Isolated; Baseeray = Nest;

Ley Key Halaat Ke Sehraon Mein Aa Jata Hai
Aaj Bhi Khald Ki Rangeen Fiza Eid Ka Chand

Sehraon = Deserts; Khald = Immortalize

Talkhiyan Barh Gayn Jab Zeest Key Pemaany Mein
Ghool Ke Dard Ke Maaron Ney Piya Eid Ka Chand

Talkhiyan  = Bitter; Pemaany = Scale;

Chasm To Wusat-E-Aflaak Mein Khoyi ‘Saghar’
Dil Ne Ik Aur Jaga Dhoond Liya Eid Ka Chand

Wusat = Expand; Aflaak = Heavens; Khoyi = Lost
