Ab ke tajdid-e-vafa ka nahi imkan janan – Ahmed Faraz

ab ke tajdid-e-vafa ka nahi imkan janan
yaad kya tujh ko dilayen tera paiman janan

yun hi mausam ke ada dekh ke yaad aaya hai
kis qadar jald badal jate hain insan janan
zindagi teri ata thi so tere naam ke hai
hum ne jaise bhi basar ke tera ehasan janan

dil ye kehta hai ki shayad ho fasurda tu bhi
dil ke kya bat karen dil to hai nadan janan

avval-avval ke muhabbat ke nashe yaad to kar
bepiye bhi tera chehara tha gulistan janan

aakhir aakhir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahi
rag-e-mina sulag uthi ki rag-e-jan janan

muddaton se ye aalam na tavaqqo na umeed
dil pukare hi chala jata hai janan janan

hum bhi kya sada the hum ne bhi samajh rakha tha
gam-e-dauran se juda hai gam-e-janan janan

ab ke kuch aisi saji mahafil-e-yaran janan
sar-ba-zanu hai koi sar-ba-gireban janan

har koi apni hi aavaz se kanp uthta hai
har koi apne hi saye se hirasan janan

jis ko dekho wohi zanjir-ba-pa lagata hai
shahar ka shahar hua dakhil-e-zindan janan

ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi gazal mein aaye
aur se aur hua dard ka unvan janan

hum ki ruthi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the
hum ne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijran janan

hosh aaya to sabhi khwab the reza-reza
jaise udate huye auraq-e-pareshan janan

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam :Ahmed Faraz

Ye Jo Furqaton K Azab Hai

Ye Jo Furqaton K Azab Hai
Ye Mohabaton K Jawab Hain
Ye Wisaal O Wasl ,Ye Qurbaten
Ye To Kuch Nahi, Ye To Khwab Hain
,
Ye Jo Ishq Hum Ne Kia Sanam
Ye Muje To Raas Na Aa Ska
K Muje To Hijr Ka Gham Mila
Tese Aas Pas Gulab Hain
,
Ye Ajeeb Rasm E Jahaan Hai
Ye Bra Ajeeb Asool Hai
K Jo Shay Bhi Qabil E Deed Hai
Osi Shay Pe So So Naqaab Hain
,
Meri Saans Se Bhi Qreeb Tar
Muje Jaan Se Bhi Aziz Tar
Thay Jo Log, Dil Nahi Manta
Aey ‘Ali’ Wo Aik Saraab Hain

May The Festival Of Lights

May the festival of lights be the harbinger
of joy and prosperity. As the holy occasion of
Ramadan is here and the atmosphere is
filled with the spirit of love
here is hoping this festival of beauty brings
your way, bright sparkles of contentment,
that stay with you through the days ahead

Sachi Dosti

Jisney Chand ki roshni nahi dekhi.
jisney pholon ki tazgi nahi dekhi.
jo ye kehte hain k mitt jati hai dooriyon se dosti.
Usney shayad hamari dosti nahi dekhi.

A Wife After Waking Up

A wife after waking up from her sleep on Valentines day,
I just had a dream that you bought me a diamond necklace.
Husband: Go back to sleep and wear it.
Happy Valentines day!

Aasaniyan peda

Tumhari Duaaon Se Shayad Ho Jayn Mere Liye Aasaniyan Peda,

Bas Yehi Soch Kar Mujhe Apni Har Dua Mein Yaad Rakhna

Garmi-e-shauq-e-nazzara ka asar to dekho

garmi-e-shauq-e-nazzara ka asar to dekho
gul khile jate hain wo saya-e-dar to dekho
aise nadan to na the jan se guzaranevale
nasiho, rahabar-o-rahaguzar to dekho
wo to wo hain tumhen ho jayegi ulfat mujhase
ek nazar tum mera mahabub-e-nazar to dekho
wo jo ab chak gareban bhi nahi karte hain
dekhanevalo kabhi un ka jigar to dekho
daman-e-dard ko gulazar bana rakha hai
aao ek din dil-e-purakhun ka hunar to dekho
subah ke tarah jhamakata hai shab-e-gam ka ufaq
“faiz” tabindagi-e-dida-e-tar to dekho
