Adu-E-Bad-Guman Ki Dastan Kuchh Aur Kahi Hai

Sahir Hoshiyarpuri

adu-e-bad-guman ki dastan kuchh aur kahti hai

magar teri nigah-e-ḳhush-bayan kuchh aur kahti hai

ḳhizan ke dam se apni ḳhush-dili ka hai bharam varna

bahar aate hi yad-e-ashiyan kuchh aur kahti hai

suno dil se to phir har naghma-e-ishrat ke parde men

alam ki dastan-e-ḳhun-chakan kuchh aur kahti hai

nazar un ki zaban un ki ta.ajjub hai ki is par bhi

nazar kuchh aur kahti hai zaban kuchh aur kahti hai

hazar andaz se ahl-e-havas ab daam phaila.en

nava-e-ta.ir-e-arsh ashiyan kuchh aur kahti hai

tire lutf-o-karam ka mo’tarif hai ik jahan lekin

kisi majbur-e-gham ki dastan kuchh aur kahti hai

ḳhusha teri nazar ka imtiyaz-e-jalvat-o-ḳhalvat

vahan kuchh aur kahti thi yahan kuchh aur kahti hai

gulistan men bahar-e-gul-fashan aane se kya hasil

ki mustaqbil ki tasvir-e-ḳhizan kuchh aur kahti hai

vo mere haal par ‘sahir’ kabhi jo muskurate hain

to dil se apni sa.i-e-ra.egan kuchh aur kahti hai
