Ahd-E-Mayusi Jahan Tak Sazgar Aata Gaya

Shaad Aarfi

ahd-e-mayusi jahan tak sazgar aata gaya

apne-ape men dil-e-be-iḳhtiyar aata gaya

kuchh sukun kuchh zabt kuchh rang-e-qarar aata gaya

al-gharaz iḳhfa-e-raz-e-qurb-e-yar aata gaya

uḌte uḌte us ke aane ki ḳhabar milti rahi

baal khole muzhda-e-gesu-e-yar aata gaya

rafta rafta meri al-gharzi asar karti rahi

meri be-parva.iyon par us ko pyaar aata gaya

jasta jasta lahlahaya gulshan-e-zaḳhm-e-jigar

rafta rafta dasta-e-gul par nikhar aata gaya

niind ankhon men magar aati ga.i uḌti ga.i

dosh-e-nik.hat par payam-e-zulf-e-yar aata gaya

us ne jis had tak bhi ham se dastan-e-gham suni

ham ko is nisbat se fan-e-iḳhtisar aata gaya

ghaliban ye bhi hai meri kamyabi ka sabab

apni nakami pe ghussa baar baar aata gaya

un men shamil muskurate phuul bhi taare bhi hain

jin darichon se shu.ur-e-husn-e-yar aata gaya

aage aage ashiyane ḳhar-o-ḳhas chunte chale

pichhe pichhe taḳht-e-ta.us-e-bahar aata gaya

is qadar nazdik-tar aati rahi qadmon ki chaap

jis qadar ḳhadsha ḳhilaf-e-intizar aata gaya

us ke ruj.han-e-nazar men dilkashi paate hue

e’tibar-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahar aata gaya

rang la.egi hamari tang-dasti ek din

misl-e-ghalib ‘shad’ gar sab kuchh udhar aata gaya
