Ajab Hai Rang-E-Chaman Ja-Ba-Ja Udasi Hai

Irfan Sattar

ajab hai rang-e-chaman ja-ba-ja udasi hai

mahak udasi hai bad-e-saba udasi hai

nahin nahin ye bhala kis ne kah diya tum se

men Thik-Thak huun haan bas zara udasi hai

main mubtala kabhi hota nahin udasi men

main vo huun jis men ki ḳhud mubtala udasi hai

tabib ne koi tafsil to bata.i nahin

bahut jo puchha to itna kaha udasi hai

gudaz qalb ḳhushi se bhala kisi ko mila

aziim vasf hi insan ka udasi hai

shadid dard ki ru hai ravan rag-e-jan men

bala ka ranj hai be-intiha udasi hai

firaq men bhi udasi baḌe kamal ki thi

pas-e-visal to is se siva udasi hai

tumhen mile jo ḳhazane tumhen mubarak hon

miri kama.i to ye be-baha udasi hai

chhupa rahi ho magar chhup nahin rahi miri jaan

jhalak rahi hai jo zer-e-qaba udasi hai

mujhe masa.il-e-kaun-o-makan se kya matlab

mira to sab se baḌa mas.ala udasi hai

falak hai sar pe udasi ki tarah phaila hua

zamin nahin hai mire zer-e-pa udasi hai

ghazal ke bhes men aa.i hai aaj mahram-e-dard

suḳhan ki oḌhe hue hai rida udasi hai

ajiib tarah ki halat hai meri be-ahval

ajiib tarah ki be majra udasi hai

vo kaif-e-hijr men ab ghaliban sharik nahin

ka.i dinon se bahut be-maza udasi hai

vo kah rahe the ki sha.ir ghazab ka hai ‘irfan’

har ek sher men kya gham hai kya udasi hai
