Kawish-E-Rozgar Ne Umr-E-Rawan Ko Kha Liya

Tasneem Abidi

kavish-e-rozgar ne umr-e-ravan ko kha liya

dasht-e-sukut ne mire zamzama-ḳhvan ko kha liya

haa.e vo sub.h-e-bebasi haa.e vo sham-e-be-kasi

sa.at-e-bad ne is dafa azurdagan ko kha liya

tazkire rah ga.e faqat vo bhi hain kitni der tak

tu ne sukut-e-bekaran harf-o-bayan ko kha liya

kasa-e-vaqt men koi sikka-e-roz-o-shab kahan

bad-e-fana ne ḳhatra-e-sud-o-ziyan ko kha liya

hasti-e-ḳhush-guman sanbhal soch-samajh ke chaal chal

alam-e-nist ne har ik nam-o-nishan ko kha liya

ḳhema-e-vasl jal ga.e ham-rahi rah badal ga.e

aur shab-e-firaq ne qalb-e-tapan ko kha liya
