Suraj to De Diya Tha Sitara Bhi De Diya

Shafaq Sopori

suraj to de diya tha sitara bhi de diya

phir ham ne us ko ḳhaak ka ḳhirqa bhi de diya

aslan to shahr-e-ishq ke me.amar the magar

rab ne dayar-e-dard ka Theka bhi de diya

daman pakaḌ ke pichhe ye qallash thi paḌi

duniya ko ham ne bhiik ka kaasa bhi de diya

pagḌi dukan-e-sang-tarashi ki li magar

rokan men kar-ḳhana-e-shisha bhi de diya

tha hashr ko zamana-e-ma-qabl-e-hasti kam

so ham ne apni umr ka arsa bhi de diya

pahle ukhaḌi ḳhitta-e-dasht-e-junun ki baaḌ

phir sar-zamin-e-ḳhak ka qabza bhi de diya

us ki nazar thi haath pe so ham ne is liye

auzar de diye sabhi pesha bhi de diya

apni taraf se main ne ‘shafaq’ ḳhvab de diye

phir us ke ba.ad aankh ka surma bhi de diya
