Mehfil-e-Ghazal - 20th July, 2016

apanii tasweer ko aaNkhoN se lagataa kyaa hai - Shehzad Ahmed

apanii tasweer ko aaNkhoN se lagataa kyaa hai
ik nazar merii taraf dekh, teraa jaataa kyaa hai

merii rusawaa_ii meN too bhii hai baraabar kaa shareek
mere qisse mere yaaroN ko sunaataa kyaa hai

[rusawaa_ii = notoriety; shareek = to be a part of]

paas rah kar bhii na pahachaan sakaa too mujh ko
door se dekh kar ab haath hilaataa kyaa hai

umr bhar apane girebaaN se ulajhane waale
too mujhe mere saaye se Daraataa kyaa hai
 
maiN teraa kuchh bhii nahiiN hooN, magar itanaa to bataa
dekh kar mujh ko tere zehan meN aataa kyaa hai

[zehan = mind]

mar gaye pyaas ke maare to uThaa abr-e-karam
bujh ga_ii bazm to ab shama jalaataa kyaa hai

safar-e-shauq meN kyoN kaaNpate haiN paaNw tere
door se dekh kar ab haath uThaataa kyaa hai
