ujdaa dayaar (A Barren Garden)

Kyun dekhte ho mujhe is kadar,
Ki jisse ab hai rashq main vo bichda pyaar hun.
Na hun main tere mahboob ke terhven ka maatam,
Khafa bahaar jisse, main bas wo ujdaa dayaar hun.

Mana ki cheekti hai ik chuppi meri har ik nass se,
aur chubta hai meri veeran rahon ka andhera teri aankhon mein.
Par nahi main kissi kaafir ke dafn ki jagah,
Gar hun bhi to bus ik pagal aashiq ka mazaar hun......
Khafa bahaar jisse,main bus wo ujda dayaar hun.

Dekhe hain maine bhi zamaane ke sabhi mausam,
Wo husn ki naadaniyaan, wo ishk ka ladakpan.
Ye surkh rang jo tujhe mahsoos hota hain sukhe patton ka,
hai lahu isi husn -au- ishq ka jisse ab talak main daagdaar hun.
Khafa bahaar jisse,main bus wo ujda dayaar hun.

Dekh kar mere jhurrion se lath path jism ko,
Tu ye na soch main thak gaya hun, mar jaunga abhi.
Bharne de ye zakhm, Zara dhalne de ye rut,
Hazaron kaliyaan leke main fir khilne ko taiyaar hun.
ayegi bahaar firse, chand din bus ujdaa dayaar hun......
Chand roz mein milenge,fir dekhna har su chhayi bahaar hun....
