jab bhii chuum letaa huN un hasiiN aaNkhoN ko
sau chiraaGh andhere meN jhilmilaane lagte haiN
Khushk Khushk hoNTon meN jaise dil kheNch aataa hai
dil meN kitne aa’iine TharTharaane lagte haiN
phuul kyaa, shiGhuufe kyaa, chaaNd kyaa, sitaare kyaa
sab raqiib qadmoN par sar jhukaane lagte haiN
zehn jaag uThtaa hai, ruuh jaag uThtii hai
naqsh aadmiyaat ke jagmagaane lagte haiN
lau nikalne lagtii hai mandiroN ke siine se
devtaa fazaaoN meN muskuraane lagte haiN
(shiGhuufe : blossoms; raqiib : competitor; zehn : mind; ruuh : soul; naqsh : foot-prints)
raqs karne lagtii haiN muurateN Ajanta kii
muddatoN ke lab-bastaa Gaar gaane lagte haiN
phuul khilne lagte haiN ujRe ujRe gulshan meN
tishnaa-tishnaa getii (?) par abr chhaane lagte haiN
lamha bhar ko ye duniyaa zulm chhoR detii hai
lamhaa bhar ko sab patthar muskuraane lagte haiN

please see if anyone can find translation for ram ka doosra banwas.
sunanda.
Mohib, see if u can upload ‘Ram ka doosra bawas’ for listening here!
Kaifi Azmi is a great urdu poet. this poem is one of his famous poems. i liked it……
Well, I could try and explain Doosra Banwaas, but believe me it would not go down well with many.Whatever Kaifi saheb talks about, I was witness to some of it and I can relate to whatever is being said there and thus, maybe, I am in a position to “explain” it.It is quite easy to understand though.Anyway,here goes:
—————————————————
Ram banwaas se laut kar jab ghar mein aaye,
yaad jungle bahot aaya jo nagar mein aaye
raqs-e-diwaangi aangan mein jo dekha hoga,
6 december to Sri Ram ne socha hoga,
itne deewanae kahan se mere ghar mein aaye
Dharam kya unka hai kya zaat hai yeh janta kaun,
ghar na jalta to unhe raat mein pahenchanta kaun,
ghar jalane ko log mera jo ghar main aaye
shakahaari hain mere dost tumhare khanjar,
tumne babar ki taraf phenke they saare patthar,
hai mere sar ki khata zakhm jo sar main aaye
paon sarju main abhi Ram ne dhoye bhi na they,
ki nazar aaye wahan khoon ke gehre dhabbe
paon dhoye bina sarju ke kinare se uthe,
Ram yeh kehte hue apne duare se uthe,
Raaajdhaani ki faza aaye nahin raas mujhe,
6 dec ko mila doosra banwaas mujhe
