Khush-jamaaloN kii yaad aatii hai
be-misaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

(jamaal : elegance; be-misaal : peerless)

baais-e-rashk-e-mah’r-o-maah the jo
un hilaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

(baais-e-rashk : cause of envy; maah : moon; hilaal : new moon)

jin se duniyaa-e-dil munavvar thii
un ujaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

(munavvar : luminous)

jin kii aaNkhoN meN thaa suruur-e-Ghazal
un GhazaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

(suruur : intoxication; Ghazaal : Gazelle)

saadgii laa-javaab hai jinkii
un savaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

zikr sunte haiN nau-javaanii kaa
kuch KhayaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

jaane vaale kabhii nahiiN aate
jaane vaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

“Wajd” lutf-e-suKhan mubaarak ho
baa-kamaaloN kii yaad aatii hai

(lutf-e-suKhan : elegant poetry; baa-kamaal : those capable of excellence)

Good ghazal. It always surprises me how Sikandar Ali Wajd who was once considered in the leaguge of the top Progressive poets has been nearly forgotten.
