ek hunar hai jo kar gayaa huuN maiN
sab ke dil se utar gayaa huuN maiN
(hunar : skill)
kaise apnii haNsii ko zabt karuuN
sun rahaa huuN ke ghar gayaa huuN maiN
(zabt : control)
kyaa bataauuN ke mar nahiiN paataa
jiite ji jab se mar gayaa huuN maiN
ab hai bus apna saamnaa darpesh
har kisii se guzar gayaa huuN maiN
(darpesh : to confront)
voh hii naaz-o-adaa, voh hii Ghamze
sar-ba-sar aap par gayaa huuN maiN
kab uskaa visaal chaahiye thaa
bas aik Khayaal chaahiye thaa
(visaal : meeting)
kab dil ko javaab se Gharz thii
hoNToN ko savaal chaahiye thaa
shauq ek nafas thaa aur vafaa ko
paas-e-maah-o-saal chaahiye thaa
(nafas : moment; maah-o-saal : months and years)
ek chehraa-e-saadaa thaa jo hamko
be-misl-o-misaal chaahiye thaa
(be-misl-o-misaal : incomparable)
ek qarb meN zaat-o-zindagii haiN
mumkin ko muhaal chaahiye thaa
Jaun Elia
