Angushtnumai

Kahta hai zamana ke kyun itna naaz karte ho

bhala kyun apne parde sabpe daraaz karte ho

aajzee ka phir jhuk ke sabko salam hota hai

khamosh hi phir jawab mera aam hota hai

zabaan agar meri mere dil ka teer ho jaye

aur kaghzi pairahan pe sabke shamsheer ho jaye

to nazara e zer zang aalood ka ho jaye

aur zahir raaz parwaaz-zood ka ho jaye

kyun kar kisi ke aab o taab ko figaar karein

kyun hum kisi ke bharam ko muft char karein

behis ho mumkin jalal mera natwaan nahi 

nahi aisa ki nazr o qalb o baazu mein jaan nahi

ehteyaat ho ki niyat mein khaar na ho 

aur mutlaq humse qurbat mein aar na ho

mushtaq phir dar e ulfat kushada milega

bezarar purzauq ziyafat ko aamaada milega

mehfooz un faslon mein angushtnumai ko rahna hai

jahan se saquib ki shanakht shadeed adna hai

All Belong To Me

Those enticing worlds I fly above
upon whom my eyes spill colors
they think to catch me and see me full
in my piquant and enthralling finery
some proud ones wish to hunt me down
and see me perched in golden chains
and pluck from me my feathers
to obtain their courtly  aureoles
or some miserable of those worlds
forever livid in their monotonic spirits
watch me with their adoptive eyes
to lure me to their fostered nests
and there are some insolent of them
while they shoo me away from theirs
in mine I keep them with no grudge
like untouched pallid fruits in acrid peels
I fly and I keep flying all the life
and with airs I shed my feathers far and wide
and if I am true and my blood intact
they all belong to me and I to them.

Wo sab jin khaamion ke charche hain 
Wo humare nahi kahin aur ke hain
Jo agar nazron ko na padh sake zamana
To kya un nazron ke hum hi saaye hain 

Wo humara sab se yun nazrein churana
Aur sabki nazron ko humse chhupana
Kya koi raaz aisa gahra banega
Ki apno se khud ko begana banana

Koi  aake mere khwabon mein jhanke
Nighah e shauq meri nazmon pe lake
Ke kyun tahreeri surkhi  chhati rahi hai
Kyun rona chahta hai sabko bula ke

Jo zidd o laher aam ho chali hai
Jo tasveer e ulfat nakaam ho chali hai
Koi  to uska nigahbaan ho le
Jis subah ki berang shaam ho chali hai

Wo gaye zamane ki kheenchega sheera
Wo bedaari hai unqa jo paein sameera
Nahi bazm aisi ki iffat milegi
Kya mila hai kabhi zakheeron mein heera

Sab apne zom mein jiye ja rahe hain
Sab apni bedaari siye ja rahe hain
Wo apnon mein talkhi gholne ki
Jo wo adl khud pe kiye ja rahe hain

Na jane nazron ka kya pher le ke
Aur saare afsaanon ka zer le ke
Timtimata hai saquib apni shab ganwaye
Aazmata hai lafz apne hech le ke
