un ka zikr un ki tamanna un ki yaad
waqt kitna qimti hai aaj kal
her mention, her yearning her memory
O how precious time now seems to me
Shakeel Badayuni
unhen apne dil ki KHabren mere dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruTh jaun to payam tak na pahunche
Shakeel Badayuni
wahi karwan wahi raste wahi zindagi wahi marhale
magar apne apne maqam par kabhi tum nahin kabhi hum nahin
Shakeel Badayuni
yun to har sham umidon mein guzar jati hai
aaj kuchh baat hai jo sham pe rona aaya
Every evening was, by hope, sustained
This evening's desperation makes me weep
Shakeel Badayuni
aat thi jab tumhaara shahr aaya
phir bhi khiDki to main ne khaul hi li
Shariq Kaifi
shayad isi ka nam mohabbat hai 'shefta'
ek aag si hai sine ke andar lagi hui
Shefta Mustafa Khan
maraz-e-ishq jise ho use kya yaad rahe
na dawa yaad rahe aur na dua yaad rahe
he who is stricken by love, remembers naught at all
no cure will come to mind, nor prayer will recall
Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
