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

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
