کیا وہ غلام رحمان بھی ہیں
تنور ہے جنکا سینا
کیا وہ نسیم داماں بھی ہیں

Cheley kahaN pohNchey?

Dekha falaah, jhoot makr ke jor ghataa-o meiN
Yeh kya jaa-neiN hiisaab-e-aala key nazarey
Mili hai guruji sey sanad khoob samajh kii
Din meiN koozey meiN nazar ateiN haiN taarey

Shah Baaz

Famished were mountains of grains
Sky always gasped for space
Mechanics abounded in plenty
Sights and hearts were always untraced

Dehsatgard kaun hai?

Urdu
Kisney kii hai yurish-eiN hawaas insaaN meiN
Kisney lagaii hai aag behr be-karaaN meiN
Kisney kiyaa hai aasmaan ka seena chal-nii
Kisney daala hai daaka mataa-e-jahaaaN meiN

Who is a terrorist?

Who has cleaved hearts of men?
Who has set on fire our oceans?
Who has perforated our sky?
Who has robbed belongings of men?

Jise gandum ka ek daana hazm na hota ho

Urdu

Jise gandum ka ek daana hazm na hota ho
Who naan ki baat na karey to kya karey
Paani meiN rahna mach-liyoN ka kaam hai
SaaNp ghabra ker bahar na aye to kya karey
Jiska na ho koi mad-dah o dadrasah
Ta-an apni dhol na bajaye to kya karey
Jiska dil ho sokhta, ser para para
Woh khaak na uraye to kya karey!

English
Who could’nt digest a grain of wheat
Why would'nt he talk of pastries and cakes
Water is an abode of fishes
Why would’nt smothered snakes escape
Who could’nt have a cheer of praise
Why would’nt he beat his drums one to make
Head in shreds, heart burnt to dust
Why would’nt he raise storms in his wake!

Shah baaz

Chor dey i-raada bandagi kaa

Chor dey i-raada bandagi kaa
Aajizi ka, parsai kaa
Phor ley apni aaNkhein

Khaa-key qasmeiN bandagi ka

बर्न the candle with your finger

Aati hai na janey kahaN sey yeh bala
Iman waloN ko deti hai yeh sada
AafreeN aazab-e-ilm be-amli ka sakht hai
Bey-gosh naa-beena bhala ,aag ko daaman sey jalaa

bey-gosh = without ears naa-beena= without eyes

The following is my English poetry bordering on the same feelings. It is a sarcasm on the mindset of my community here!

Where-from the ghosts descend
With plaintiff call they rend
Severe is the punishment
Knowledge sans accomplishment
Deaf and blinds have passed the tests
Light your fires with your tents.

Kiska hai yeh waswasa: Whose insinuation is the whisper

Kiska hai yeh waswa-saa
kiskii hai yeh sargoshi
tu sahib-e-imaan hai
ya hai tu weh-shi
tan-0-tan sajdah karey
mun-o-mun madhoshii

The following is my english poetry on the same subject.
Is it devils whisper

Or my beloved’s new song
You swore by your faith
Yet you lost your way
With heaps of your bowings
You marked your way
Yet your twinkling heart
You threw away.

Salaam na gunjey itna!

Mitey furquat wafaa o jafaa meiN
KareiN haiN salaam meiN gham-maazi itni
