Dil-e-naadaan tujhe huaa kya hai

An inspiration from Ghalib Mirza Asadullah Khan (1979-1863)

Dil-e-naadaan tujhe huaa kya hai

Aakhir is dard kee dawa kya hai

Hamko unse wafa ki hai ummeed

Jo naheen jaante wafa kya hai

Ham hain mushtaaq aur woh bezaar

Ya ilaahee ! Yeh maajra kya hai ?

Main bhi muh me zabaan rakhataa hun

Kaash puchho ki mudda kyaa hai

Jab ki tujh bin naheen koyi maujood

Fir ye hangaama, ‘ei khuda ! Kya hai

Sabz-o-gul kahaan se aaye hai

Abr kyaa chiz hai, havaa kyaa hai

Jaan tum par nisaar karta hoon

Main naheen jaanata duaa kya hai

Haan bhalaa kar, teraa bhalaa hogaa

Aur daravesh ki sadaa kyaa hai

Maine maanaa ki kuchh nahi “Ghalib”

Muft haath aaye, to buraa kyaa hai

Talash

Khuda ( sachhayi) ki talash mei khud tak pahunch k ruk mat jaana....

Ae Summi, Tehrau ko Manzil na samajh.

Ghawr kar, Agae aisae aur makhaam ayaegae

Joh sirf teri imteha aur taleemat k liyae banayae gayae hai.

Towards You

Mohobat-e-duniya k gumrahi mei kuch nahi paya

Ab sirf teri khwaish mei chalrahi hu aye Rab

Nahi hai yaqeen tere milne ka

Kyu ki aye Khuda, yea rastae bhi tu ne hi toh banaya

Lekin yeh bhataknei mei bhi ajeeb sa sukoon hai rooh ko

(Gained nothing by being blinded by the love for the worldly things

Now I am longing for you, the supreme reality (truth)

Uncertain that I may reach you and become enlightend

As you only have created the maze that I am in.

Even then, this wandering for truth has a sense of peace in my soul.....)

Decision

I see myself stretching my hand towards the apple tree. 

Each fruit of it has a picture of mine, posing myself in the role of my aspiring dreams. 

Starving. 

Confused. 

Advancing to death, as I know this time will never come back. 

But I couldn't make up my mind of which one to choose. 

I want each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest.

One decision leads to so many indecisions.

How do I construct myself with limitations???

Cant I have them all?
