निंदकी तरह जागारहा

निंदकी तरह जागारहा तो रात पुरी गुजरजाये,
जागकर सबेरा सोया दिन युंँअधुरी गुजरजाये!
          पलकोंको चुमकर ख्वाब वो हसिन युसुफीया,
         मोहब्बतकी वादे वफा दफादस्तुरी गुजरजाये!
किस किस्मकी रश्मोरिवाज दुनियादारी वसर,
गुजरहो नाहो रुह-ए-जहन मस्हुरी गुजरजाये!
         आजकी तारिख लिखना तो बस् सोचना भरहै,
         सोचाईसे परे कुछभीहो बात अपुरी गुजरजाये!
आँखोमे छुपी रोशनीहै तो रोशनजहां फैलाहै,
बे-वजह बुझा-बुझा चिराग-ए-हुरी गुजरजाये!
         रङ्ग रोशनी आज महकी चाय तेरी एहसासोंके,
         जानेमन पिलेनेसे सँगतेरे हरमजबुरी गुजरजाये!

Awoken fast asleep the whole night goes past by. Risen up at dawn the day sleeps away pass by. Kissing all over the eyelids is a beautiful dream of the great lover Yusuf, all rituals, vows, and duties fulfilled by a cover.

Wonderful rites-rituals, give and take life of responsibilities. Fulfilled and unfulfilled but the fame, name, and success achieved in living vanishes away. Today, history is written only in a thinking way.

Out of thinking is nothing out there of mind, and the ideas seem to remain of an incomplete kind. The light is not out there hidden inside but the eyes, that make the world all over look lit bright.

For no reason, the heavenly lamp kept put off! The colour, the light of all knowing of thyself sweet smell has been prepared the tea for you.

Sweetheart, drinking tea with you is a relief for me from all my ailing and poverty!
