Bohot masroor thay jeenay ki duaaon per Shakeel

Mila hai ranj to taaseer pe rona aaya

Howdie folks,

This will be (most probably) my last post for the year. I'm going on a vacation tomorrow inshaAllah! To Australia! I'll be back from there on the 11th of next month, and will probably be back on the blog a couple of days after that inshaAllah.

Take care and a very happy new year,

Ambareen

Kabhi Halaat Ki

Kabhi halaat ki gardish se ghabraaya nahin kartay

Hisaab-e-zindgaani sab ko samjhaaya nahin kartay

Bohot be-chain kar detay hain mustaqbil ke andeshay

Bohot se khaab hain taabeer jo paaya nahin kartay

Kheyaalon ke gulistaanon mein aati ha khizaa.n bar

Bohot se zakhm hain aisay jo dikhlaaya nahin kartay

Rivaaj-o-rasm ki bandish ujaalay cheen leti hai

Khalish dil mein ho sab ko batlaaya nahin kartay

Koi dil mein ho aur vo doosray ke dil ki dharkan ho

Muqaddar apna apna hai sabhi paaya nahin kartay

(I heard this as a title song, sung by Nayyara Noor, for a Pakistani drama named "Hijaab". Cast included Farhan Ali Agha, Azra Siddique and others. If you happen to know the name of the poet, or the full version, please let me know).

Sher

Sard taareek raaton mein
Siyaah saavan ki baarish mein
Dard jab muskuraatay hain
To aankhain khoob roti hain
