Aatish Haider Ali Poetry

Chamaan Main Shab Ko jo Wo Shok Be-Naqab Aaya-
Yaken Ho Geya Shabnam Ko Aaftab Aayaa-
Un Ankhdiyon Mein Agar Nasha-e-Sharab Aaya-
Salaam Jhuk Ke Karunga Jo Phir Hijaab Aaya.

Doston Ke is Qadar Sadmy Uthaye Jan Par.

Dil Se Dushmaan K Adawat Ka Gila Jataa Raha.

Yeh Aarzoo Thi Tujhe Gul Ke Ru-Ba-Ru Karte
Hum Aur Bul Bul-e-Betaab Guftagu Karte

Payaam Bar Na Mayassar Hua To Khoob Hua
Zabaan-e-Ghair Se Kyaa Shar Ki Aarzoo Karte

Meri Tarah Se Maah-o-Mahar Bhi Hain Aavaaraa
Kisi Habib Ko Ye Bhi Hain Justajoo Karte

Jo Dekhte Teri Zanjeer-e-Zulf Kaa Aalam
Aseer Hone Ke Aazaad Aarzoo Karte

Na Poochh Aalam-e-Baragashtaa Taali-e-Aatish
Barasati Aag Main Jo Baaraan Ki Aarzoo Karte

Shab-e-Vasl Thi Chandni Kaa Saman Tha.
Bagal Main Saanam Tha, Khuda Maherban Tha.

Wo Shab Thi Ki Thi Roshni Jismen Din Ki.
Zameen Pr Se Ek Nor Taa Aaasman Tha.

Nikaly The do Chand Usne Muqabil.
Wo Shab Subh e Janat Ka Jis Pe Guman Tha.

Urusi Ki Shaab Ki Halawat Thi Hasil.
Farahnak Thi Rooh, Dil Shadman Tha.

Bayaan Khawab Ki Tarah Jo Kar Raha Hai.
Ye Qisa Hai Jab Kaa Ki Aatish Jawan Tha.

Dahan Par Hai Un k Gumaan Kaisy Kaisy
Kalam Aty Hai Darmiyaan Kaisy Kaisy

Zameen e Chaman Gul Khilati Hai Kya Kya
Badalta Hai Rang Aasma-n Kaisy Kaisy

Na Gor-e-Sikandaar Hai Na Qabaar-e-Daraa
Mite Namion Ne Nishaan Kaisy Kaisy

Bahar e Gulistaan Ki Hai Aamaad Aamaad
Ke Phirty Hai Khush Baghbaan Kaise Kaise

Tawaju Ne Teri Hamare Masiha Kaisy
Tamana Ki jeya Natwan Kaisy Kaisy

Dil o Deda e Ahl e Aaalam Mein Ghar Ha
Tumhare Liye Hai Maakan Kaisy Kaisy

Gham-o-Ghurse-o-Rang-o-Andoh-o-Hirman
Haamare Bhi Ha Mehrban Kaisy Kaisy

Kar Jis Qadar Shukr-e-Naimat Woh Kam Ha
Mazaa Lot ti Hai Zabaan Kaisy Kaisy

Wahshaat e Agahi Hai Fasana Meri Ruswai Ka
Aashiq e Zar Hun ik Ah Howy Sehrai Ka

Pao Zindaa Se Na Nikle Tere Sodai Ka
Daag Dil Me Raha Lalaa Sehrai Ka

Bosa Chasham-e-Gizalaa Mujhy Yad Aate Hainn
Nahi Bhola Ma Maza Mewa Sehrai Ka

Yahi Zaanjer Ke Nale Se Sadaa Ati Hai
Qaid Khaany Me Baraa Hal Ha Sodai Ka

Ek Paari Ko Bhi Na Sheshy Me Utaara Maine
Yad Kya Aae Ga Is Gumbaad-e-Menaai Kaa

Shehaar Me Qaflaa Pemaai Bohaat Ki Atish
Ab Iraada Ha Mera Baadiya Pemai Ka

Tarapaty Hain Na Roty Hain Na Hum Fariyad Karaty Hain
Sanam Ki Yad Main Har Dam Khuda Ko Yad Karaty Hain

Unhin Ke Ishq Main Hum Naalaa-o-Fariyaad Karaty Hain
Ilaahi Dekhiye Kiss Din Hamain Vo Yad Karaty Hain

Shab-e-Furqat Main Kya Kya Sanp Laharate Hain Sine Pr
Tumhari Kakul-e-Pechan Ko Jab Ham Yad Karate Hain
