It's raining blessings

A flower sprouts from the "Dirt" they say,
Sun shines and leaves nothing ablaze,
Night dawns just to remind you to gaze,
O man you cry, doubt your days,
It's raining blessings, but what do you pray?

Some Random Lines

हैं रूखे नक़ाब में छुपाये हुए क़यामत, की आज चाँद सितम ढ़ा रहा है
है छुपता कभी निकलता वो, शायद मेरा यार सितमगर आ रहा है I
दूँ सजा आज कायनात को मैं , की वक़्त अब कम बचा है |
कुछ भी तो नहीं बचा इंतज़ार में, रहम है खुदा का की थोड़ा सा दम बचा है | 

Decieved Self

 It crumbles and cries,
longs for huddles and highs,
It smokes, it eats,
It makes the instrument, dance to it's beats.

It plays all games, make all rules,
It makes me tiger and sometimes mule,
I know for certain this mischievous elf.
I am hopeless and done with my deceived self

Ibrahim Zauq Part 2

dariyaa-e-ashk chashm se jis aan bah gayaa
sun liijiyo ke arsh kya aivaan bah gayaa
[dariyaa-e-ashk= stream of tears; chashm = eyes; aan = moment; arsh = heaven; aivaan = palace ]

zaahid sharaab piine se kaafir huaa main kyun
kyaa dedh chulluu paanii mein imaan bah gayaa
yun roye phuut phuut ke paanvon ke aabale
naalaa saa ek suu-e-biyaabaan bah gayaa
[aabale = blisters; naalaa = stream; suu-e-biyaabaan= towards wilderness]
kashtii savaar-e-umr hun bahr-e-fanaa mein main
jis dam bahaa ke le gayaa tuufaan bah gayaa
thaa 'Zauq' pahale dillii mein panjaab kaa saa husn
par ab vo paanii kahate hain multaan bah gayaa

Ibrahim Zauq Part 1

Aankhein meri talvon se màl jaaye to achchha,
Hai hasrat-e-paa-bös nikal jaaye to achchha;
[paa-bos=kissing the feet;]
Jo chashm ke be-nàm ho. woh hon kor to behtar,
Jo dil ke ho be-daagh woh jal jaaye to achchha;
[kor=sightless;]

Furqàth mein teri taar-e-nafas seené mein mere,
Kaanta sa khatakta hai nikal jaaye to achchha;
[furqat=separation; taar-e-nafas= pain like needles pricking]
Woh subah ko aaye to karoon baatein main dopahar,
Aur chahoon ke din thoda sa dhal jaaye to achchha;
Dhal jaaye jo din bhi to isee tarah karoon shaam,
Aur chahoon ke gàr aaj se kal jaaye to achchha;
Jab kal ho to phir wohi karoon kal ki tarah se,
Gàr aaj ka din bhi yunhi tàl jaaye to achchha;
Al-qissa nahin chaahta main jaaye woh yaahan se,
Dil usska yahin gàr-ché behel jaaye to achchha."
[al-qissaa= in short]

The Ghost

The Ghost, yes the G-host,
Or may be thee-host,
Imagined in trouble times,
Or ignored utmost,
Mystical in appearance,
Spirit in the lost,
Haunting the haunted,
Sometimes blessing thee-host,
The Ghost, yes the G-host.

The Fool

He calls himself Old school,
Sometimes play around with newer tool.
He thrives on his intellect,
Belongs to the Intellectual pool.
He preach reason,
Dumbs down The Rule.
He knows that he knows,
And says "Look there goes The Fool".

He is a social animal,
Solves issues Cruel.
He paints, he writes,
Participate in Duel.
He claims to separate,
Man from a Mule,
He knows he is free,
And says "Look there goes The Fool".
