Poem 6 - Aaj Khush Hoon Mein

 

( This one is the HINDI version written with English alphabets.)

    

 

Aaj Khush Hoon Mein- khush hoon mein- khush hoon mein;

Aaj khush hoon mein, alfaj nahin batane ko;
Mand muskan hai chayi, na pta chale is zamane ko; 

Hua hai zikr unka, do pal mangte the bitane ko; 
Didaar na hi sahi, kuch yaadein hain doob jane ko; 

Aaj fir bheed hai umdi, unke rooh bhare najrane ko; 
Qatar mein hain hum bhi, unki bas-ek zhalak pane ko; 

Yad hain vo pal, vo pehli thi mulakat; 
Kaamp rahe the hath, par dil mein the jajbaat; 

Khil- khila rahe the vo, jaise bin badal barsat; 
Koshish thi poori, na keh sake vo baat; 

Keh to hum dete, par kuch aise the hallat; 
Darte the bas itna, na milne ki na lein saugat; 

Mauke bahut talashe, kuch dale saajish mein do hath; 
Bas hojayen unse rubroo, nahi chahiye thi kaynat; 

Yuhin beet gayi vo ghadiyan, vo din or vo raat; 
Gardish mein the taare, aur hathon mein the hath; 

Achanak-Achanak hui gad-gadahat, roshni thi chuh Jane ko; 
Nikla jab mein bahar, kismat pakdi khadi sirahne ko; 

Suraj ki kirane-baarish ki boonden thi tim-timane ko; 
Mano keh rahi ho dekh le, mein laayi tere nazrane ko; 

Hua hai fir didar unka kya kahoon, kuch-bahoot kuch hai jatane ko; 
                                             Aafreen-aafreen-aafreen;                                                

Jaagi ye dil mein rangat, chahoon cheekh Jane ko; 

Dar hain vo mere aaye, la rakhoon poore jamane ko; 
Bande ne ki khatir, baarish thi chook Jane ko; 

Nikal gayi vo haste, deke naya mode paimane ko; 
Yaaron mehfil hai aaj saji, bhar do poore mehkhane ko;

Bakshi hai tune ye rehmat, nahin mere pas kuch chukane ko; 
Shiddat se kia deedar unka, chah nahin kuch or paane ko; 

Ae malik- Ae malik mitade mere aksh ko; 
Ji loon mein ji bhar ke, swapan is suhane ko.
