हादसा

तुम्हे क्या बतायें  कि क्या हुआ

मेरे  साथ  है  जो  सितम  हुआ

दिल  तोड़  के वो  ये  कह  गये

लो, ये क़िस्सए – दर्द क़लम हुआ

हमें क्यों हो उससे  गिला कभी

हमें आये  उसका  ख़याल क्यों

हम  उसे  न  चाहेंगे  उम्र – भर

जो वफ़ाओं से मेरी सहम गया

कटी  उम्र  उजड़े- दयार    में

 यूँ  ही  इंतज़ारे – बहार   में

ये  पयाम  लायी  है  फ़ना

तेरा  इन्तज़ार  ख़तम  हुआ

     Translation

        Mishap

How do I tell you what happened

The injustice that’s done to me

He broke my heart and said ,here

The episode of pain is over

Why should I have any grouse against him

Why should I even think of him

I can’t love a person,in this life-time

Who feels threatened by my loyalties

My life is spent in wilderness

Just waiting for happy days

Message has,finally, come from Death

That I need not wait any longer
