Death Is Not the End of Life

موت کو سمجھے ہیں غافل اختتامِ زندگی
ہے یہ شامِ زندگی صبحِ دوامِ زندگی

Maut ko samjhe hain ghaafil ikhtitaam-e-zindagi
Hai ye shaam-e-zindagi subh-e-dawaam-e-zindagi

Call Me a Collector of Grief, Not a Poet

ہم کو شاعر نہ کہو میر کہ صاحب ہم نے
درد و غم کتنے کیے جمع تو دیوان کیا

Hum ko sha'ir na kaho Mir ke saahib hum ne
Dard-o-gham kitne kiye jam'a to deevaan kiya

Four Days of Life, Lost in Wishing

عمرِ دراز مانگ کر لائے تھے چار دن
دو آرزو میں کٹ گئے دو انتظار میں

Umr-e-daraaz maang kar laaye thay chaar din
Do aarzu mein kat gaye do intezaar mein

Even Alexander's Grave Is Gone

نہ گورِ سکندر نہ ہے قبرِ دارا
مٹے نامیوں کے نشاں کیسے کیسے

Na gor-e-Sikandar na hai qabr-e-Daara
Mite naamiyon ke nishaan kaise kaise

New Worlds Are Born of New Ideas

جہانِ تازہ کی افکارِ تازہ سے ہے نمود

Jahaan-e-taaza ki afkaar-e-taaza se hai namood
Ke sang-o-khisht se hote nahin jahaan paida

The Age of Unveiling Has Come

زمانہ آیا ہے بے حجابی کا عام دیدارِ یار ہوگا
سکوت تھا پردہ دار جس کا وہ راز اب آشکار ہوگا

Zamaana aaya hai be-hijaabi ka aam deedaar-e-yaar hoga
Sukoot tha parda-daar jis ka woh raaz ab aashkaar hoga

So Many Faces Have Vanished

اٹھ گئی ہیں سامنے سے کیسی کیسی صورتیں
روئیے کس کے لیے کس کس کا ماتم کیجئے

Uth gayi hain saamne se kaisi kaisi sooratein
Roiye kis ke liye kis kis ka maatam keejiye

Death, Come Tonight as a Favour

اے اجل ایک دن آخر تجھے آنا ہے ولے
آج آتی شبِ فرقت میں تو احساں ہوتا

Ae ajal ek din aakhir tujhe aana hai wale
Aaj aati shab-e-furqat mein to ehsaan hota

Life Is But a Single Night

Hans kar guzaar ya ise ro kar guzaar de

Desire Lives While the Eyes Still Move

گو ہاتھ میں جنبش نہیں آنکھوں میں تو دم ہے
رہنے دو ابھی ساغر و مینا میرے آگے

Go haath mein jumbish nahin aankhon mein to dam hai
Rehne do abhi saaghar-o-meena mere aage
