Sheesha na sahi pathar bhi na tha

ONE OF MY FAV. GAZAL:

Har shama bhuji rafta rafta, har khwab luta dheeray dheeray,
Sheesha na sahi pathar bhi na tha, dil toot gaya dheeray dheeray !

[Every candle extinguished slowly-slowly, every dream got crushed slowly-slowly ;
May be I wasn't fragile like glass, but I wasn't hard like stone either, my heart broke slowly-slowly !]

Barson mein marasim bantay hain, lamhon mein bala kya tootaingay,
Tu mujh say bichadna chahey to, deewar utha dheeray dheeray !

[It takes years to build a relationship, how can it break in seconds,
If you want to get separated from me, please break the wall slowly-slowly !]

Ehsaas hua barbaadi ka, jab saaray ghar mein dhool udi,
Aayee hai hamaray aangan mein, patjhad ki hawa dheeray dheeray !

[Realization of the devastation came, when dust was all over the house,
Autumn's winds have visited my courtyard slowly-slowly !]

Dil kaisay jala kis waqt jala, humko bhi pata aakhir mein chala,
Phaila hain dhuan chupkay chupkay, sulgi hai chita dheeray dheeray !

[How and when the heart got burnt, I too knew it only in the end,
Smoke has spread all over silently-silently, pyre has simmered slowly-slowly !]

Woh haath paray ho bhi gayey, ab dhoor ka rishta hai `Kaisar',
Aati hai meri tanhayee mein, khushboo-e-hina dheeray dheeray !

[Those hands have become strangers now, now there is only a distant relationship 'Kaisar',
Fragrance of Henna (Mehndi) comes into my solitude slowly-slowly !]

Har shama bhuji rafta rafta, har khwab luta dheeray dheeray,
Sheesha na sahi pathar bhi na tha, dil toot gaya dheeray dheeray !
