(Bang-e-Dra-127) Eid Par Shair Likhne Ki Farma'ish Ke Jawab Mein

Eid Par Shair Likhne Ki Farmaeesh Ke Jawab Mein
In Response To The Request For Writing A Poem On Eid

Ya Shalamaar Mein Ek Barg-e-Zard Kehta Tha
Gya Woh Mousam-e-Gul Jis Ka Raazdar Hun Main

In the Shalamar Garden a yellowed leaf was saying
“Gone is that spring of which the confidante I am

Na Paimaal Karain Mujh Ko Zaeeran-e-Chaman
Inhi Ki Shakh Nasheman Ki Yadgar Hun Main

The garden’s visitors should not trample me down
The memory of the branch of their own nest I am”

Zara Se Patte Ne Betaab Kar Diya Dil Ko
Chaman Mein Aa Ke Sarapa Gham-e-Bahar Hun Main

This tiny little leaf made the heart restless
One coming into the garden complete mourner of spring I am

Khazan Main Mujh Ko Rulati Hai Yad-e-Fasl-e-Bahar
Khushi Ho Eid Ki Kyunkar Ke Sougwar Hun Main

In the autumn I am crying in remembrance of the spring
How can I get the happiness of Eid as griefstricken I am

Ujaar Ho Gye Ehd-e-Kuhan Ke Maikhane
Guzishta Badah Praston Ki Yaadgar Hun Main

Devastated have become the olden days’ taverns
A memorial of the olden days’ wine drinkers I am

Payam-e-Aysh-o-Massarat Humain Sunata Hai
Hilal-e-Eid Humari Hansi Urata Hai

It gives the message of pleasure and happiness to us!
The crescent of Eid is making fun of us!
