A lover's grief.

TEARS


Story of my life are tears;
Memories of love are tears.

As I write my sad love tale,
From my pen flow out but tears.

My youth, which bubbled with zen,
Is now plagued by constant tears.

Your love gift, close to my heart,
Is now soaked in gloomy tears.

My story will make you sad;
Khalish you too will shed tears.

***************************

मेरी ज़िंदगी की कहानी हैं आँसू


मेरी ज़िंदगी की कहानी हैं आँसू
मुहब्बत की मेरी निशानी हैं आँसू

किस्सा-ए- उल्फ़त जो लिखने को बैठे
निकले क़लम की रवानी से आँसू

मुस्का रही थी कभी जो ख़ुशी से
बहते हैं अब उस जवानी से आँसू

सीने से जिसको लगा कर रखा है
छूते हैं अब उस निशानी को आँसू

देखो कसम है ख़लिश रो न देना
टपकते हैं मेरी कहानी से आँसू.
