27 THE GLORIOUS SUN IS RISING AGAIN

27  THE GLORIOUS SUN IS RISING AGAIN

The glorious sun is rising again
And a realm of light it’s coming to reign

The strings of lyre are all on fire
And a hymn is singing the morning’s choir

And having endured the dark of night
The lovers are looking all cheery and bright

The birds are singing and flying in the air
And see no predator anywhere there

So let’s pick up our glasses of wine
And on the grass let’s all recline

And let’s enjoy; it’s sunny and warm
And let’s not worry about the storm

                        URDU POEM
                          GHAZAL

Phir loata hay khursheed e jahaantaab safar say
Phir noor e sahar dast o gareebaan hay sahar say

Phir aag bharhaknay lagi her saaz e tarab maen
Phir shoalay lapaknay lagay her deeda e tar say

Phir nikla hay deewaana koie phoonk kay ghar ko
Kuchh kehti hay her raah her ik raahguzar say

Wo rang hay imsaal gulistaan ki fiza ka
Oajhal hui deewaar e qafas hudd e nazar say

Saaghar toe khanaktay haen sharaab aa'ay na aa'ay
Baadal toe garajtay haen ghhata barsay na barsay

Papoash ki kya fikr hay, dastaar sanbhaalo
Paayaab hay jo moaj guzar jaay gi sar say
