52 THE DREADFUL NIGHT DID COME AND GO

52  THE DREADFUL NIGHT DID COME AND GO

The dreadful night did come and go
And I could hear the rooster crow

And in my dream I saw her face
With all its charm, and beauty, and grace

But when I told her I love her so
She got upset and started to go

But then in the morning came the breeze
And brought with it some peace and ease

And then the breeze did also leave
And sat I down to heave and grieve

                          URDU POEM
                              GHAZAL

Shaam e firaaq, ab na poochh, aaie aur aa kay tal gaie
Dil tha keh phir bahal gaya, jaan thi keh phir sanbhal gaie

Bazm e khayaal maen teray husn ki shumay jal gaie
Dard ka chaand bujh gaya, hijr ki raat dhal gaie

Jab tujhay yaad ker lia, subhay mahak mahak uthhi
Jab tera gham jaga lia, raat machal machal gaie

Dil say toe her maamla ker kay chalay thay saaf hum
Kehnay maen us kay saamnay baat badal badal gaie

Aakhir e shab kay humsafar FAIZ na jaanay kya huay
Reh gaie kis jageh saba, subhay kidhar nikal gaie
