(Bang-e-Dra-087) (Ghazaliyat) Zindagi Insan Ki Ek Dam Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahin

Ghazaliat
Ghazals

Zindagi Insan Ki Ek Dam Ke Sawa Kuch Bhi Nahin
Dam Hawa Ki Mouj Hai, Ram Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahin

The life of Man is no more than a breath!
Breath is a wave of air, it is no more than a flow!

Gul Tabassum Keh Raha Tha Zindagaani Ko Magar
Shama Boli, Girya-e-Gham Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahin

The flower was depicting life as a smile, but
The candle said that it is no more than a cry of grief!

Raaz-e-Hasti Raaz Hai Jab Tak Koi Mehram Na Ho
Khul Gya Jis Dam To Mehram Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahin

The secret of life is a secret till there is a confidante
When it is open, it is nothing more than the confidante!

Zaeeran-e-Kaaba Se Iqbal Ye Puche Koi
Kya Haram Ka Tohfa Zamzam Ke Siwa Kuch Bhi Nahin

Somebody should ask the pilgrims of Ka’bah, O Iqbal
Is the gift of the Harem nothing more than Zamzam?
