Happenings Poem by Suhail Kakorvi

Aina hanste hanste shikasta hua
Apne hi aks se mera jhagda hua
[continuous laughter broken the mirror on,
The conflict between me and my reflection]

ye kisi aur se usko dhokha hua
Mujhko dukh hai ki wo shabgazeeda hua
[Somebody else has done this cheating to her
I am grieved that she was bitten by night]


Husn ko is safar men hun darkaar main
Raasta bas mera hai ye samjha hua
[Beauty wants me to be comanion in this jouney
For I am aware of right directions of this paath]

Jo bhi hai wo hai ummidware sahar
Isliye raat ka dil hai dooba hua
[Everyone longs brightness of break of morning
Night broods over it with heart sinking]

Is nazare men mehshar ke aasaar hain
Ishq soya hua husn jaga hua
[ There are signs of doomsday in this sight
when love is in slumber and beauty is awakened]


jo bhi hasil hua zeest main kam laga
yun har inssan nazre khisara hua
[What one gained in life looked insufficient
That way he remained throughout in loss in life]

Aik rukh ye bhi uski adaon ka haye
Tod leta hai wo phool khilta hua
[This surely is an angle of sweet style
As beloved plucks ever a blooming flower]

poochta hai jise dekho tum ho kahan
Ishq kya ho gaya ek tamaasha hua
[Everyone asks about my location now
Love has became a mare show for me]


Dekh kar ye sambhalna mujhe pad gaya
Uski aankhon me nassha tha badhta hua
Seen this I could alert myself because,
In the eyes of beloved intoxiation gradually progressed.


wo to wada koi bhi nibhata nahin
jisse tarke talluq ka wada hua
My beloved never keeps any promise,
The beloved with whom promise of breaking relations was made.


mujhko shak hai ki wo qatl kar payega
Aastin men hai khanjar chipaya hua
I doubt that my beloved would be able to kill me,
for she has hidden the dagger in the sleeve.


wo mere paas aata nahin indinon
usse uska muqaddar hai rootha hua
My beloved does not visit me these days,
I think her fate is not in good tune with her.

kaanpte honth kehte hain sab raaze dil
wo batata hai qissa banaya hua
The trembling lips tell the secrets of the heart,
Though she tells concocted story

Aye suhail usse ye jaan kar tum milo
kab mohabbat men hota hai socha hua
Understanding this oh! poet keep contact with beloved,
that in love nothing happens according to assumptions.
